Then it fell apart. Women’s wrestling in WWE has come a very long way in recent years, with the division reaching heights that are almost impossible to fathom. The rise has been led by a group of women who have become some of the top stars in WWE. However, not all of them get along as well as others and now we know a bit more about what caused a specific split. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Top WWE Stable Could Move In Upcoming Draft Jeff Dye, Becky Lynch’s ex-boyfriend and the co-host on Wrestling With Freddie, discussed the breakdown of her relationship with Charlotte on a recent edition of the show. According to Dye, the issues began to occur when the two women were feuding in 2018. The two would say things about each other in promos but then start to take the statements seriously. In addition, Dye said that Charlotte was having a difficult time accepting that Lynch was becoming the face of the women’s division. Lynch would go on to defeat Charlotte and Ronda Rousey in ..
He’s not a fan. We are moving away from Survivor Series, which was one of the biggest shows of the year. The card featured a variety of matches and stars up and down the show, some of which were better than others. With so many people watching the show, there are going to be some who like it more than others, and in this case, a former WWE employee was not happy with what he saw. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Considers Special Legend Shows For WrestleMania 39 One of the matches at Survivor Series saw Ronda Rousey successfully defend her SmackDown Women’s Title against Shotzi. During the latest edition of the Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE creative team member Freddie Prinze Jr. blasted the match, calling it “the single worst match I have seen in I don’t know how long”. Prinze Jr. said that it was not Shotzi’s fault, but rather blaming Rousey for her wrestling getting worse, suggesting that she is either not trying or is incapable of making things work. Here..
Yeah he did that. There has never been anyone like Vince McMahon in the history of wrestling and there never will be again. McMahon was the definition of a one of a kind personality who was known for his odd quirks, including getting annoyed at things for no apparent reason. There have been several instances of single words driving McMahon crazy over the years and now we know another one. During a recent edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. revealed that McMahon would get angry when someone used the word “strap” to refer to a championship during a promo. While McMahon would not allow the word “belt” to be used, the word “strap” would reportedly cause him to go into a rage, to the point where nothing else in the promo mattered to him. McMahon retired from WWE earlier this year after nearly 40 years in charge of the company. Opinion: This is about as McMahon of a thing as you can get and I’m not remotely surprised. He has always been known..
There’s nothing good about that. The Women’s Revolution has brought the WWE women’s division a very long way and that is a good thing. After years of women’s wrestling being little more than a side show in WWE, the women are now treated as stars and have accomplished almost everything imaginable. However, it is still not that easy, and now we have a better idea of some of the obstacles they had to face. During a recent edition of his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Freddie Prinze Jr. talked about his time on the WWE creative team. Prinze talked about pitching ideas about women’s wrestling to Kevin Dunn, who would regularly shoot them down because he did not find some of the women involved to be pretty. Dunn would be told how many male stars would not be seen as attractive but he still stopped stories because the WWE Women’s Champion would have to be “pretty”. Dunn is considered gone from WWE following Vince McMahon’s departure. Opinion: As rather pathetic as this is, it also isn’t sl..
One more on the list? There are a lot of wrestling promotions in the world but only a few rise to prominence. It takes a lot of money, time and effort to make a promotion work and a lot of that comes down to the owner. If the right person is not behind the wheel, things can go badly in a hurry. Now someone you might have heard of before is throwing their hat into the ring. Freddie Prinze Jr., an actor and former member of the WWE Creative team, has announced on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast that he is planning to start his own promotion. Prinze says that he hopes to have the promotion up and running in eighteen months but does not expect to get a TV deal right away. He hopes that his shows are about two hours each and wants men and women to have equal time. In addition, Prinze is hoping that the show will be a SAG show, meaning that everyone involved will be a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Opinion: This is one of those things that might sound good on paper but it might be a..
He has the name. The owner of a wrestling promotion might not get the most attention but they are almost as important of a person as you can have in the operation. That person is going to be financing the company and is often the face behind the whole thing. Having an owner that fans recognize can be helpful and now someone who is known by more than a few people might be getting into the wrestling industry. Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. mentioned on Twitter that he is working to finance his own wrestling promotion. Prinze responded to a fan on Twitter who asked about such a promotion, saying that he was returning to work to finance such a project. He did not offer any further details on the promotion. Prinze has a background in wrestling, having worked as part of the WWE Creative team, as well as actively hosting a wrestling podcast. I hope so. Only went back to work to finance the muthafucka. Give me some time tho ?? — Freddie Prinze Jr (@RealFPJr) April 22, 2022 Opinion: I have no ide..
It would be nice to have him back. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to a wrestler as you do not know how long they are going to be on the shelf. What seems like something that is only going to keep them out of action for a short time could take months if things are more serious than they seem. That was the case with a Monday Night Raw star, but now we might have an idea of when he could be back. Monday Night Raw star MVP was a guest on the most recent edition of Wrestling With Freddie and mentioned that he is working to rehab his injured knee. MVP has was injured during a tag match in September 2021, suffering a torn meniscus. The tear has since healed but MVP has been had to work to regain the atrophied muscles. There is no word on when MVP will be returning to the ring or WWE television. Opinion: This is always good to hear as MVP is one of the better all around performers on Monday Night Raw. He is excellent as Bobby Lashley’s manager but having him get in the ..
That’s a different take to get. WWE is in a weird place at the moment as they are switching a lot of things around. The company has released a lot of wrestlers over the last year and a half and it has impacted how the roster looks. This is probably not going to help the fact that WWE has a reputation for booking rematches, and now a rather unlikely source is talking about just that. Actor Macaulay Culkin was a guest on Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Wrestling With Freddie podcast to discuss various topics in wrestling. Culkin talked about his issues with WWE’s repetitive matches, citing Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar and New Day vs. the Usos as matches that have been run too often. In addition, he also revealed that he had spoken to WWE about being a consultant. Culkin has appeared at some wrestling events over the years, including WrestleMania 7 and an episode of Monday Night Raw. Here are some of Culkin’s comments, with transcription courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com: On Modern WWE: “Especially t..
You don’t want to be on his bad side. While he might not be what he once was, there is no one in the wrestling world on the level of Vince McMahon. After being in power for the better part of forty years, McMahon is still the most powerful person in the industry. Anything he decides can change wrestling, including the careers of individual wrestlers. That was the case with a recently released star. Former WWE producer Freddie Prinze Jr. discussed Bray Wyatt’s issues in WWE during an appearance on the Ringer Wrestling Podcast. Prinze Jr. said that Wyatt had issues with McMahon and Kevin Dunn, which led to his departure from the company. The problem came from McMahon and Dunn seeing Wyatt one way and Wyatt seeing himself in another. This is said to be what led to Goldberg defeating Wyatt at Super Showdown in 2020. Wyatt was ultimately released from WWE in June, with his most recent match being a loss to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37. This was a big loss for WWE. Check out what Wyatt h..
