Teddy Long Talks About His Love For Tag Team Matches And More

Former SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long recently spoke to the Two man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast about his run with WWE and more. During the interview the subject of Teddy’s on screen obsession with tag team matches came up and he talked a little bit about how it all came together. You can check out the full interview here and read a few quotes below.

“I never really thought about it and there was never any thought behind it. I was told what to do, I was told we were going to turn this into a tag team match and I just started doing it on my own in giving the emphasis on “tag team match” and doing my thing. But it actually got over and is all over YouTube. Everybody wants to see me make that tag team match.”

“Whatever you are told to do is serious. It’s strictly serious with Vince, you don’t laugh or play around so whenever they said tag team match I said well I am going out there and making this the best tag team match and better than the other ones I made. That’s the way I always thought about it just being better than the last time. Stuff like that was probably discussed in a production meeting and don’t get me wrong I had been invited to some of the production meetings but that is voluntarily if you wanted to go. I didn’t really want to go to those because I didn’t really want to know what was happening.”
