The Collapse of Teddy Long

On Friday's Smackdown, the wedding of WWE Diva Kristal and Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long seemed doomed as it kept trying to move forward. Despite the beautiful scenery, the great musical performance of Jagged Edge and the attendance of many of Teddy & Kristal's friends, constant interruptions occurred. First, WWE Diva & bad singer Jillian Hall decided to show up and serenade the wedding after Jagged Edge finished their performance. Then there was the Godfather Pimp showing up with his "Ho Train" to parade them into the ring, reminding Teddy of the good old days. Most of the male guests at the wedding proceeded to leave the ceremony, after jumping on board the Ho Train. Throw in Hornswoggle behaving like a little kid, and the ceremony had its full share of problems. But then the unthinkable happened with Teddy Long collapsing and paramedics rushing to the ring to bring him out to an ambulance.

WWE.com has provided the following update on the Smackdown GM's status:

"After being rushed to a local medical facility, Long’s doctors claim the groom was suffering from hypertension, which was worsened by the ingestion of the erectile dysfunction medicine Viagra.

“Mr. Long then suffered a myocardial infraction with cardio myopathy,” claims WWE’s Dr. Ferdinand Rios. “As a result, he is currently semi-comatose.”

According to Dr. Rios, Long has been slipping in and out of consciousness since early Saturday morning. At the moment, a long-term diagnosis is difficult to make. Long is currently under around-the-clock supervision, as the next few days are critical."

What's interesting to remember are the following things from Smackdown:

- A while back on Smackdown, Vickie Guerrero had a private discussion with Kristal during an interview. We weren't made aware of their "plan" or what was discussed.

- Kristal became intimate and close with Teddy and helped Vickie Guerrero land the assistant GM job on Smackdown. Vickie has seemed to be a fair Assistant GM so far, but you'd have to think she had a trick up her sleeve. Is there a wrestler she will help now? Chavo would be the first to come to mind.

- Finally, a few weeks ago, Vickie handed Teddy a blue pill as a gift, which was supposed to be Viagara. What was it really though?

So the questions loom as Teddy Long is still in the hospital. W It brings up another "near death" storyline as well, this time for the main guy on Smackdown. With Teddy sidelined, we can only speculate what exactly Kristal and Vickie might have in store for Smackdown. If the two women become in charge of the show, the Smackdown roster could be in for some trouble.
