Before Teddy Long came out to be inducted, a video package aired that made light of his deference towards booking tag team matches during his tenure as Smackdown GM, and his tendency to trip over his own words.

Hilariously, Long concluded his speech by fully acknowledging his status as a walking, talking wrestling meme, while ribbing the APA for calling him a cheapskate during their introduction.

Long ended with, "I want Bradshaw and Ron Simmons to know one other thing before I leave. If they've got a problem with me paying them that money, I guess what I might have to do is put both of them in a tag team match, playa! And I know the first thing Ron Simmons is gonna say, that he's retired and he doesn't wrestle anymore, so then that leaves Bradshaw. So Bradshaw, if I gotta just take you, then you will go one-on-one with The Undertaker!"

How can you not love that?
