TEDDY LONG ON R-TRUTH'S RELEASE | WRESTLIN TIME MACHINE

The wrestling world is experiencing seismic shifts as corporate interests reshape the landscape that fans and performers have long known. Mac Davis and Teddy Long dive deep into these changes, offering perspectives that only industry veterans can provide.The conversation begins with Ric Flair's latest controversy, where he dismissed Jim Ross's cancer announcement as "attention seeking" before boasting about making "$3 million at age 76" while dismissing critics who weren't "famous." Teddy doesn't mince words in his assessment of Flair's behavior, expressing disappointment in how the once-respected legend now presents himself.As TKO tightens its grip on WWE operations, reports suggest they're reconsidering Roman Reigns' lucrative contract despite his status as the company's top star. This exemplifies the new business-focused approach that's transforming WWE under corporate ownership. Both hosts draw parallels to WCW's demise, warning that when corporations focus solely on financials without understanding wrestling's unique appeal, the product inevitably suffers.The recent release of R-Truth sparked particularly passionate discussion. Despite being one of WWE's most beloved characters, Truth was let go in what seems like a purely business decision. Teddy reveals a conversation with Truth where he expressed feeling "free" after his release. The hosts explore exciting possibilities for Truth's future, including creative storylines involving "Little Jimmy" that could revitalize his career outside WWE's constraints.Production quality also comes under scrutiny as the hosts compare today's WWE programming to the Attitude Era. They point to a recent Naomi-Bianca Belair segment that mentioned visiting a childhood home without showing any footage – a missed opportunity that highlights how the current product lacks the creative flourishes that once made wrestling compelling viewing.Join us each week for unfiltered insights into professional wrestling from those who've lived it. And if you're in Florida, come meet us at River City Wrestling Con in St. Augustine this weekend!Send us a text

Before he was the Dead Man, he was the Mean Man! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take the time-traveling hearse all the way back to early 1990 for part one of a deep dive on a prequel chapter to The Undertaker's career - his singles run in WCW as Mean Mark. Taker has often downplayed this run in interviews and talked about how there were never any plans for him down south - but was that really the case? After The New Skyscrapers collapsed, Mean Mark had a moment to shine as a singles star and we're diving deep in into his first couple of months of squash matches. It all culminated in Mark Calaway's first ever PPV singles match against Johnny Ace! Along the way to that match we cover all the absurdities of early 90s WCW including some horribly racist and drunken commentary, the Return Of Robocop, the power of the Heart Punch, Teddy Long never being able to find the camera, forgotten sponsors like Western Union and Castrol GTX, the Slam-O-Meter, the definition of "Gunkel-ing", and some big matches against the likes of Road Warrior Animal and Tommy Wildfire Rich! All that plus another loaded month of Undertaker Sightings including his big win on "L.F.G.", his appearance on "Stephanie's Places", NXT cameos, and more. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!    Check out all of the Mean Mark matches discussed here on our YouTube Playlist!    Pick up our new P.S.K. Motorcycle Patch Logo merch over TeePublic.com and celebrate 25 years of the Biker Taker with us!    Listen to "Reconstruction", the new full length album from Travis White!

The wrestling business is built on loyalty – until it isn't. When news broke that John Laurinaitis had been removed from Janelle Grant's lawsuit and was now cooperating against WWE and Vince McMahon, wrestling legend Teddy Long didn't mince words, calling him a "coward" who turned on the man who made him somebody.Drawing from his personal experiences with Laurinaitis, Teddy reveals how power was abused behind the scenes, stating bluntly, "I was there and I was one of the guys that he abused." This raw honesty sets the tone for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on wrestling's power dynamics when legal troubles arise.The rumors of Vince McMahon potentially buying WWE back sparked lively speculation, with Teddy offering surprising insight: "If it was me, I wouldn't want WWE back. I would buy and get my own company with a new brand, new name and start fresh." Calling McMahon "a genius" who "doesn't go down without a fight," Teddy predicts we haven't seen the last of wrestling's most controversial figure.We tackle the question many fans are asking: is there too much wrestling content today? With WWE, AEW, TNA, and ROH all competing for viewership, Teddy believes we've reached oversaturation. He ranks the current companies from best to worst, offering candid assessments that might surprise you. The conversation reveals concerns about whether there's enough elite talent to sustain quality programming across all these promotions.Throughout this episode, Teddy shares unforgettable stories from his decades in the business, including a hilarious travel mishap with Jacqueline that led to relentless ribbing from JBL and Ron Simmons. His name association game provides genuine reactions to wrestling personalities from Big Boss Man to Jim Cornette, giving listeners authentic glimpses into wrestling's colorful backstage world.Join us at River City Wrestling Con in St. Augustine, Florida on June 7-8, where Teddy will be doing a special Q&A panel with Mike Chioda.

