So I read the Smackdown roundup on wwe.com for last week's show and they mention Theodore Long as the Assistant General Manager. When did that happen? Does that mean Vickie is no longer the Acting General Manager, but instead the official GM? I don't watch Smackdown, so how was this addressed?

It wasn't addressed. When Edge mentioned it, that was the first I heard and it wasn't explained.

Teddy Long left, so Vickie took his place.
Makes perfect sense to me.

They did explain it on SmackDown. It was at the top of the show. This is the proof from PW Torch.
"Assistant General Manager Teddy Long walked out. Cole said he had been named Assistant G.M. while Vickie was out injured. (Neither Cole nor Long talked about his heart condition or his missing fiance, Krystal.) Long said he was happy to make the announcement at Raw for the main event at Armageddon - a triple threat match featuring Edge vs. Undertaker vs. Batista."
I think it was Undertaker getting involved in the Batista vs. Edge match the week prior that Teddy felt "in his best interest" to add Taker to the show. (Since Vickie gave Edge a World title match for interfering in the Hell In A Cell match between Batista & Undertaker; Teddy did her one better.)
Because, as we all know, if you cross Teddy Long, you'll end up in a match wit'..."da Un-da-tay-kaaaaaa!"

Well then.. Teddy Long should have recovered sooner!
This is REALLY hard to defend.

But in the WWE, if you don't have the magic decoder ring, you are LOST. I don't have that ring. |
