WWE News: The Undertaker WWE: Former SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long was famous for forcing superstars to go one-on-one with The Undertaker. The WWE Hall of Famer served as the general manager of SmackDown between 2004 and 2012 after plying his trade as a referee and a manager from 1998 to 2004.

Speaking on the first edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s One on One, Long explained Vince McMahon’s advice to build up the catchphrase “one-on-one with The Understaker.”
“Vince McMahon had sent Stephanie McMahon out there to make an introduction, and when Stephanie came back, Vince commented that he wanted a little bit more enthusiasm on the introduction. He really wanted to build the guy up when introducing. So, I was standing there and listening; I didn’t say anything.
He also went on to mention that he remembered what Vince said when he did the promo with the Phenom.
“So, what I did was when I got to the promo with The Undertaker, that’s when I remembered what Vince said to build him up. That’s when I said, “One-on-one with The Undertaker. And that’s how it all started.”

WWE News: Theodore Long has no idea why he was excluded from The Undertaker’s Hall of Fame ceremony
The Deadman was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the night before WrestleMania earlier this year. Fans and wrestlers collectively hailed the moment as the greatest HOF induction ever. Long, who was inducted into the prestigious class of wrestlers in 2017, was not a part of the show.
Speaking on the same podcast, Long mentioned that he has no idea why WWE decided not to invite him.
“Well, that’s not my call, you know. I don’t know who was in charge of all that. I’m pretty sure at that time, Laurinaitis was there for sure. Like I said, not my call. I couldn’t understand it either, but like I said, that belongs to them, and I don’t worry about if they don’t want me, then they don’t want me. It’s just that simple.”
