In an interview with Bill Apter of 1Wrestling.com, former WWE SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long noted that he was burnt out after being on the road with the WWE for 20 years and has been busy getting some much needed rest lately.

Long said that he had lost some weight and feels good and added that while he does not miss the WWE, he would be open to a return to the company in the future, but as of now, he is enjoying spending time with his family.
