Teddy Long's voice makes me feel like I'm listening to the radio in GTA
"I would of put that mothafucka in A TAG TEAM MATCH PLAYA!"
cracks me up
On a serious note I find it funny you are looking for originality while commenting on a pro wrestling video?
I am a big fan too but there is no originality, what will be the Wrestlemania main event?
HHH of course, never seen that before.
And I take it you won't be queuing up to see Fast and Furious 26 or Star Wars episode 15?
I am sorry but you are in the minority looking for originality in this day and age.
Teddy low key being nice wanting a job back ;)
+LaGucciVida Don't burn your bridges
exactly
+LaGucciVida idk, Teddy is always really level-headed in his interviews. He seems like a nice guy who doesn't really trash talk anybody.
I think it'll be awkward when Titus returns. Vince overreacted.
He probably wont return
The irony here is that Teddy would've been marking this whole Titus situation as racism back in 2003/2004 when he was managing all of the BLACK superstars LOL
Teddy has the best outlook on this situation. props
totally agree with you 👍
The suspension and this interview are both a work. When Titus gets back, Teddy's gonna put him in a tag team match, playa.
lmfao... just imagining him saying that cracks me up
***** Methinks you didn't catch the joke I was going for.
I gotta agree that Titus made a critical mistake in playing around with VKM on live tv but the suspension was uncalled for....Vince should of just talked to Titus like a man in the back & let him know the deal & no hard feelings but I do believe VKM wanted to flex his power & make an example out him out of spite.....so when he does come back will be doomed to jobbing for as long as he remains in WWE
Actually Teddy, Vince did want to fire Titus for this. HHH and Joey Mercury talked him down to a 90 day suspension that then turned into a 60 day suspension. Considering this fact, I do believe that racism was involved. If Vince never wanted to initially fire Titus, then I wouldn't think race would of been in the equation.
So Teddy says that it would have never happened with someone that's higher in the hierarchy. What about the Rock going off script a several weeks ago? Talking to the Hulk Hogan cosplayer? If anyone else would've done that, they would be fired immediately.
Yes, Titus did not act professionally but he didn't deserve to be punished that hardly!
+Stefan Yordanov Exactly but he is the Rock. Do you know how much money Rock has made and done for the WWE? THE Rock and TItus O'neil are no comparison. You know its a double standard. WWE needs The Rock not vice versa so i doubt highley that anything would have happened to him. The Rock went off on his Raw appearance but he was in his hometown for one night and it wasnt as if he was on the main roster wrestling again doing that every night. He knew he could get away with the Hogan stuff. What was Vince going to do, Ban him from Wrestlemania. I doubt if Rock would have given a damn. He would have just went and made another movie.
+Stefan Yordanov
Imagine, Vince suspending the Rock from the WWE. The backlash it would ensue from the fans.
Actually Vince had to be talked out of releasing him.
I agree with teddy too but he wasn't playing with Vince he was trying to tell him to let steph go first
+Jaden Veal-Bradley Still...you don't grab him by the arm and correct his mistake in front of all of his employees. I don't blame Vince for shoving, but the suspension not so much. I would of just got him in my office and chewed him out!
Idrc
Always well spoken teddy. You just nailed it. It wasn't a race issue at all. So sick of people saying that. Titus O'Neil just made poor judgment. Simple.
Abraham Washington was awesome with PTP. They're like Kobe in Colorado...... Unstoppable
+Mark Lunn LOL
Hahaha.. I'm weak as fuck
+Aaron Garnett yooo that had me rolling. I wish he hadn't gotten fired for that. wwe needs to stick up for their guys. but w/e , bad Press yadda yadda
joshua lynch yes wwe needs to support their employees. This entire situation is pure comedy
Damn, someone's on the payroll. Nice spin there Teddy. The check is in the mail.
Make an Impact they said, Go for the Brass rings they said, Step up they said, Stand out in the crowd they said, Make yourself known they said!
