Former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. spoke to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast on a number of topics such as how Logan Paul did his thing and he can definitely wrestle and he gets why the WWE would do such a thing, but he is not a fan of Paul and he would rather see wrestlers wrestle.
Freddie Prinze Jr. said:
“Look, I get why they’re doing it, I wasn’t a big fan of it. I will say this. He did his thing, the dude can wrestle. He’s done I think three matches now, and I finally watched the Crown Jewel match, I was so proud of the fact that I didn’t watch it because I hate Crown Jewel. It’s just the goofiest.”
“So yeah, so it’s a tricky thing. I get why they did it, right? I get why they brought Mr. T to Wrestlemania. But I’m not a fan of it. Like I would rather see wrestlers wrestle. I didn’t like that he videoed himself doing a Frog Splash. How serious are you, this is the old school mentality, how serious are you about winning the WWE Championship if you’re going to hold a phone and video yourself doing a Frog Splash? It should be a singular [focus].”
“Again. It’s an old school mentality, and I’m not saying it’s right. I’m just saying it’s mine. How serious are you about winning, if you don’t have a singular focus on winning? […] This is like, I’m gonna bring everyone into my social media page and get even more followers while I do this.”
