Whether working as a referee, manager, or authority figure, Teddy Long always brought something to WWE television. Sadly, his Thuggin’ & Buggin’ Enterprises stable wasn’t exactly his finest hour, and the group never felt like anything more than a sanitised Nation of Domination knock-off.

The group were a team of African Americans who felt that they’d been held back in WWE on account of their race, and featured the likes of Rodney Mack, Rosey, and Jazz. Long was a strong mouthpiece for the group of unspectacular talkers, but he could never drag most of the team beyond the midcard, and they dissipated in 2004.

Mark Henry’s career reached new heights as a member of the group, however. Joining their ranks in August 2003, Henry became embroiled in a brief program with World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg, when Triple H had put a bounty on the former WCW man’s head. Henry was soon rubbing shoulders with some of the sport’s biggest names, and after feuding with Shawn Michaels, he dominated a series with Booker T.

The injury bug soon reared its ugly head again, however. Henry tore his quad in February 2004, and spent close to two years on the sidelines, not returning until December 2005.
