Former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently took to an episode of his Wrestling with Freddie podcast from iHeart Media’s My Cultra Network and talked about a number of topics, including if he will be having any type of on-screen presence with the wrestling promotion he is going to launch.
Freddie Prinze Jr. said:
“Let me say this. If I have to be in it to get it sold on TV when it’s ready to go, then I’ll be in it.” “It would be in a minor way, but I would find a way to make that work. But in no way shape or form will I be inside a ring in between the start and finish bell. No way dude. No way. That’s not what I want to do with my brand. That’s not really who I am at this age. Maybe in my 20s.”
Freddie Prinze Jr. also talked about how he would have booked the DX-WCW invasion angle in 1998.
Freddie Prinze Jr. said:
“I know that I wasn’t Hunter’s favorite person when I worked there. But before the Jeff Hardy thing, he and I were cool, man. We showed each other respect. It was the Jeff thing that kind of turned him off on me and had him keep specific wrestlers away from me. But as far as Triple H the wrestler, like that’s DX all day. This would be the quickest booking ever, because I would have had that tank go straight through the wall of that arena, have them go in there, just beat up everybody, and just have it be a full on shoot invasion where we’re having to pay for the construction of an arena in Georgia. That’s how I would book that. Death to the NWO.”
