For those unaware, Washington acted as an on-screen manager for WWE from 2009 to 2012. He first performed on the developmental brand FCW, following which he appeared in the short-lived revival of ECW and, eventually, RAW.
However, Washington’s career came to a halt in 2012 when he went off script and made insensitive remarks about the much-publicized Kobe Bryant sexual assault case on commentary. A few days later, he was released from WWE.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling’s One on One, Teddy Long mentioned Abraham’s name among those who faced the consequences of going into business for themselves.

Elsewhere in the video, Teddy Long didn’t hesitate to blast Ronda Rousey, too, saying she was among those who went into business for themselves.
The WWE Hall of Famer believes Rousey didn’t care about the wrestling business or the art of pro wrestling. Though Long mentioned that the former SmackDown Champion was a “great person” in real life, he felt she wasn’t cut out for the industry.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet lost her SmackDown Women’s Title to a returning Charlotte Flair on last week’s episode of SmackDown.
