Wrestler

The Resume

    (September 15, 1955- )
    Managed and commentated for WCW
    Served as referee and manager of the WWE
    Served as General Manager of WWE Smackdown
    Once known as ‘The Godfather of Wrestling

Why he might be annoying:

    One of the men he managed in WCW was Norman the Lunatic, a guy who supposedly escaped from a mental ward. Long carried around a key to Norman’s cell with him at the ward and threatened Norman that if he didn’t calm down he was going back to the loony bin.
    When he went from referee to manager in the WWE, he portrayed a Malcolm X type manager where he blamed everything on race.
    He uses stereotypical words and phrases like calling people ‘playas’ and ending sentences with ‘believe dat.’
    His first wrestler in the WWE was D-Lo Brown, who Long claimed wasn’t being pushed because he was black.
    His next wrestler was Christopher Nowinski, a white Harvard graduate.
    The last wrestler he managed in the WWE was Mark Jindrak, who Long kept saying had the ‘reflection of perfection’. The gimmick, and the pairing, didn’t last long.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He started in wrestling running errands for wrestlers and setting up and taking down the ring. He worked his way up to become a referee and later a successful manager.
    His first assignment as manager was a team called The Sky Scrapers, two men who would later go on to be The Undertaker and Sid Vicious.
    He’s given the wrestlers he’s managed a much needed boost in their careers.
    He was named Manager of the Year in PWI in 1990.
