Ever wonder what really happens behind the curtain in professional wrestling? WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long pulls back the veil in this captivating episode of Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours, sharing stories that only a true industry veteran could tell.
The conversation kicks off with breaking news about Mick Foley's recent car accident - a crash so severe that looking at the wreckage, you'd assume the worst. Yet somehow, the Hardcore Legend walked away with minor injuries, proving once again why he earned his infamous moniker. Long and host Mac Davis marvel at Foley's resilience, a testament to a career built on surviving the impossible.
Long shares priceless memories of managing legendary tag teams like Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed), including the hilarious origin story of Simmons' iconic "Damn!" catchphrase - born when Long accidentally left him standing in the snow during a road trip. These authentic moments of camaraderie and chaos showcase the human side of wrestling rarely seen by fans.
Perhaps most fascinating is Long's perspective on how wrestling has evolved - particularly lamenting the disappearance of managers who once played crucial roles in getting talent over. "When I was managing, I had more heat than the guys," Long reveals, pinpointing what many believe is missing from today's product. His Mount Rushmore of wrestling managers (Gary Hart, Skandar Akbar, Bobby Heenan, and Lou Albano) serves as a reminder of how these personalities once shaped the industry.
Whether you're a longtime wrestling fan or new to the squared circle, these insider stories provide a rare glimpse into wrestling history from someone who truly lived it. Subscribe now and join us next Thursday for another episode packed with more unfiltered wrestling tales from the road!
