Every week I write the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw column, but I barely ever talk about Smackdown. If you'd like me to recap every Smackdown between 2004 and early 2012, I can do it in four words: TEDDY LONG TAG TEAM MATCH.
Former Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long (aka WCW's Theodore R. Long, aka "Peanuthead") ran a wrestling show for almost 8 years with only one programming idea:
1. Wait until 2-6 wrestlers were arguing in the ring.
2. Interrupt those wrestlers with a rap song about Teddy Long.
3. Announce that if those wrestlers had an issue, they could resolve it in a TAG TEAM MATCH*!
*With Teddy you can't just type "tag team match," because that's not how he says it. He says TAG TEAM MATCH.
Teddy is no longer GM, but now, thanks to YouTube user mekabizh1, you can relive the glory days with this nearly 7-minute long compilation of Teddy showing up, doing the most predictable thing a guy in charge of a wrestling show can do, and bailing. As an added bonus, I've included some of my favorite TAG TEAM MATCH memes and videos after the jump. So check this out and enjoy it, but don't get confrontational with anybody about it, because ... well ...

Just amazing. The flow chart is incredible as is the tag all the matches troll pic
Thats a lot of playas hole-in’ on for a lot of minutes.
This is the single greatest post Brandon has ever made. I literally lost my shit at the dubstep, and I’m laughing so hard I’ve almost peed my pants twice.
Before I actually had to log in to B/w’s, I used to post as ‘HOLUNNAMINNAPLAYA”.
Okay, back to the dubstep for the rest of the day.
Eh, not bad, probably 3/5, could have used more tag team matches.
+Holla
I couldn’t agree more, and let me also say….
HOLEUPAMINUTPLAYA!!!
I’m putting the Teddy Long Tag Team Match video…..INTO A TAG TEAM MATCH! Tonight’s main event will be the Teddy Long Tag Team Match video…..and the Charlie Bit My Finger video…..versus……the Two Girls One Cup video, and……DA UNDERTAKAH!
Holla.
Not to be that guy, but isn’t “Teddy Long tag team match” 5 words?
Arrive
TAG TEAM MATCH

4 people want to nitpick this? Well if that’s how you wanna roll, playas, we’re gonna have us a tag team match.
This was the best thing I’ve read all week.
Booker T’s not much better with his TAG TEAM MATCHES and mentioning of RANDEHHHH ORTON
♪YOU KNOW IT’S THE TAGMILITANT♪
You missed the most important step.
2a. Tell all of the players involved in the in-ring argument to hold on a minute.
OMG at the Hyperbole and a Half mashup.
I’d like to see a video compilation of Vince McMahon telling Teddy Long that he’s on probation.
I just woke my fiancée up due to my uncontrollable laughter.
Tag-team match team tag-match
“Team ‘Tag-Match’” is what the WWE Universe would’ve named Doom.
I’ve seen all the flowcharts already, but I died when I saw the WWE ’12 one.
