As previously reported, Freddie Prinze Jr. has been shopping around his new wrestling promotion to various TV networks with a few showing interest. In the latest Wrestling with Freddie (via Fightful, Prinze noted that one place he has talked to has decided to pass, but another place is leaning towards yes.
He said: “I have good news and bad news. The first place I went to, although I already thought they were going to pass because it had been a while, the first place I went to passed. I don’t want to bury them and put their name out there. That’s super disappointing. I legit just read that and reacted. That’s super disappointing and frustrating, although I will say, in hindsight, they didn’t ask a lot of questions you would get from someone who is excited about wrestling. They were much more basic and respectful questions. Maybe they were just being polite. The second place I went to asked a ton of questions, very specific questions. The text said, without saying too much, that they are leaning towards saying yes. That is very much good news. I have another meeting after we record this, which is the third of six. I haven’t booked the final two, so right now, it’s the third of four. We potentially have six places. I’m really nervous about this place. It’s a bigger studio, so it’s a harder sell. The smaller places have given me more love about wanting to hear the pitch. I don’t want to screw it up. There is always a chance you’re in there with someone who hates wrestling and you’re not going to convince them and you know it.“
