I'm thinking Christian should start attempting to get rid of Long as GM.

Teddy Long has been absurdly stale for years now.

It's just not the same without the Undertaker being on Smack Down for Teddy to make surprise match announcements :/

Yeah, I agree. I like Teddy and all, but I do think they need new blood in the GM situation. Maybe the gambling thing they've been referencing could be leading to him having to lease 50% of his position to another person to pay off his debt. Yeah, there's no logic there, but hey, why not? There's needs to be some kind of tension there. Not a strictly good GM/evil GM thing, but something different.

I actually miss Teddy as a manger. He was awesome with Mark Jindrak...although no one remembers that.

I liked his as a manager of Skyscrapers and Doom in WCW and later as the manager of Rodney Mack/D-Lo Brown when he first started saying things like 'Holla Holla' and 'Dolla Dolla Bills!' and 'Hatorade,' not to mention him telling the fans to 'Back the Mack' and be 'Down with the Brown.' |

There's needs to be some kind of tension there. Not a strictly good GM/evil GM thing, but something different. I could see him asking JBL for a loan to pay off the gambling debt and have JBL coming in as co-GM as repayment, eventually buying out Teddy's job since Teddy just can't stop racking up the gambling debt... |

Oooh I like that. It would be consistent with JBL as well since he basically did the same thing to HBK. |

If I could tally up all the various wrestlers/managers/divas/etc... who have tried to eliminate Teddy only for him to go over each time, he's have a streak comparable to the Undertaker.

Teddy Long has been in power since 2004, with a few breaks here and there.
That 7-8 years. Has there ever been a wrestling authority figure to consistently last that long?

btw, why isn't Tunney in the HoF yet? Did they just neglect him or was there some kind of conflict I haven't read about?

Like Tunney accidentally wearing a suit color Vince didn't like on his last day at work, resulting in him being banned from being mentioned in any capacity in the WWE for all time. |

That made me laugh. I guess it might eventually be done, but they're just not in a hurry. He's already dead, he's not going to get any fresher. |
