Going Ringside Ep. 64: WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long

– It’s not often a person in wrestling starts at the absolute bottom and works his way to the absolute top. That’s exactly what Teddy Long spent decades doing.

But unfortunately for the young Long, he didn’t quite understand the pre-scripted nature of pro wrestling, specifically when the wrestlers started bleeding.After a while as a referee, some wrestlers noticed Long, who was also a part-time disc jockey, had a gift for gab. He would ride from town to town with some of the wrestlers, including“I started turning the radio down in the car and started DJ’ing for them. And I just think I’m giving them some fun but they saw something else.

Eventually, years later Long was hired by World Wrestling Entertainment . He managed several wrestlers and would play into race-related wrestling angles as part of his character. He said former WWE owner Vince McMahon knew how Long had been treated in the past sometimes unfairly and utilized that as part of his character.
