Why Triple H kissed Shawn Michaels and other wrestling controversies

Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis

Ever wonder what wrestling legends talk about when the cameras stop rolling? WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long pulls back the curtain on his WrestleMania weekend, sharing heartfelt reunions with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rikishi, and other wrestling royalty at WrestleCon.
The wrestling world buzzed when Triple H kissed Shawn Michaels at the Hall of Fame ceremony, but Teddy offers a refreshing perspective: "That's real friendship right there." He reflects on their decades-long bond, reminding us that in wrestling, genuine connections run deeper than storylines. Meanwhile, Randy Orton's comments about "embarrassing" $30,000 WrestleMania ticket prices strike a chord with Teddy, who worries about pricing out devoted fans, especially families who can't afford such luxury.
What happens when a young talent like Bron Breakker aligns with "wise man" Paul Heyman? Teddy sees tremendous value in this mentorship: "He's going to learn a lot from those guys." This seasoned perspective extends to The Rock's conspicuous absence from WrestleMania, as Teddy suggests we might see the People's Champion make a bigger splash at SummerSlam instead.
With surprising candor, Teddy rates this year's WrestleMania a 9/10, though he acknowledges Sunday outshined Saturday. Macs biggest wrestling pet peeve? The death of true finishing moves: "People kick out of everything left and right," diluting what used to be storytelling magic. Through it all, Teddy's love for the business shines through, reminding us why wrestling's blend of athleticism, entertainment, and human connection continues to captivate generations of fans.
Join us every Thursday night at 7 PM Eastern for more unfiltered wrestling talk with one of the industry's most beloved personalities. As Teddy would say: "Holla, holla, playa!"