Wrestling history comes alive as SICW Fan Fest 3 takes center stage in this captivating conversation with special guest Nick Rittenhouse, a 35-year veteran promoter from St. Louis. Joining WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and host Mac Davis, Nick unveils exciting details about this year's expanded two-day celebration of wrestling heritage on May 16-17 at the Airport Hilton Hotel in St. Louis.The spotlight shines brightest on Teddy Long himself, who'll receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award during the weekend's festivities. This honor comes alongside the induction of wrestling legends Ox Baker, Greg Valentine, Crusher Blackwell, Butch Reed, and Ivan Koloff into the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame. The star-studded lineup of attendees features iconic names like Kevin Von Erich (who Nick reveals was born just across the river in Belleville, Illinois), Nikita Koloff, Buff Bagwell, and Missy Hyatt.Nick treats listeners to a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from 1987 when Mr. Fuji and Kim Duk abandoned their luggage in the street to chase down local kids who pelted them with rock-filled snowballs. This glimpse into wrestling's colorful past perfectly sets the stage for what Fan Fest promises – authentic old-school wrestling that, as Nick puts it, "you don't get anywhere hardly anymore."The episode wraps with Teddy answering fan questions, sharing stories about cherished wrestling memorabilia, and participating in a name association game that reveals personal connections with wrestling personalities from Tajiri to Paul Heyman.

These are some stories guaranteed to get longtime wrestling fans talking.

Ever wondered what really happens behind the wrestling curtain? Wrestling legend Teddy Long doesn't hold back in this candid, revealing conversation that tackles everything from industry drama to personal preferences.The episode kicks off with shocking revelations about Linda Hogan's emotional public breakdown, where she disclosed an eight-year estrangement from her daughter Brooke and called her ex-husband Hulk "a complete liar and sex addict." Teddy offers his unfiltered take on bringing personal family issues into the public eye, setting the tone for an honest conversation about wrestling's reality.Things get particularly fascinating when Teddy shares stories about backstage pranks or "ribs" that crossed the line from funny to downright malicious. From Roddy Piper soaking someone's gear to prevent them from performing to a particularly nasty prank intended for Mark Henry that could have ended badly, these tales illuminate the sometimes toxic environment wrestlers navigated. As Teddy poignantly states, "In this business, you have no friends" – a sobering glimpse into the wrestling world's harsh realities.The conversation shifts to wrestling history with reflections on WCW's final days and why the subsequent "Invasion" angle fell short of expectations. Teddy provides unique insider perspective on current industry developments including Saraya's AEW departure and the evolution of tag team wrestling. Between these substantial discussions, lighthearted moments emerge – from shared Krispy Kreme donut obsessions to Teddy's hilariously direct answer about what he looks for in women ("big booty").Submit your questions during our live Thursday broadcasts at 7pm for a chance to win exclusive merchandise and join the conversation with one of wrestling's most candid voices.

