Teddy Long believes WWE needs Vince McMahon back in the fold, arguing that his return could help restore fan interest. Long bluntly stated, “I think what we got to do, we got to get Vince back so we can do this thing right and get the fans back on board,” making it clear that he feels McMahon’s leadership is still important to WWE’s success.
When asked whether the possibility of McMahon returning to WWE is over, Long said he does not believe that is the case. “I don’t think the chapter has ever closed with him,” Long said. While acknowledging that he does not know everything that happened behind the scenes, he added, “to me, in my knowing him, this was his life. He loved this. This was his life.”
Long went on to describe just how passionate McMahon was about the wrestling business. Recalling a flight they once shared, he said, “I had a chance to ride on the plane with him and one night we was on the plane and as soon as we took off, he talked about wrestling until we landed.” The story was offered as an example of how consumed McMahon was by the industry and how much he enjoyed discussing it.
Discussing his current WWE Legends contract, Long noted that he would return to work for WWE if asked. “I have that Legends deal, so if they call me, I have to go to work,” he said. However, Long admitted that if he had a preference, it would be to work under McMahon once again, concluding, “I’ll do what I’m told, you know, what I have to do. But if I had to go back, I wish it would be under the whims of Vince McMahon.”
