WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long shared the origin of Vickie Guerrero's catchphrase

Throughout her career in the world of pro wrestling, Vickie Guerrero has managed several wrestlers. She has managed Dolph Ziggler, Edge, Big Show, and is currently in AEW with Nyla Rose.

For a brief period of time, Guerrero was also the General Manager of SmackDown. During that time, she had a catchphrase that she would say at the start of any segment. It was two words, "Excuse me!"

During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's One on one, the Hall of Famer shared the origin of the catchphrase. Long mentioned that the current AEW star was easy to work with and mentioned that the catchphrase came up during a rehearsal and Teddy Long like it and asked her to keep it.

"So she was so easy to work with and the way we started the 'Excuse Me' is one day we were down at the ring, you know, just watching rehearsals and somebody came by Vickie and she just turned around and went like, 'Excuse me' and I just said to her, 'That's it, keep saying that. That's it.' And that's, you know, how we started doing that. She was just absolutely great to work with," Teddy Long said. [28:54-29:21]