Teddy Long invites us into the unfiltered world of professional wrestling, bringing decades of ringside experience to a conversation that spans from Hall of Fame revelations to backstage brawls that never made it to television.The wrestling legend shares his genuine excitement about Lex Luger's upcoming WWE Hall of Fame induction, offering a refreshingly positive perspective from their years working together. "I never had not one problem out of Luger. He was always nice to me," Teddy reveals, providing contrast to Luger's own admissions about his difficult past.When our discussion shifts to current WWE storylines, particularly the John Cena heel turn and WrestleMania buildup, Teddy defends WWE's methodical approach: "They turned him heel. Now you got suspense. People are wondering now what's next." His old-school perspective on patient storytelling stands as a thoughtful counterpoint to today's faster-paced entertainment expectations.The most riveting moments come when Teddy pulls back the curtain on genuine locker room altercations, recounting how Road Warrior Hawk and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams once locked themselves in a room to settle their differences physically – a stark reminder of wrestling's rougher past when disputes were handled differently than today's corporate environment.Whether you're fascinated by wrestling history, curious about today's product, or simply enjoy unfiltered conversations with legendary personalities, this candid discussion with Teddy Long delivers authentic insights that only someone who lived through wrestling's most transformative eras could provide. Join us for stories you won't hear anywhere else, told with the straightforward honesty that has made Teddy a beloved figure in professional wrestling.Send us a text

Teddy Long takes off the filter and delivers unfiltered wrestling insights in this candid conversation about the changing landscape of professional wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer weighs in on recent controversies including Pat McAfee receiving death threats after standing up for the American national anthem at WWE Elimination Chamber in Canada. Teddy discusses how modern sensitivities have altered wrestling storytelling, recalling how financially successful the Sergeant Slaughter and Iron Sheik rivalry was because "it was real" during an actual international conflict.The conversation takes an interesting turn as Teddy shares behind-the-scenes perspectives on WWE's puzzling censorship on Netflix despite the streaming platform's reputation for explicit content. He offers a fascinating glimpse into the significant business differences he discovered when transitioning from WCW to WWE, noting that Vince McMahon personally wrote many of his iconic storylines including the Vickie Guerrero angle and the "White Boy Challenge."Perhaps most moving is Teddy's matter-of-fact recollection of learning about Eddie Guerrero's death while at a TV taping in Minneapolis, demonstrating the wrestling industry's resilient "show must go on" philosophy that McMahon instilled in his performers. Teddy also shares stories from wrestling's pre-cell phone era, refereeing the classic Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat match, and offers his thoughts on current storylines including Rhea Ripley's WrestleMania status and John Cena's heel turn. Whether you're a longtime wrestling fan or new to the industry, this episode delivers rarely-heard perspectives from one of wrestling's most beloved personalities.

We're covering The Undertaker's earliest days as a tag team specialist and his debut for a major wrestling company on an all new Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take the time-traveling hearse back to WCW in early 1990 and Mean Mark Callous's short-lived run as part of The New Skyscrapers alongside Dangerous Danny Spivey. It's a brief run of less than 10 televised matches, but it's an incredibly important and formative run in Taker's career including the origins of his relationship with ol' Peanuthead himself Teddy Long and his first exposure to his future finishing move. We're breaking down every one of those televised matches against some of the most ridiculous jobbers you've ever seen and culminating with a couple of wild brawls with the greatest tag team of all tiz-iiiiime, The Road Warriors! Along the way we lose our minds laughing at the likes of Zan Panzer, The Galaxians, Agent Steele, ridiculous commentary from Kevin Sullivan and Terry Funk, incredible haiku poetry from Hawk, Gordon Solie's resemblance to Harry Caray, Dan Spivey's college football credentials and JR's obsession with them, The Flying Wallendas, the brotherhood of the traveling mask, deadly elementary school chairs, Thomas Dewey, 10 items or less lines, the Wild Thing Rap, and the embarrassment that was The Masked Skyscraper.    All that and we've got another month's worth of Undertaker sightings to discuss including a big interview on Busted Open and some highlights from Six Feet Under. Plus Alex shares about his experience watching Smackdown live from a suite and meeting up with a Pod Street Krew member in real life! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!    Show your P.S.K.

Teddy Long is a WWE Hall of Famer known for his tenure as Smackdown and ECW General Manager and as a referee in WWE. Big thank you to Chris Hughes from Appalachian Championship Wrestling for helping to make this interview happen! Teddy sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Indianapolis, IN to talk about this legendary career as a WWE personality, his role as the Smackdown GM, his iconic lines like "One on one with The Undertaker", "Lemme holla at ya, playa" and being part of the "Buckle up Teddy" segment. He discusses how becoming friends with James Brown led to him working in wrestling, how he got hired by WWE, working as a referee before becoming an on-air personality, his dance moves, being chased by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin on an ATV and much more!
