Ex-WWE Writer Explains Why He Wasn’t A Fan Of Logan Paul vs. Roman Reigns

Former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. was recently interviewed on Chris Van Vliet’s podcast to discuss several professional wrestling topics. One such topic being the Crown Jewel 2022 match between Logan Paul and Roman Reigns that took place.

Prinze Jr. explained why he wasn’t a fan of the matchup, saying:

“Look, I get why they’re doing it, I wasn’t a big fan of it. I will say this. He did his thing, like the dude can wrestle. He’s done I think three matches now, and I finally watched the Crown Jewel match. I was so proud of the fact that I didn’t watch it because I hate Crown Jewel. It’s just the goofiest.

It’s a tricky thing. I get why they did it, right. I get why they brought Mr. T to WrestleMania. But I’m not a fan of it, like I would rather see wrestlers wrestle. I didn’t like that he videoed himself doing a Frog Splash. How serious are you, this is the old-school mentality, how serious are you about winning the WWE Championship if you’re going to hold a phone and video yourself doing a Frog Splash?

It should be a singular [focus]. Again, it’s an old-school mentality, and I’m not saying it’s right. I’m just saying it’s mine. How serious are you about winning, if you don’t have a singular focus on winning. [Chris mentions Hulk Hogan flexing]. It’s not, the flex was to power him up. You know, like, show you how into it he is. Whereas this is like, ‘I’m gonna bring everyone into my social media page and get even more followers while I do this.'”
