Teddy Long reveals details about Vince McMahon's 80th birthday party

Vince McMahon, one of the most iconic and important -as well as controversial and polemic- figures in the history of professional wrestling, is now an octogenarian. The former chairman of WWE celebrated his 80th birthday in style, with a party attended by a multitude of renowned guests, including Michael Cole, Booker T, The Undertaker, John Cena, and Drew McIntyre, among many others.

One of the guests at the party was Teddy Long, former General Manager of SmackDown, who shared some details of that party during a recent interview with Bill Apter and Mac Davis from Sportskeeda. Among other things, Long revealed that only two WWE talents sat at McMahon's table: Teddy Long himself and John Cena.

"The first night was a very good night. The opening and all that. Vince finally arrived and I had a very good conversation with him. It was nice. Some things I won't repeat because they were between him and me. The first thing he said to me was: 'It's so good to see you. It's so good to see you.' I thanked him for everything he has done for me. On Saturday night, for the birthday party, I walked in and just sat at a table. They came to get me and said, 'You're at Vince's table.' The only talent at that table was me and John Cena. That was it, me and Cena. I saw R-Truth come over, sit down, but he wasn't at the table," Long said.

How did Vince McMahon look at the party?

"He didn't seem to look bad to me. I don't understand what people are talking about. His face seemed like it could be a bit swollen or something, but to me he looked fine. He had a nice suit on both nights. He was moving, walking, he looked great to me," he replied.

Long also mentioned that Jelly Roll and a choir dressed entirely in black entertained at the event. On the other hand, he also highlighted the presence of Triple H, although not that of his daughter, Stephanie McMahon.

Do you think Vince McMahon could return to television at some point?

"You never know with Vince. I was watching him a bit before the birthday party started. Kevin Dunn was there, and Vince had his headset on, which reminded me of him on television, walking around and doing his thing. I think it was great for him too because it was like going back to work. He loves this. It was great to see him maneuver and do some things on television. He was back at work and that did him a lot of good," he said.
