Freddie Prinze Jr. Details Failed Meetings With Warner Bros. Discovery & VICE For New Wrestling Promotion

Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. - who formerly held a position on WWE's writing team - has been trying to get his own promotion off the ground for the past several years.

In a new episode of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Prinze noted that he has had meetings with several places about the project. According to Prinze, a meeting with Warner Bros. Discovery did not go well, while a meeting with Vice TV was positive (but the channel could not afford the show).

"We went to Warner Discovery, which was like the worst meeting that I had out of all of them. They basically just wanted me to do a reality show by the end of the pitch and knew nothing about wrestling and didn’t seem to care for wrestling at all. So it was not a good meeting. I must have failed at some point in the pitch because they were not interested in what I was saying. I gave the same pitch to everyone else - it was the only place that didn't work," Prinze said.

"I also pitched to — what was it? Vice? Yeah, Vice TV. And they wanted the show bad, but they were going under some business restructuring - trying to basically stay on the air - and they couldn't afford the show at the end of the day. That was a place I really wanted to go because they have Dark Side of the Ring and I thought we could be a cool pairing with them. So I was disappointed there," he added.

Prinze went on to say that he is now working with a new (unnamed) streaming company on the project. The company suggested that Prinze partner with an existing independent promotion and that things are moving forward in that direction.

Though there is still much work to be done and the project could conceivably fall apart, Prinze is determined to see it through, saying:

"I am doing my damndest to make this work. I am doing my damndest to make my dreams come true. I have not accepted a closed door, as much as they hurt. I keep finding other ones - or they find me. One way or the other. But you have to be ready when opportunity comes".
