10 Most Revealing Wrestling Shoot Videos On YouTube

1. Teddy Long Is Awesome

And now for a happier ending. With wrestling being as seedy and politicised as it is, it's little wonder that the reveals here are mostly of the vitriolic variety.

Here, however, tag team match aficionado Teddy Long reveals himself to be a saint among men.

When WCW closed its doors, stacks of merchandise were piled up in a warehouse. They weren't going anywhere, so Long went out to various impoverished neighbourhoods and handed them out.

This is something he still does to this day; whenever a line of merchandise is written off with surplus stock, he is contacted by Vince McMahon, who permits him to pick it up and dish it out like the "Black Santa" he gets described as here.

Not content with plastering a smile on the face of several children, Long also reveals in the video that that he'd rather share a motel room with a decrepit man in a straw hat and bountiful beard than Missy Hyatt - cheering up Val Venis to no end.

Long is as hilarious as he is saintly; he also tells an incredible story about Tony Atlas and the extent of his foot fetish - he apparently once wanted an octogenarian woman to walk over his body, cane and all.