Agreed 100% with teddy
I agree with Teddy 100% and I wish he would come back to WWE and be a general manager for smackdown again we need a brand split in wwe again
Oh yea, I forgot that yall will say that The Rock was technically the first black champion but was always labeled as just Samoan in his career.
THANK YOU! Even the rock knows not to refer to his black heritage too much. The rock always classifies himself as Samoan.....fuck Dwayne Johnson.
Dreyhunter16 Exactly
stone cold Steve Austin always play with Vince and he didn't get suspended
good interview from all sides putting everything in a very good perspective that checks out. very refreshing.
TEDDY HAS A GOOD MINDSET
this is the most logical viewpoint.. i love when black people can look at the issue logically instead of just screaming race..
You must be a republican.
Teddy being logical about the situation but if he really thinks Titus deserves 60 day suspension for that act, he's still in Vinces kiss my ass club. Vince could've handled this better in so many ways.
Something to consider:
I often hear people say things like "Everyone's saying it was racist" or "The fans on twitter are saying it was because he's black": what we need to ask every time is *how many people are saying this? What percentage?*
Obviously we can only speculate but in the vast majority of cases most people are not saying it. With social media we are going to see examples of _everything_ - all the different perspectives and opinions imaginable are now out there.
We seem to be inherently awful at gauging how prominent things are and typically default to attribute whatever we saw to the entire generalised mass e.g. "Everyone was outraged" and even though we don't literally mean everyone, we still suggest that it's widespread when usually the scandalous reaction comprises about 10% of the whole group. If 9 people had a great time but 1 person sulked the entire time, you wouldn't say "Everyone sulked"
I forgot all about Abraham Washington lol, he was FIRED abruptly from the company too!
If I snatch up my boss, I'm probably gonna get shit canned!
You missed the $5,000.00 fine. Seems to me the more people are hoping to get something from the WWE in the future say Vince isn't racist, but those who have burned their bridges think differently.
He would have let Sable touch him off script..
Teddy kept it real 100%
i agree thogh we all know on live tv its something u just dont ever do period
That's real talk Teddy...I can dig it!!!
Didn't Bret hart spit in and in Vince's face??? He's in the hall of fame.. hmmm
90 days was excessive. 30 days though, probably just setting an example for the boys .
It wasn't reduced to 30 days. It was reduced to 60. That is very important, because that runs through Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania is the big payday of the year for everyone. So basically the 30 days that were taken off mean very little. It's a month of paychecks for Titus, so I suppose that has meaning to him, but the main point of the original suspension still stands: No Wrestlemania paycheck.
@2.35 LOL hyaterical. gold pure gold.
I can understand Vince wanting to send a message to the talent about being professional but 60 days and not being able to participate in Wrestlemania is still a bit harsh. It was poor judgement for sure to horseplay on RAW with the boss but I've seen the footage and horseplay is all it was. Not to mention Titus is one of the company's best goodwill ambassadors, working with young kids as well as the homeless.
Truth.
If it was a white guy Vince would not have suspended him
Teddy is my drug dealer and he robbed me
He wouldn't have reacted that way for someone else .
In my opinion this was a race issue because had that been Triple H, John Cent or Shawn Michaels no punishment would have been served and another thing WWE still has not had a full black WWE champion. Now I know a lot of yall will say well Booker T was champion. Faarooq was champion and Mark Henry was a champion but pay attentuon. They wore either the WCW world championship or the world heavyweight championship which both belts are WCW belts. They are instated in the WWE but are originally WCW belts. For Teddy Long to say that Randy Orton and John Cent would not have done that because they know better still does not answer the question to if they had did the same thing that Titus O'Neil did. Teddy Long in my opinion is just giving the politically correct answer so he can still be on good terms with Vince McMahon and the WWE.
