Teddy Long says former WWE owner Vince McMahon was “the best person” he ever met in wrestling

While speaking to MadMacDavis, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long was asked to name the best person he ever met in wrestling. Here was Long’s response…

“Well, I met several people. It ain’t just one person that was the best. There are a lot of good people in wrestling, and I had the opportunity to be friends with some of them. I’d say Vince McMahon—I’d have to say that first—because I was able to get a chance to work close to him, and that’s something that everybody doesn’t have the opportunity to do.

I would sit down with him in meetings, and it was just me, him, and Taker, or me, him, and somebody else. And he didn’t do that with everybody. So I consider myself really lucky. And for him to put me in that position, you know what I mean, I consider him one of the best people.”

Long also mentioned JBL, The Godfather, Ron Simmons, and The Rock as people he enjoyed being around.
