While Teddy Long is already a WWE Hall of Famer, he wants to see some of his fellow referees be inducted as well.
During a recent interview with Sportskeeda, the former referee and SmackDown General Manager was asked about Earl Hebner’s recent comments about other officials possibly being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the future. Long said,
“Well, I agree with Earl Hefner. If they ever decide that they want to do a Hall of Fame for the referees and the officials, there are a lot of guys. Jim White, God rest his soul, he certainly should be one of them. But I certainly agree with Earl Hebner, Mike Chioda, Jimmy Korderas, Jack Doane, Chad Patton, you know. Nick Patrick, all those guys. They’re seasoned veterans of refereeing.”
He added, “And some of them, you know, had a little wrestling background. Nick Patrick, you know, no he wrestled a little bit in Mid-South, Bill Watts’ territory, before he ever came up and started refereeing. So I think those guys deserve that honor, and I hope somebody pay attention to maybe what we’re saying and think about it, and go ahead and do that.”
