It's often been said that professional wrestling has a dark underbelly, one that will never go away. The drug and alcohol culture in the industry may have lessened, thanks mainly to WWE's strict Wellness Policy and care for their talent, but there are still things going on. Years before Wellness, the only real way to deal with problems was in Wrestler's Court.

Once again opening up to Kayfabe Commentaries, Teddy Long claimed that he was taken to the Court by his peers backstage for repeatedly selling viagra pills to the boys. Incredibly, none other than Mae Young acted as Teddy's lawyer during the mock trial, which was designed to punish Long for his apparent sins.

Laughing about the situation to The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, Teddy said that he had somebody giving him the pills and he sold off the excess. He'd let a wrestler try a pill, hooking them and then sell viagra to them once they returned.

Found guilty by The Undertaker (acting as the judge), Teddy had to buy a few cases of beer at least once a month and apologise. He claims that he found the whole ordeal fun!
