Freddie Prinze Jr. says he got one yes, but the negotiations are ongoing.
Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. has been trying to start an independent wrestling promotion. He first revealed his interest in doing so in December 2021. Since then, Prinze Jr. has said that he has talked to TV networks about the idea.
Speaking on Wrestling with Freddie, Prinze Jr. provided the latest update.
“I’ve brought you on the journey as much as I can on starting my own wrestling promotion. I’m much closer to the finish line than the start line, and I’m much closer to a ‘yes’ than a ‘no,’ although a ‘no’ can still happen, and my dream can be crushed. If it doesn’t work with this place, then that will be it for at least this year, and I’ll have to reset and find another way to try and make it work down the road. I already got a ‘yes’ from a wonderful place, from the head of their network, so you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s done.’ Not quite. They are a subsidiary of a much larger company/studio, and they need to get a yes from one of the head honchos in their finance department to get the amount of money that I need to pull this off. So if that person says yes, then I have wrestling promotion, and I should know by the end of the week. So if you’re listening to this on Thursday, by Friday, I think I’m gonna have a yes or a no. So maybe next week, I’ll get to announce either great success or tragic failure [laughs], and we’ll see. Once the process is over, I’m more than willing to talk about all the places that I went to, how I felt about it, and I’ll be able to talk more about the promotion and what it is and how we’re gonna pull it off and what kind of style. But anyway, that’s your update," Prinze Jr. said.
