In a surprising twist, a general manager and not a wrestler tops this list. Teddy Long made SmackDown his own in a way no other manager has ever managed to do. He understood the wrestling industry in a way few did and created matches that the fans actually enjoyed watching.

As a General Manager, Teddy Long was an innovator coming up with several unique concepts such as the Last Ride Match, the Stretcher Match, and the Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match. Teddy's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame was a testament to how hard he worked.
