Teddy Long Denies Rumor About Returning As WWE SmackDown GM, ‘They Ain’t Calling Me’
A rumor started that Teddy Long would return as the general manager of SmackDown when the show moves back to two hours in the summer.
Teddy addressed the rumor on his Road Trippin podcast.
“I have no idea. I know nothing about it. WWE has not contacted me, called me, or anything. Whoever started that, I appreciate you thinking about me, playa. I just start laughing because I know that ain’t going to happen.
“It’s not like it used to be. There ain’t no live events so I wouldn’t be on the road, just do TV. I’m at home, I sleep in my own bed almost every night. I love going out and doing the signings. I just enjoy doing those and getting on the plane and going home. I’m not one of these guys that don’t know when to take the cape off. I know when to take the cape off. I had a great run, I ain’t bitter about a thing. That ain’t gonna happen, they ain’t calling me.”
That settles that.
Long served as the general manager of SmackDown and ECW for nearly a decade beginning in 2004.
