Does he have any backstage jobs? I remember being surprised to see him on TV again as a referee years ago, and thinking they were under-utilizing him by not bringing him back as a manager. Then they made him a manager and I thought that was great. I think he was a breath of fresh air as a babyface GM, since they've beatne to death, resurrected, and beaten back to death the "evil authority figure" role ever since Eric Bischoff was announced as the leader of the nWo. (people seem to forget he was a heel before Vince was.)
Anyway, back to my question. I know that Eric Bischoff was brought into WWE to play a role on TV as the GM of Raw, but he had no stroke or power backstage. Is the same to be said for Teddy Long? He's diverse enough to be face or heel, and if they wanted to they could even make him a referee again. I'm just wondering if he has any other job in WWE besides as an on-screen performer?

It doesn't look like they've come to terms with his release yet, but God only knows what the guy is doing. Licking envelopes maybe.
He was OK in a short stint as a commentator in WCW. You could do worse than "Holla at ya, playa" Teddy on babyface color.

He was entertaining as the heel mouthpiece for D-Lo Brown, Mark Henry, and Rodney Mac.

Unless I am mistaken and my memory serves me correct Teddy Long was a referee back in the old NWA.

I don't remember him getting into managing until WCW came around. I seem to remember him reffing in the NWA Mid Atlantic days. |

I seem to remember him reffing in the NWA Mid Atlantic days. He started managing around the time Turner bought them but, I am going on stories from guys like Taker and Ron Simmons where he would legitimately forget finishes or to count pins (sometimes counting them too soon) leading to the evil ref stuff that he got that turned into managing people. |

"No, Teddy, I will not go one on one with the Mexican who does your lawn............................wait, is it El Dandy?............no. Well, stop then Teddy. Seriously, you've gotta stop doing that." |
