Wade Barrett said:You do realize his job involves him being backstage at every event right? He's in charge of talent relations so actually being around the talent is what he does. Not to mention Teddy is stale and the WWE know this from his poor reactions, Johnny draws heat so the WWE will keep him on screen. The award was kayfabe and there for pointless as an indicator of success.
WHAT POOR RELATION? AND IF JOHN LOSE HE STILL THE VP TALENT GUY HE WOULD STILL BE THAT AFTER HE LOSEIS! BUT TEDDY IS WINNING B/c HE DOES GET A GREAT RELATIONS! That a reason there that long b/c he GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES!
