Teddy Long: Uncut
Smackdown is a taped show, so is there any particular reason they don't edit out the painfully long pauses in Teddy Long's speech pattern?
This becomes especially annoying when he's making incredibly predictable and cliched announcements (which make up 98% of his mic time). If a six person brawl breaks out, with sides made up of Randy Orton/Sheamus/Big Show against Christian/Cody Rhodes/Mark Henry, they really do not need to waste ten minutes announcing tonight's six-man main event tag match. EXAMPLE: ![]() "Hold on just a minute, playas." ![]() "You guys wanna fight, well tonight..." ![]() "It's gonna be..." ![]() "The World's Strongest Man..." ![]() "Mark Henry!" ![]() "Teaming with..." ![]() "Christian!" ![]() "And..." ![]() "The Intercontinental Champion..." ![]() "Cody Rhodes!" ![]() "And their opponents..." ![]() "Will be..." ![]() "The world's largest athlete..." ![]() "The Big Show!" ![]() "And his partners..." ![]() "The Celtic Warrior...." ![]() "Sheamus!" ![]() "And..." ![]() "The Viper..." ![]() "Randy Orton!" ![]() "And that match..." ![]() "Is gonna be..." ![]() "Tonight!" ![]() "Holla holla!" |

Don't forget that he looks down at his shoes for advice between every thought.

They're usually some pretty nice shoes though, if you notice.

![]() I know Teddy's been in the business for a long time, but is there no other job they could give him? Possibly not on television? |

With the time savings edits, another quick or squash match could be added to the show every week.

Haha, I have always felt this way about Teddy Long. It's unbelievable that he has been the Smackdown GM/authority figure (on-and-off) for more than 7 years. The pauses are so annoying. I use to feel the same way about Randy Orton promos.

Teddy Long is fucking awesome.
Also, I read the title "Teddy Long Un-cut" and thought this had something to do with him not being circumsized. |

Seriously, Teddy looks like the bastard child of MLK and Arsenio Hall in that shot, Mr. Calaway looks like a muppet, and Spivey looks like the poor man's Stunning Steve Austin.