Teddy with the absolute best and most logical take on this situation by far! He wasn't the GM on Friday nights for nothing! The most pathetic part is the majority of people who start and perpetuate this stuff are these limp-wristed, domesticated white people that have no clue what they are talking about and don't understand what racism actually is. They seem to have forgot MLK himself said people SHOULD be judged by the CONTENT of their CHARACTER, but not by the color of their skin. The fact that someone does something stupid or wrong and are punished and the first thing people go for is what color they were shows who the true racists are that base everything off of someone's skin color. Also the video ended before he asked Teddy what he would have done to Titus had he done that to him which was, "Well, next week in the main event on SmackDown you are gonna gonna go one on one with da Undertaker! Holla!"
@8.20 great line - " u come to work, u come to work... not to play" where can i listen to more o teddy??????????????????? screw stone cold this guy is the real deal.
I wish I knew if there is more to this story than what we have all seen. I understand that these are all ruff tuff people in a physical business, but every company I have ever worked for had a very low tolerance for threatening or physical contact between employees. These people put on a show in the ring but that only makes the code of conduct outside the ring even more important! In the recent years WWE has become a publicly traded company, that puts Vince answering to shareholders he did not do that 15 years ago. The whole civilized world has become super safety conscious and any type off horseplay in the work place is just off limits these days.
I agree with Teddy too. Those that disagree, go try to grab or push a CEO or President of a major company and see how quick they fire you. lol If they do keep you then they're going to make you wish they fired you. lol I think Titus is great a wrestler but it's somethings you can't do in a business setting unless you're allowed to
I wonder what Teddy is doing now. He's such a good talker and wonderful persona on Smackdown.
But I agree with Long, it has NOTHING to do with race. If Sandow or maybe even Miz did that, he would get the suspension thing too.
Teddy Jobbing nicely
Actually it's being reported that HHH had to talk Vince out of not firing him. This what you get when you run a publicly traded company. Vince can walk around on egg shells just like he makes the talent do.
+Papadoc1981
It was rumored that Triple H AND Joey Mercury had had to talk Vince out of it. See how rumors changes that fast. People are already making Hunter look like the good guy and Vince the bad guy.
What teddy should've said: Ok Lets solve this with a tag team match playa!
Bullshit. If that was The Rock , he wouldn't have suspended HIM. He maybe would have yelled at him but that's it.
Holla Holla Player! We gonna settle this Titus O'Neil issue, with a tag team match....and its up next!
with this being said, This should be addressed Live on RAW and Smackdown. This Show will hurt The Show if it isn't
The suspension was super ridiculous and really uncalled for. There are numerous reasons why Titus did it. Was it uncalled for? Yes it was, but it was not such big of a deal.... WWE created so much more heat with the suspension. Really stupid move.... Can they really effort to get good people off television? That is how WWE is celebrating black history month? Vince is certainly racist to a point.....
lol @ Teddy Long saying, "Vince ain't racist...hell I was worked there 16 years and was flattered to be on his plane one single time with him actually talking to me like a human being...I of course had nothing to say back."
buck dancin' Teddy. soft shoein for Massa
if this was a white wrestler I don't feel it would be a big problem!!!
could be tru but Teddy want his job back as the king of tag team (smckdown GM )
It was racist if john cena or triple h would have done it nothing would have happened #FACTS
Teddy, come on Teddy
Teddy needs to come back to wwe to either manage someone or be a GM and have HHH and Steph work behind the scenes
I agree with Theodore Long and come back to WWE and be the general manager again
Teddy has a point
Bottom line is Vince likes things to go according to script. He wanted to be the first person (and rightfully so he's the top dog) to send Daniel Bryant off to retirement. Titus Oneil broke script.....in a stupid way. I can see why Vince exploded.......However, I wonder if Vince would have reacted the same way had it been Cena or HHH.
Holla Holla. Teddy tells it like it is.
I push my boss all the time... I got a raise and a promotion last month
Teddy talks truth!
