10 Short-Lived Wrestling Stables You've Already Forgotten
3. Thuggin' & Buggin' Enterprises
Teddy Long's last regular gig as a manager in the traditional sense before taking over SmackDown in 2004 found him at first choosing violence as a way to get across his message of systemic hate in WWE.
Predictably, this was all a little too sensitive for the company to properly address, begging the question why they even bothered in the first place. But bother they did, and Thuggin' & Buggin' Enterprises were born as a bland Monday Night Raw heel unit.
Having dumped D'Lo Brown as his first client, Long picked up Rodney Mack and later Mark Henry, Chris Nowinski and a few select others to gamely fight oppression in an organisation that's typically made babyfaces out of the oppressors.
