I met Teddy Long after a house show in my hometown. Teddy came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. He stated, “What’s up playa?” I’ll never forget that. 💯
Teddy really selling himself like that shows he a true playa. Wether he a Manager or Ref he got that X-Factor. I can imagine him as a ref saying "You outta here Playa!" "Go back behind the curtain Playa!"
Teddy reminds me of an old school black man from the south. From the lingo to the suits he reminds me of the cool uncle or grandfather. Makes sense though cause he’s from Alabama.
Yeah if they were up in the 70s mid 80s. Most of the old heads now will definitely talk with that type slang. I remember in the 90s old heads calling people a turkey.
bro i don't even watch WWE when he was around, i know him from playing smackdown vs raw, even, he's one of the best gm of all time in my book, he's entertaining as heck
I’ll never forget, I was at an ROH event in Atlanta little north of Duluth GA, randomly I see a dude driving a 1940’s custom truck that was rebuilt and it was Teddy Long. One of the ROH wrestlers came out to grab something from Teddy. People standing in line were like “hey Teddy, come out can we get a picture?” He goes “another day playa, I got places to be.”
Teddy cracked me up when he came back recently to announce something he came out and was about to do the dance but before he tried to ball up his fists ge cracked them cuz of how old he is now it was a small detail but it was hilarious to me
When he was a ref in JCP/NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS (pre WCW days) he made that quick count and screwed the Road Warriors. The Varsity Club won the NWA Tag Belts.😡
This album has been looked in a very different with time people were nlt loving it becuase the first time not everybody was ready to hear things that they can relay and be open to feel things and think even though he is multi millionare he is expressing feelings and talking about situations that almost anyone can be themselves in at some point He let us see that he is also human and give us the time to empathize
Like Teddy long but we all know he didn't invent Playa, alotta of old school black men say that long before he said it on a wrestling program, "let me holler at you playa",
When he said I got that from my dog I was expecting a story about one of his mates, not his actual dog hahahaha, big up boss
LMAO fr like his big homie or something 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Teddy was loyle to his capo
His dog was his dawg, playa.
"I'm not a character... I'm Teddy Long 24/7"
Teddy is a real life character. That's what makes him so entertaining.
Does teddy dance.
Usually all the greats just play an amped up version of their real selves
If Boss doesn't move Playa.... He will go one on one with The Undertaka!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment!!! 👍
I think you meant in a tag team match against the undertaka
😭😭😭😭😭😭
You know it's coming when he was about to announce the Undertaker and it was still the greatest thing ever lol
lol when he said he got it from his dog I thought he meant his homeboy
Swear I did, too. The lab was an immaculate plot twist. 😂
Crazy how he went from ref to interviewer and then manager TWICE
Madness and he great at all of them😂😂
Every man’s dream is to be called a playa by Teddy Long
And told that we're going one on one with The Undertaker!
@@sneakyserpent95 that is a nightmare😂😂

Theodore Rufus long…..absolute legend.
One of the Best smackdown GM’s Of all time teddy long
RIP Boss and also Teddy killing it with the facial hair now
Bro, have you ever talked to any old head before? They all speak that way.
Yeah if they were up in the 70s mid 80s. Most of the old heads now will definitely talk with that type slang. I remember in the 90s old heads calling people a turkey.
@@koDaffi
What part of the country is that? I'm rapidly approaching 70 and from the Midwest. Never heard it.
Mr. Long..
Thank you for making my childhood great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Godbless TEDDY LONG FOREVER!!!! Protect him at all cost 😩
My favorite GM of all time
He got that dawg in him!!
This is why he never seemed like a caricature of someone else. He was just himself and having fun while doing it.
Teddy the best
Well now my day is 100x better thanks to imagining Teddy Long calling his dog “Playa”
Love teddy long I even remember when he was on smackdown vs Raw 2006 and 07
Teddy long made the early 2000s on Smackdown legendary.
Whenever he was on screen you just knew He was going to crawl up someone's skin 😆
There's a reason why Teddy Long was the best SmackDown! GM of all time. We miss you playa! 😊✊🏾
Hell yea old skool ❤
bro i don't even watch WWE when he was around, i know him from playing smackdown vs raw, even, he's one of the best gm of all time in my book, he's entertaining as heck
Tedddy long was the best
These interviews are something I cherish but also get sad from because I miss watching it with my family 😭 thank y'all so much tho 🙏🏽
Underrated af
Hold on just a second playa
Haha teddy is great guy
I love that. It works for the character as he has to treat the roster like his dogs and he is their owner
The goat
What do you say sucka? Who you calling sucka, playa! C'on fellas, let have a drinks.
