Teddy Long says his favorite job with WWE was being the SmackDown General Manager.
Long held the position, with some breaks, from 2004-2012. He was famous for the role to such an extent that to this day he continues to be meme’d, making tag matches and people go one on one with The Undertaker.
Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Long was asked to name the favorite job he has had throughout his career. He answered by naming his run as the general manager of SmackDown, though he stated that he enjoyed everything he did.
“The favorite job I really had was being general manager of SmackDown. That was a big opportunity for me, and I just wanted to be able to show Vince McMahon that I could pull that off, that I could be the guy, and he gave me the opportunity, and that’s what I did. So being the general manager of SmackDown I think was one of the greatest jobs I had. But managing guys, Ron Simmons, Butch Reed, Rodney Mack, Mark Henry, different guys I’ve managed all my career, man, Ice Train, I had a great time with everybody, man. I enjoyed everything I did,”
