He doesn't say "unda". He pronounces the "er" in full.
That 1on1 with The Undertaker phrase was so popular it even made it to the video games. Day of Reckoning 2 on GameCube. Not necessarily the phrase but there is a scene in story mode where you talk to Teddy in the ring and outta nowhere he says drop the cell. Then you go one on one with the Undertaker inside hell in a cell😂😂😂

Teddy Long - Commissioner Gordon The Undertaker - The Batman
Loved Teddy. He was so helpless physically yet had the whole locker room in check by handing out matches with The Undertaker!! XD
That, "I was gonna do it anyway." Is why Teddy is my favorite GM.
Had the great opportunity to shoot content with Teddy and Ron Simmons in Feb. Great guys. Teddy is an amazing storyteller.
Its funny cause Teddy used to manage him before he was thr Undertaker as Mean Mark

It's probably because of that history too. Teddy wanted to make sure his buddy got his airtime.
I ALWAYS LOVED how Teddy said “Undertaker” he emphasized every syllable and it so powerfully said. It was said perfectly
Everybody gangsta until Teddy Long has them go 1-on-1 with the Undertaker
teddy’s a true legend of the business man
It's even funnier when you remember WWE a few years ago uploaded a complimation of Teddy Long sicking 'Taker on people lol
Its still a crime taker didn't mention him in his hall of fame speech.

Teddy gave us WWE memes before memes became pervasive everywhere.
I remember Teddy from way back in his days as a manager in WCW. I think he was managing Ron Simmons back then. But then I didn't see him on TV for such a long time, so it was kinda wild to flash forward and see him become such a staple of WWE Smackdown.
I always loved that as well as Teddy making it sound like a death sentence, the inevitable heel woud sell it like they were receiving a death sentence themselves. NOBODY wanted to face the Undertaker during that era of Smackdown, they'd do anything to get out of it.
“Now, Playa…you will go…1 on 1…WIT DA UNDAH-TAKAH!!!”
Son: “Hey dad, I got B+ on my test today!” Teddy: “B+? Hold on playa, that’s not gonna cut it” Son: “But the teacher said that was one of the best marks in the class!” Teddy: “Well you need to work harder, starting tonight. When you go one-on-one; with the Undertakaaaa!!”

Always had more fun watching smackdown. Always knew teddy would have our backs if the heels tried anything
“Buckle up teddy.”
I met Teddy Long at the first WLW show after Harley Race died. I’d been outside and had a good sweat going in the Missouri heat. Teddy was suited and booted. Getting close, putting his arm around me for pictures. I told him I was all sweaty and didn’t want to dirty up his suit. He pulled me in even tighter and said, “playa! If that’s only sweat then we’re all good! Do you know how filthy some of the boys are?” That right there sold me on how cool Teddy Long is. Awesome dude and loves meeting wrestling fans.

This is how a podcast should be, love the set up and listening to both of you, undertaker's six feet under podcast has a terrible setup hate the guy, the way they make them sit. love these guys set up so much better
"goddamit! why didn't you sell that!" 😂 I mean fug Vince but Teddy's impression was hilarious.
After this interview Teddy announced to Chris he would have to go one on one with The Undertakerrrrr!
Love It CVVCLIPS Playa Holla Holla Holla.
Teddy Long had Smackdown lit as hell back in the day
“YOU’RE GONNA GO ONE ON ONE… WITH THE UNDERTAKER!” 😂😭💗
Smackdown was pure magic during Teddy's run.
Don't forget the tag team match playa!
Mark must have been like “can you give me a day off?” 😂😂😂
My favorite entrance music.
The original final boss!
Teddys a legend turned it into a whole meme
You're going to go one one with The Undertaker!!! Ya feel me!!!

A podcast with Teddy and The Undertaker called 1 on 1 with The Undertaker
My favorite right there. 1 on 1 with the undatakah.
Saying a name with emphasis… How brilliant and original!
Teddy is such a legend.
Undertaker was the SmackDown Final Boss during the Teddy Long GM Era
That was the by far the best way to book the Undertaker when he returned to the dead man gimmick, book him as the final boss. The fear JBL had in his eyes while Champion also helped, Undertaker was way ahead of everyone else because of how he was used
Teddy has a great Vince impression😂😂
JBL's face everytime 😂
Welcome to the Teddy special. This match is now a tag team match!
Teddy put his name on smackdown .
Teddys cool man i like him
I used to get hyped waiting for who Teddy would say was facing someone
I like how Teddy said one on one with The Undertaker as a punishment for the Smackdown roster lol 😂
Oh yeah PLAYA?!? Tonight...you're gonna go ONE-ON-ONE with the UNDERTAKER! I remember one time on a Smackdown Undertaker was sitting in the back and he was frustrated like c'mon man not again! lol Good times on Smackdown.
0:30 Who is “John Williams” ???…Lmaooooooo
Teddy made undertaker seem like the final boss lol
I’ve always thought of Undertaker as Teddy Long’s Naughty Step
it actually makes sense since teddy was taker's manager back in WCW when he was mean mark callus.
“Holla holla holla” came from a Dave challpelle skit what is teddy talking about

Teddy is the GOAT GM, because under his reign you could guarentee if anyone came to the ring to cut a promo they would be forced to have a match THAT NIGHT for wasting peoples time talking. And if a bunch of you want to argue in the ring, all of you fight each other. Doesn't matter how many of you there are or if you get along or not. TAG UP. He was the people's GM. Now wrestlers can talk for 15 mins and walk to the back, wasing everyones time.
Yo yo it’s the MacMilitant!
That time The Undertaker was Teddy Longs final boss in Smack Down for anyone with an attitude.
Teddy Long had Undertakers urn 🤣
Hold on a minute playa
And if any of you gotta problem with Teddy Long…..you can go 1 on 1……WITH DA UNDERTAKA!! 😂😂😂😂
Taker was loyal to Smackdown and wanted it to beat Raw. So he always put his hand up to put over the heel
That would be a big huge funeral if Teddy Long pass away