“Holla Holla Holla Playa” 🙏🫡💪🔥🔥🔥💯
I can confirm he really is like that in real life lol cool ass dude in person
Everyone who watched Teddy Long as the Smackdown GM would love to be called a Playa by the legend
🐐ty u for the mems over the yrs😂
Love teddy long
Teddy talking to Boss:
“Playa, move or you gonna take it one on one with THE UNDERTAKER”
*The real final Boss*
I love this guy!
I’ve always thought he acted like that even off camera, I’m happy I was right 😂. My favorite GM
Old school that’s it lol
I’ll never forget, I was at an ROH event in Atlanta little north of Duluth GA, randomly I see a dude driving a 1940’s custom truck that was rebuilt and it was Teddy Long. One of the ROH wrestlers came out to grab something from
Teddy.
People standing in line were like “hey Teddy, come out can we get a picture?” He goes “another day playa, I got places to be.”
Teddy was the best GM ever
would love to see Teddy Long come back as GM of smackdown
Teddy cracked me up when he came back recently to announce something he came out and was about to do the dance but before he tried to ball up his fists ge cracked them cuz of how old he is now it was a small detail but it was hilarious to me
He did a good job in SmackDown.
What a legend
Nick and Adam are both great, but Teddy will always be the best GM. I was so sad when he stopped.
This makes me like him even more Now.
Love Teddy should’ve chose him in My GM
Sadly, the Golden Retriever in question has since passed. He did not survive his one on one WITH THE UNDERTAKER
Nobody will replace Teddy Long as the best Smackdown GM. He was my childhood. Him, Eric Bischoff, Paul Heyman, and Jonathan Coachman GOATs 🙌🙌🙌
Buckle up Teddy!!
Best GM of all time, Playa
Teddy Long has just entered my top 10 list for people I'd like to have a beer with.
Teddy truly is a national treasure
Legend!
I love Teddy Long as a GM🐐
Holla, holla holla!!!
So basically Teddy habits talking to his dog is carried over into his work huh
I have a 9 year old yellow lab!!! The most loyalist dog ever. Fucking love Brewin.
Teddy is the real deal, playa. I wanna see some 2000 smack down now when he was in charge.
When he said dog, I thought he meant dawg. 😂
It's true he's also one of the coolest people to ever meet along with Bret Hart
Bro needa return
And go to Raw
that's actually a wholesome story lol
Still waiting for Teddy long to be on the broken skull sessions
Smackdown was at its peak when he was GM
best GM ever
does that mean... Teddy has an actual obsession with, THE UNDERTAKER!!!!
Dean was so cool i swear ❤
🐐
Playa looks like Flava 4 ya 😆😆😆
I’m just now imagining someone pissing off Teddy IRL and him telling them that they’re gonna go “ONE ON ONE WIT DA UNDATAKA!”
But he's dressed like a pimp 24/7 playa
*ONE ON ONE WITH THE UNDERTAKER* 😂!!
Teddy long reminds me of slick the doctor of style
He not doin any gimmick!? 😱
I call my dog playboy when he’s in the way lol
In the main event it’s going to be Boss going one on one with the Undertaker playa
When he said Dog, I thought he was referring to Snoop Dogg for a split second lol 😅😅
it REALLY sounds like he is saying balls
Teddy Long Twenty foe selm
"I got that from my dog"
I thought we were gonna hear some old story from the streets of Alabama 😂
Playa
JBL telling Teddy that he doesn't speak ebonics is wild
1 on 1 with da undertaker holla holla
When he was a ref in JCP/NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS (pre WCW days) he made that quick count and screwed the Road Warriors. The Varsity Club won the NWA Tag Belts.😡
🐐🐐🐐🐐
😂😂😂😂 playa
Now why he reminds me mahatma gandi😂😂
I don’t know, he looks just like a black Walter White! 😂
Imo hom and paige were the best GM's
This album has been looked in a very different with time people were nlt loving it becuase the first time not everybody was ready to hear things that they can relay and be open to feel things and think even though he is multi millionare he is expressing feelings and talking about situations that almost anyone can be themselves in at some point He let us see that he is also human and give us the time to empathize
Player
Like Teddy long but we all know he didn't invent Playa, alotta of old school black men say that long before he said it on a wrestling program, "let me holler at you playa",
Twenty fo semn
Teddy Long is just like Vince McMahon! Read that again
