5 Best General Managers in WWE History

Teddy Long

Teddy Long had two runs as SmackDown GM that lasted six years

Listen up Playas. Long started in this business as a referee and moved on to managing talent before he moved into an advisory role in WWE. The man who was once affectionately known as “Peanut Head” was a general manager of SmackDown for two tenures which lasted six years.

After Kurt Angle was fired from the General Manager position in July 2004, Long became the new and first African-American general manager of SmackDown. At first, he was known for giving the fans what they wanted to see, changing the direction of the brand and making matches that favored babyfaces. Him and Vickie Guerrero had a long-standing feud of general managers that worked well as a program that ended in 2008. He also served as general manager of ECW.
