Teddy Long recently participated in a Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge’s YouTube channel, and he had a lot to say about two former WWE executives.
Long, according to Mac Davis, had some of his best segments with John Laurinaitis. Long stated, “They were good because he didn’t know that I hated him in real life. He didn’t know it. I have no respect for a man that tried to stop me from feeding my family. A man that hated me for no reason. I’ve never done nothing to him. To come in my face and laugh and grin, it’s just unreal man.”
Long continued, “I had the opportunity with one of the referees, that me and him rode together. I’ll leave the name out. He came and told me exactly what he was making as a referee. He was making more money than me and I’m the General Manager running this company (in the storyline). That was all Laurinaitis’ deal. Like I told you, him and Mark Carrano are the worst two people on this planet.”
Long also noted that Laurinaitis told him that Teddy Long action figures were not produced because people would not buy them. Long stated that Laurinaitis was “probably” the person who prevented WWE from selling t-shirts bearing his likeness.
During the Q&A, Long mentioned Roman Reigns as one of his favorite wrestlers on TV today, and said that LA Knight can fill Roman’s shoes if he leaves for Hollywood. He mentioned the Undertaker kidnapping angle as one of his favorite things to do in WWE. Long also discussed Bray Wyatt and why the writers missed the boat with him, as well as praising the women’s division.
