Will Friedle attended the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere on January 6th alongside his "Boy Meets World" co-star and longtime wrestling fan Danielle Fishel.
It was Friedle's first wrestling experience, and he wasn't quite sure what to expect.
"I don't know. I truly don't know," Friedle said on Pod Meets World when asked by Fishel what he expected from the event. "Obviously, Boy Meets World has some connection with wrestling. We had Vader on and he threw me around the ring for a while. Mick Foley, Mankind, we're still good friends with Mick. I had some idea. I thought I had some idea of what the world was kind of going to be."
The way Danielle hooked me was, she was like, 'it's fantasy. It is Dungeons and Dragons. It is live action role playing. Look at it like that.' When I put that in my head, I was like, 'Okay.' I already knew about the athleticism and the performers."
Speaking about his live experience, Friedle said, "We walk in, packed, 18,000 fans. Everyone in cosplay. Everyone with belts, and signs, every age, every color, every gender, everything is represented. It's the most beautiful hodgepodge of people you've ever seen in your life. When I mean packed, there was not a seat in this place, from the time the event started to four hours later when it ended, no one got up and left. Insane."
Fishel and Friedle were shown to the live crowd, but Friedle was not recognized with a graphic or on commentary.
