One of the popular actors who has made a big name for himself in Hollywood is Freddie Prinze Jr. One of the most notable projects that Prince Jr. has done is the live-action Scooby-Doo films. He played the role of Fred Jones. He is also an avid fan of professional wrestling. Prinze Jr. has also been a writer for WWE and co-owns the Premier Streaming Network. Recently, he shared his thoughts on one of the popular characters in WWE.
During the latest episode of his Wrestling with Freddie podcast, he shared his thoughts on the character and the growth of Chelsea Green. Prinze mentioned that The Hot Mess has been doing her best to make the most of the opportunity and time she has been given.
“They do give Chelsea and Piper backstage segments so they at least try to give them opportunities to get over in that regard, and then a small quick match that usually doesn’t mean much. Chelsea’s making the most of it.
“It’s a tough character to get over, man, because it’s way ’80s character-driven. So, it’s tough to pull off in a reality-based format, but you know, she’s doing her thing,” Freddie Prinze Jr. said. [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Freddie Prinze Jr. is working on starting his own wrestling promotion
During an episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Prinze Jr. provided an update on his wrestling promotion that is yet to be launched.
“I have been working on it, I can talk a lot about the process. I wrote a wrestling show, and it was also a promotion. It was partially scripted, and then wrestling matches as well. Depending on the talent, you can let some people do their own thing. Some people need to be written for, some people shouldn’t talk. They’re more skilled in the ring than on the microphone. It was different than what is out there today, I felt, in a good way, and I started going out with it the traditional Hollywood way, which is find a producer who’s passionate about the material and/or showrunner, attach them to the material, and then you and that showrunner/producer go to the networks.
“I don’t like this process. It adds people that weren’t an organic part of the process to it at a very early stage, and it makes it seem like it’s okay to change everything. It doesn’t always go down like that, but more often than not it does. The producers that I found all wanted to much ownership that by the time I would be done with the network and the showrunner, I’m making less than both of them, and it’s my idea. That’s normally how it goes when you sell a half-hour, or an hour-long television show,” Freddie Prinze Jr. said.
