Teddy Long Praises WWE For Inducting Tim White Into Hall Of Fame

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long talked about his time as a WWE referee and more while speaking with Inside The Ropes. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

His time as a WWE referee: 

“I didn’t go in as a ref, but see refereeing, people don’t understand I loved that because if it hadn’t been for me being a referee, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Tim White’s WWE Hall of Fame induction: 

“I think it’s a great thing that they’re now deciding to put referees in the Hall of Fame. I’m so happy for Tim White, God rest his soul, man. He was a great guy,” adding that nobody deserved the honor more than him. This isn’t the first time Long has praised White’s work between the ropes either. Last November, he named White as one referee who was very deserving of such a nod. Now that it’s happened, he hopes it’s a sign of things to come, saying “I hopefully think that by them putting Tim White in, I hope that is the beginning of something.”
