Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis

Mailbag Mayhem with Teddy Long


Listen Later

The show opens with a running joke about our cursed intro music—then swerves into one of our most heated segments: the impossible choices. We ask Teddy Long to pick who he’d retire between John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes; who he’d release between Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Logan Paul; and who he’d revive between Eddie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan, and Bray Wyatt. The answers are honest, surprising, and deeply human, grounded in a lifetime of watching stars rise, stumble, and become legends.

From there, we trade stories that bring history to life. Teddy remembers Bray as a kid guarding a gear bag with a loyal dog and breaks down why Eddie’s charisma and timing were unmatched—down to a small note on a frog splash that shows how perfectionists think. We share memories of Balls Mahoney’s laughter, Cowboy Bob Orton’s road days, Fit Finley’s toughness and mentorship, Goldust’s early years, and a tense moment where Vince McMahon left Gorilla like a thunderbolt. There’s even a tasteful peek inside Vince’s birthday celebration—family, music, and a rare keepsake that says more about trust than any headline.

If you’re trying to break into wrestling, this one’s a blueprint. Teddy lays out why education comes first, how to plan for injuries and uncertainty, and where indies are failing the next generation: few teach promos, character, and show-business fundamentals. We offer concrete fixes—early call times, Q&A, storytelling drills, and veteran-led sessions—to help indie promotions build talent that can talk, connect, and move seamlessly to TV. Fans get a seat at the table; aspiring wrestlers get real steps forward; everyone gets a reminder that the ring is built on people as much as spectacle.

Join the conversation, tell us your picks for retire/release/revive, and send your intro music ideas. If you enjoy the show, follow, share with a friend who loves wrestling, and leave a quick review to help more fans find us.
