Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long Appreciation Thread

[The Naitch]

With all the focus usually being on RAW, and how RAW was always the show with the heel authority figure with the babyface champion, I think people tend to forget about Teddy Long.

Thing is I love about Teddy Long is he kinda just low profile on SD! usually being in the back, LAYING IN THE CUT. The show never really revolves around him, it's always about the wrestlers. He is never the focal point.

(also can someone explain to me what exactly does a Smackdown Consultant do? What was Vicky's job exactly? Was she like an Assistant General Manager or something?)

Plus he's the babyface authority figure up against the heel stable now with The Corre.

I like this dynamic better than RAW

I never really noticed this up until last week's episode of Smackdown!

what? I come back here after 3 hours and TPWW shows no love for Teddy Long?

:(

I always thought he was one of the most likable characters in WWE.

[Londoner]

He deserves some respect, never liked him as a ref but he's done well as the Smackdown GM.

[BizarroKing]

Always dug him for some reason he seems like a genuine nice guy. I hope those rumors about possibly inducting him into this year's HOF is true.

Also, do we have to put up with more Vickie now?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He deserves our sympathy after being raped by Tarver.

[The Naitch]

lol

I think Teddy Long is mad boring, he has played the same character for ages and hes always for the faces and does annoying things to punish the bad guys. I think he is too biased 2 the faces and plus he is a boring character there is never any controversy with long.

Vickie is 5,00000,0000x better as GM.

[The Naitch]

but wait, wasn't Bischoff always biased towards the heels? Always trying to keep Cena down?

SD! was just the opposite spin on that.

[TheAdamEvansFan]
