In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long discussed several topics, including his infamous line of making people go one-on-one with The Undertaker during his time as General Manager.

“I’ll tell you how I put so much emphasis on that. One night, we were in Madison Square Garden, Stephanie went out and she introduced somebody, she came back and Vince was talking to her, he said Stephanie, I want to put emphasis on that when you introduce the guy. I was just standing back, so next time I did Undertaker, I said one-on-one with The Undertaker, that’s how I learned to do that.

When they caught on to it, and saw that it was catchy, people liked it then, they always wrote it, and they put it in there. I’m going to do it anyway, not that I’m going off, not doing what I’m supposed to do, but I know Vince didn’t mind, Vince gave me free rein to say what I wanted to say, but he knew I was going to say nothing that would get the company in trouble. They’d write stuff, I’d just add my stuff to it.”
