Teddy Long basically hired Undertaker as his personal hitman lol 😂😂😂

[@frank-bmtz]

Yes he did 😂

When your neighbor owes you money. *GONG!*

[@McD5791]

This was basically the WWE's version of "...I'm getting my big brother on to you!!"

The way he says the undertakers name hits different😂

"Where to Stephanie?"

That was my favorite episode when the undertaker had teddy long trap in that limo with him

[@basedtrell75]

With THEEE UNDERTAKERRRR!!! Lmao made it seem like a death sentence

[@kratosgow342]

Because it is he's still worked full time at the time and Teddy often booking the match against him as a punishment especially to any heel wrestlers at the time

[@randomname2308]

with de UNDATAKAAAAAAAA

[@granturismofan2751]

I always loved JBL, King Booker and Mr. Kennedy's reaction. They sold it perfectly

That era of Smackdown, 2004 - 2010, brings me very fond memories, both Undertaker and Teddy Long are a big part of it.

[@pabl0sauced0]

That's nostalgia for you. There's people here saying 08-11 was the best smackdown.

[@sandorthehoundclegane2235]

@@pabl0sauced0yikes. That was the era I grew up with but was more entertained going through the archives of past years than Smackdown during that period

The Undertaker coming out of retirement to wrestle Teddy's daughter's potential partner, lmao

That would more or less be the sentence if you broke his daughters heart

[@christopherfields9785]

Teddy caught himself when he said off script 😂

"Tonight, playa, you's gonna go whoa-un, own, whoa-un, wit da UNDATAKAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holla, holla, holla, playa!"

[@insertDk]

He doesn't say "unda". He pronounces the "er" in full.

[@shreeves2005]

That 1on1 with The Undertaker phrase was so popular it even made it to the video games. Day of Reckoning 2 on GameCube. Not necessarily the phrase but there is a scene in story mode where you talk to Teddy in the ring and outta nowhere he says drop the cell. Then you go one on one with the Undertaker inside hell in a cell😂😂😂

[@Mr_T_Badger]

I still love that game… a certain triple threat cage match with Christian and Big Show notwithstanding.

[@timtorn8591]

Lol yup, he was trying to prevent you from going to Wrestlemania. It was the match before the final match at Mania

[@DanielLarsonofficia]

When teddy was gm undertaker never had a break

[@AdamAddictL]

He probably enjoyed it 😂😂

[@Izaan2810]

Teddy Long - Commissioner Gordon The Undertaker - The Batman

[@derekgraskewicz2104]

Loved Teddy. He was so helpless physically yet had the whole locker room in check by handing out matches with The Undertaker!! XD

[@geograymon55]

That, "I was gonna do it anyway." Is why Teddy is my favorite GM.

[@GBennettFilms]

Had the great opportunity to shoot content with Teddy and Ron Simmons in Feb. Great guys. Teddy is an amazing storyteller.

[@pilot8220]

Its funny cause Teddy used to manage him before he was thr Undertaker as Mean Mark

[@ronburgundy244]

It's probably because of that history too. Teddy wanted to make sure his buddy got his airtime.

[@gamebrainjagras4193]

I ALWAYS LOVED how Teddy said “Undertaker” he emphasized every syllable and it so powerfully said. It was said perfectly

[@afkathisguy]

Everybody gangsta until Teddy Long has them go 1-on-1 with the Undertaker

[@tray2cold]

teddy’s a true legend of the business man

[@zeospark9715]

It's even funnier when you remember WWE a few years ago uploaded a complimation of Teddy Long sicking 'Taker on people lol

[@aztekcolours5468]

Its still a crime taker didn't mention him in his hall of fame speech.

[@watersandblue6001]

he didn't even mentioned foley

[@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer]

Teddy gave us WWE memes before memes became pervasive everywhere.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I remember Teddy from way back in his days as a manager in WCW. I think he was managing Ron Simmons back then. But then I didn't see him on TV for such a long time, so it was kinda wild to flash forward and see him become such a staple of WWE Smackdown.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

I always loved that as well as Teddy making it sound like a death sentence, the inevitable heel woud sell it like they were receiving a death sentence themselves. NOBODY wanted to face the Undertaker during that era of Smackdown, they'd do anything to get out of it.

[@bestintheworld568]

“Now, Playa…you will go…1 on 1…WIT DA UNDAH-TAKAH!!!”

[@305Solo]

Son: “Hey dad, I got B+ on my test today!” Teddy: “B+? Hold on playa, that’s not gonna cut it” Son: “But the teacher said that was one of the best marks in the class!” Teddy: “Well you need to work harder, starting tonight. When you go one-on-one; with the Undertakaaaa!!”

[@vonnstevens2502]

“Buckle up teddy.”

[@dr.floridamanphd]

I met Teddy Long at the first WLW show after Harley Race died. I’d been outside and had a good sweat going in the Missouri heat. Teddy was suited and booted. Getting close, putting his arm around me for pictures. I told him I was all sweaty and didn’t want to dirty up his suit. He pulled me in even tighter and said, “playa! If that’s only sweat then we’re all good! Do you know how filthy some of the boys are?” That right there sold me on how cool Teddy Long is. Awesome dude and loves meeting wrestling fans.

Undertaker was the SmackDown Final Boss during the Teddy Long GM Era

[@DC-YTC]

That was the by far the best way to book the Undertaker when he returned to the dead man gimmick, book him as the final boss. The fear JBL had in his eyes while Champion also helped, Undertaker was way ahead of everyone else because of how he was used

Don't forget all the tag team matches Teddy used to book when he wasn't booking 1 on 1 with The Undertaker matches 😂

[@palinozog658]

Teddy is the GOAT GM, because under his reign you could guarentee if anyone came to the ring to cut a promo they would be forced to have a match THAT NIGHT for wasting peoples time talking. And if a bunch of you want to argue in the ring, all of you fight each other. Doesn't matter how many of you there are or if you get along or not. TAG UP. He was the people's GM. Now wrestlers can talk for 15 mins and walk to the back, wasing everyones time.

[@markfroman738]

Yo yo it’s the MacMilitant!
