As you’ll likely know, WWE Network recently added a “WWE Hall of Fame: Class of 2017” collection. This playlist can best be described as a “work in progress”, with more videos (or ‘episodes’ as WWE.com has taken to calling them) whenever a new inductee is announced. With Teddy Long being the latest to get the nod, it was just a matter of what would be plucked from this legendary character’s career, with only a small handful of videos per inductee.
Well, WWE Network News can now exclusively reveal that 3 videos plus a brief profile piece will be added to the Network tomorrow, Friday, Februar 17. All 3 are segments as opposed to matches and are from Teddy Long’s WWE tenure and two of which being from his time as Smackdown General Manager. Here is a full listing of the videos set to be added, with descriptions included:
A Stunning Display of Power
RAW 01/05/2004 – While filling in for Eric Bischoff as General Manager of RAW, Theodore Long gets on the wrong side of Stone Cold Steve Austin.Buckle Up, Teddy
SmackDown 09/18/2009 – Theodore Long finds himself at the mercy of The Undertaker, as he receives a chauffeured journey on the highway to hell.Who’s the Boss?
SmackDown 07/09/2010 – In his role as General Manager of SmackDown, Theodore Long forces Drew McIntyre to beg for his job back.
This meager selection is sure to irritate some, when you consider the longevity of Theodore Long’s career and the potential gems that could have been unearthed if you include his time as a manager (or referee if you really want to stretch things). What are your thoughts? Do you find these 3 videos acceptable? Is there something you think would have been good to see? Let us know in the comments section!
