"We took all of his sh*t" - WWE Hall of Famer remembers ripping off drug dealer with Randy Savage
A WWE Hall of Famer has shared a wild story about the time he, Randy Savage, and Dick Slater ripped off a street dealer.
Teddy Long is a former referee, manager, and authority figure in WWE. He has spent years on the independent circuit following his release from the sports entertainment giant in 2014. He appeared at RAW XXX to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the red brand and announced a tag team match.
Speaking on the Road Trip After Hours podcast with Mac Davis, Teddy Long disclosed that he watched Randy Savage and Dick Slater rip off a drug dealer in the West End when they were going to buy marijuana.
"When we get into the car with the guy to buy the weed, the guy pulls out this big bag of cocaine and says 'Hey, I ain't got just weed, I got this right here too'. So I look at Savage, god rest his soul, he turns around, looks at Slater, and he nods his head, which means he gave Slater the office, that's what that meant. When he gave Slater the office, Slater hooked this guy right in the Sleeper for shoot. I mean put him to sleep for real," said Teddy Long. [From 07:01 - 07:34]
