One thing that's been lost in all this fan unhappiness is that guys like Teddy Long got to revisit an old haunt, catch up with old friends and do it all with a smile that screamed, "I'm glad to be here." Besides, he probably also got a slice of that kick-ass Raw 25 cake.

When Teddy danced into shot during a backstage segment featuring other legends like Brother Love and the Brooklyn Brawler, he looked utterly delighted to be there. Fans were clearly happy to see him too, because they gave the ex-SmackDown GM a rapturous reception.

Other cameos, like Godfather or Harvey Wippleman, fell short and perhaps even came across like budget additions to the show. Long wasn't the same. He was full of vigour, happy to be in town and eager to perform that silly little jig one more time.
