A particular WWE legend has often been surrounded by rumors of being short-tempered and dangerous. When Teddy Long was recently asked to confirm these rumors, he gave an interesting response.
The legend being talked about is Dan Spivey. Since his wrestling career began in the early 1980s, he worked extensively in a number of promotions, including WCW and WWE. While he did not win any titles in the two companies, his talent in the ring made him a recognizable figure worldwide. He is also credited with inspiring the Bray Wyatt character, on which he worked with Windham Rotunda to bring to life.
When asked about Dan Spivey's alleged temper on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long stated:
"That's the way a lot of guys should be. You know, you're taking no mess off of people man. You know, a lot of times people who know you will take advantage of you." [3:03 onwards]

The WWE Hall of Famer recently commented on Miro's return
Miro (aka Rusev) has arguably been an underutilized wrestler in both WWE and AEW, which has led to much frustration for both him and the fans. He recently returned on RAW and reverted to his Rusev name.
In another recent episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, Teddy Long talked about Rusev's comeback and expressed his desire to see the star booked properly this time around.
"Well, yeah, I like him [Rusev]. I've always liked him. He was always a good heel, to me. He's certainly done his job. So hopefully this time you know things will be better for him and they can really use him like he's supposed to be used."
It remains to be seen what Rusev plans to do next.
