WWE legend Teddy Long has described what Sting's personality is like behind the scenes.

Long was a prominent WWE authority figure as he oversaw SmackDown as its General Manager for almost eight years. Even before that, he worked as a referee and a manager in Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW. Understandably, he has come across many veterans, one of them being Sting.

Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda Wrestling's One on One, Long noted that the face-painted star usually kept himself out of all backstage drama back in the day.

In addition, the 75-year-old claimed that the WCW veteran always kept a low profile. Hence, even if he did anything, people wouldn't be aware of it.

"Well, yeah he did [stay out of all the drama]. He kept a low profile so if he did anything you didn't know it," said Teddy Long. [12:02-12:08]

Teddy Long explained how Sting treats him whenever they cross paths

In the same interview, Teddy Long claimed that Sting has always been nice to him. The WWE veteran added that they always get along and see each other once in a while.

Long mentioned that whenever he crosses paths with the AEW star at fan signings, the latter never shies away from approaching Long and talking to him.

"I mean, he was always a nice guy to me. We always got along and stuff and like I said, I see him every once in a while. Sometimes on signings and stuff and he always comes up and talks to me and we'll stop and have a little conversation for five or ten minutes and that's about it. He was always a nice guy, I have nothing bad to say about Sting," added Teddy Long. [11:23-12:00]

The 63-year-old will be in action at the upcoming AEW Full Gear pay-per-view. He will pair up with Darby Allin to face Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in a tag team match.
