Freddie Prinze Jr. on AEW Giving Talent More Consistent Pushes Than WWE

– During the latest edition of the Wrestling With Freddie podcast, actor and former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. complimented AEW for giving more consistent pushes to their talent versus WWE. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Freddie Prinze Jr. on AEW pushing talent more consistently: “They definitely give a more consistent push to talent than WWE. We may feel they push the wrong person sometimes, but they’re consistent with it. If they say, ‘Hey, we’re giving you a shot,’ you’re getting a real shot. And if you mess up, that’s okay, you’re going to get it right next week. And in WWE, if you mess up, that’s it, your story’s over. Period. It’s literally end of story.”

Prinze on how Vince McMahon would react to a messed up spot: “Vince. I used to hear him say it all the time. If somebody messed up a spot, he’d go, ‘Well that’s dead money.’ And I would just be like, ‘Yo, they made a mistake. In TV and film, we get take two.’ This is live. Stuff screws up.”
