WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently spoke with Sportskeeda Wrestling for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Long was asked about his experience appearing on the WWE Draft:
“Well, no experience. I mean, I just go to work. That’s what I do. It was the first time I did that though. It was part of the draft and that was really exciting. I never did that before, so everything was good. The morale, everybody seemed to be happy and having a great time. That’s the way I like to go in, you know, with everybody happy and nobody’s angry. All the young kids were there. I had a chance to talk to a few of them, give them a little bit of advice, and talk to him about things they should do and things they should not do. It was just a fun time there and me being able to be with my man, JBL. You know, me and him got a lot of history, so I had a great time.”
Interacting with Matt Riddle backstage:
“Me and Matt talked a little bit. I love Matt Riddle. He kind of reminds me of a male stripper. I’ve watched him come down and boy, those women’s eyes are glued in on him. He’s like half naked as he’s going to the ring. He has a great body, he looks great, and he looks the part.”
In a separate interview, Long comments on the backstage moral since WWE’s regime changes. Click here to find out what the Hall of Famer said.