Butt kissing Teddy Long. Butt kissing is not going to get
you your job back.
best dad 2015 suspended...returns gets burried more
I agree with teddy
Something definitely shoud've happened to O'Neil, but 90 days was a bit much. Thank goodness his suspension was reduced. Both O'Neil and McMahon could've done better in that situation.
Teddy would put titus and vince in a tag match to settle the issues
Make a tag team match to slob the situation
People say what they want just like wwe does what they want no harm no foul
Teddy is OUT OF LINE. And it ISN'T A NORMAL JOB. and Thank GOD it DID happen on camera.
"holla playa"
I saw McMahon push Titus. Also, don't do that in public? They're all together (heels & faces) at the ramp to join someone's retirement AFTER the show. Teddy if you want your job back just ask for it but seriously stfu.
Teddy just wants his Job back
+UnChaInEd Games Lmfao
well said teddy
Teddy is trying to keep his door open.....plans for Titus my behind! The same plans for ALL the Black wrestlers.....mid-card flunky.
I could listen to Teddy talk all day. dude just knows his shit. but I do think it was harsh what they did to Titus. gripe his ass out in the back at the most
Hopefully this will blow over...but Vince does hold grudges for a long time.
hes racist too teddy long
It was just excessive he did fuck up though.
what a great guyy !!!!! love teddy !! thanks - genius to get this on tape for us. love you A++++++++++++++++ LOL fuckin funny... brutally true and honest.
Like any other job I had no horse playing on the job
What made Titus think he could play with the boss like that on live tv? I wonder if he had ever done that before? Something had to make him feel comfortable enough to grab Vince like that.
So Titus O'Neil had gone "Dwight Howard" on this situation against Vince McMahon and he gets suspension for 90 days without pay ! When Titus O'Neil comes back from the WWE, he needs to grow up and gets serious about his job!
this is a work
It was just a bad time for Titus to do something like that. They were there to pay respect to the career of Daniel Bryan and to be play fighting on the stage as Daniel Bryan walks away from the business it was just the wrong time for something like that. There is a level of hypocrisy from Vince, sure, because he's done shit on live tv as well. but Titus was still in the wrong.
If Titus is smart, when he comes back he uses this as an angle.
Vince get a senior moment that's what happen please
I've always liked listening to Teddy Long's interviews. He's a really cool dude. Just a good ol' fashioned southern black guy. He's honest and doesn't try to give politically correct answers. How dare Titus try to correct Vince on his own show? That's his boss, but he's gonna correct him in front of everyone on national television? How fucking audacious can you be? That dude is fucking paying you. You're on his time. You're just asking for punishment. How fucking naïve could you be? Never cross the boss. That's just common knowledge.
i like how people say "this would have never happen if it was Cena/Orton" and not "this would never happen if it was Rock/BookerT" just seems pretty racist to only pick the white guys when the same nothing would happen to other superstars of the same fame
so yea im mad
he had no biznis touching him... John Cena knows better
I don't think it is racist, but I do think the punishion is too harsh for the crime.
What's a punishion? 🤔🤔🤔
🤔
The Problem why many people don't agree with that decision and think the racial thing has something to do with it is that Titus just grabbed is arm, he didn't make him fall or slaped him. And I never ever heard that someone was suspended for doing something like that. And I thought Daniel Bryan retirement should not be like a funeral, more like a goodbye party. So why on earth is there no time to "play"?
Vince is completely in the wrong and Titus or anyone else whose had to deal with Vince's outlandish behavior over the years shouldn't just have to take that shit
But WWE is the only place where you can make good money...wrestling monopoly...so they have to put up with it 😡
ROH, TNA & Lucha Underground aren't great alternatives. It isn't like the Monday Night Wars or even the territories where if a promoter was on a ego trip, you could leave and go elsewhere for equal or better pay
This just shows that one guy running everything is bad for business and Vince is a wrestling tycoon running a monopoly
I AGREE WITH TEDDY 100%
teddy long aka uncle tom 😂😂😂
c'mon playa why u got let go from wwe?
