Alright, folks, let me tell you about this whole Teddy Long thing and what I’ve been digging into. So, I was messing around online, as I usually do, and I stumbled upon some stuff about Teddy Long. You know, the former SmackDown General Manager and a WWE Hall of Famer.
First thing I did was check out some podcasts. There’s this one, “Six Feet Under,” hosted by Mark The Undertaker Calaway. I gave it a listen, and there were a few mentions of Teddy. Another one I found was “WrestleBinge.” Teddy was on there too, talking about some wild stuff, I gotta say. It was pretty cool to hear these behind-the-scenes stories straight from the guy himself.
Then, I went on a little deep dive into Teddy’s history. Turns out, this guy was a referee back in the day, even at the Over The Edge 1999 PPV. That’s some old-school stuff right there! He was just going by “Teddy Long” back then. Wild, right?
After that, I started looking into what he’s been up to lately. From 2021, he’s been the commissioner for some independent wrestling promotions, Main Event Wrestling and Independent Wrestling Network. Keeping busy, I see. I tried to watch some of these matches, just to see Teddy in action again. It’s different from the WWE stuff, but still pretty entertaining.
- Checked out podcasts like “Six Feet Under” and “WrestleBinge.”
- Dug into Teddy Long’s history as a referee.
- Found out he’s a commissioner for some independent promotions now.
Then there’s this whole thing with Endeavor and TKO. Endeavor, that big talent agency, they spun off UFC and merged it with WWE to form TKO Group Holdings in 2023. So, technically, they’re the ones pulling the strings at WWE now. I spent some time trying to understand this whole corporate structure. It’s a bit confusing, but basically, Endeavor is the big boss now.
Oh, and I also looked into this Cody Rhodes guy. Seems like he’s a big deal in WWE these days, the top dog. I watched a few of his matches, and yeah, I can see why people are hyped about him. He’s definitely got that star power.
So, that’s pretty much my journey into the world of Teddy Long and the current state of WWE. It all started with some casual browsing, then listening to podcasts, doing some historical research, and trying to make sense of the business side of things. A lot of rabbit holes, but hey, that’s what makes it interesting, right? I just dove in, followed the trails, and ended up learning a whole bunch of stuff I didn’t know before. I didn’t even follow any links, I just looked everything up myself.
The Takeaway
Man, this whole thing just shows how much there is to learn about the wrestling world. It’s not just about what you see on TV, there’s so much history and behind-the-scenes stuff that’s just as fascinating. And these podcasts, they’re goldmines of information. I’m definitely going to keep digging and see what else I can uncover. Stay tuned, folks, there’s probably more to come!
