-Teddy Long opens Smackdown Raw and throws his hat into being GM of Smackdown (again). Jericho calls him an old bag of bones. Steph is here, Shane is on vacation, she tells him to leave and doesn't let his music hit :smith:

-Cesaro submits Jericho in a fun match

-Rusev beats Swagger by countout then tries the beatdown after the match. Titus chases him off.

-Cena comes out and calls out Styles for attacking him. Styles says even on his best day Cena can't beat him and he'd wrestle circles around him. Cena counters Styles has failed in most of his big main events since he came in the company. Styles says the reason he has the Club with him is because everyone who wrestles Cena gets the shovels out and is buried if they lose, the Club is there to see that doesn't happen and keep his head above ground. They head down to jump Cena Shield-style but New Day makes the save.

-Enzo & Cass/Vaudevillains is next. Enzo takes a kayfabe stinger outside and Cass goes :ssj: and gets DQed for Kicking Too Much rear end.

-ADR beats Sami Zayn with a tree of woe stomp. Perro.

-Dean/Owens is next. Dean wins with the Dirty Deeds and stupidly climbs the ladder to celebrate while known ladder-pusher Owens is still at ringside. The predictable happens.

-Charlotte is out with Dana for a promo. She gives an insincere millennial apology to her dad and let's him know he's still dead to her....professionally Before they can make plans for July 4th Becky & Nattie are out to warn Dana of the impending metaphorical dagger that's soon going to be sticking out of her back. Charlotte & Dana beat them down.

-Breezedango/Golden Truth ends in a swift No Contest. Teddy comes out to make it a TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA...but he can't since he doesn't have the authority. Well it's the thought that counts.

-Da Club/New Day is our main event for the evening. AJ Styles kills Xavier before the match with a Styles Clash on the outside making it a 3 v 2 handicap match. Styles wins with the phenomenal forearm to Kofi. Club beatdown after the match, Cena finally decides to be a good friend and, amazingly, doesn't single-handedly beat all of them Kofi & Big E get back in to even the odds and the show ends with the faces standing tall..

Sirs Not Appearing Live at this Raw. Instead there were two long promo trailers, with the Seth one skirting hilariously close to pure babyface promo because it is essentially impossible to get "I had to give up my title due to injury and worked my way back through a huge struggle to return" over as a heel arc.

Sami loses after the "you're a loser" promo. Reminds me of when he lost to Owens after "You'll never beat me" promos.

I meant, like, actually where were they? Why were the two men from the main event feud not on the show other than video packages? I know they kept saying "this is a Wrestlemania main event level match!!" Did they just want to follow the Wrestlemania build of having half the people in the main feuds never be on the show?

- Who the hell is Teddy Long? What was that all about?

- Is Titus a singles competitor now? Can he actually handle that, wrestling-wise?

- Big Cass getting DQ'd for going nuts was great.

- Just wait, Bayley is going to debut on the roster by leaping out of Dana Brooke's cleavage to save Sasha from a Charlotte pin at SummerSlam.

I still hope that happens one day. Cocky powerhouse heel Roman and a darker Usos would be a ton of fun. I want to see Cena reversing the Superman Punch into an AA. Hell, I know it might be ugly but to see Cena turn the spear into his Stunner could be freakin beautiful if it hit. Daydreaming I know.

Still glad to see Enzo and Cass doing so drat well with crowds around the USA. Did not see them rolling so hard with an Oklahoma crowd. I hope they keep those two buddies even after they move Cass on to singles.

Cena and AJ were pure gold. I want to believe AJ has a chance and this won't be Wyatts 2.0. I will believe

Teddy is a manager turned ref turned manager turned long rear end time Smackdown GM. Most of his contributions as the latter consisted of turning an impromptu brawl into a tag match, or making an insolent heel fight the Undertaker.
Like, turning a brawl into a tag match is a very common thing but it somehow became his thing.

-I don't know if you're serious or not, but he was a GM for Smackdown famous for being a goof who basically always turned everything into tag matches. Also he once dated former Diva Aksana and then Cesaro did a thing to him that is now word-filtered.

-Titus cannot handle that, no.

In this context all you really need to know is that he was GM of Smackdown for most of the brand split. He's most known for coming out at the end of opening promos and turning all the wrestlers yelling at each other into "a tag match, playa!" or announcing mid and lower card heels bitching are going to have a match right now or later tonight "against the UnderTAKER playa!".

also the time he was in 'takers weed limo and the time cesaro took his girlfriend

RacistGuidingLight posted:

I just think because Smackdown was a less storyline driven show that didn't have heel authority figures, it was an easy way to make an impromptu opener or main event. Thus Teddy Long, being practically the only face authority figure in a decade, had to be the one to accounce those constantly.

He was a referee back in the ol' NWA days who eventually turned heel and became a manager. Years later he became a WWF referee who eventually turned heel and became a manager. Then he eventually became General Manager for SmackDown with a brief stint as GM of WWECW in between SmackDown runs.
