During the latest edition of his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. commented on his issues with the creative direction for Bryan Danielson in AEW these days, as well as the segment on Monday’s episode of RAW involving The Miz and Mustafa Ali, which he called “cringeworthy.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how AEW should be handling Bryan Danielson for events: “Bryan Danielson has been under-serviced as far as character development and story goes. I feel like he has been under-serviced in his matches. I feel like he’s lost more matches than he’s needed to lose. I feel like his motivation for wrestling hasn’t been written as well as it could be written. … It’s become a part of his backstage interviews, where there is a little bit of people questioning his motivation and not his toughness, so to speak, but just his reasoning and rational, and this son-of-a-bitch has had enough.”
On his disbelief that Mustafa Ali agreed to the segment with The Miz on RAW: “They put him in a backstage segment with The Miz where they had him check The Miz’s testicles twice and comment on them twice, and wrote the worst backstage segment that I’ve seen in I don’t know how many months. [The segment] made him look like crap, made Miz sell a jaw in order for Mustafa Ali to get the win, and made Miz get attacked by Dexter Loomis again in order for Mustafa Ali to get the win. I don’t know how the dude says, ‘Yeah, okay, I’ll do this segment.’ I just don’t. I don’t get it.”
On the overall tone of Monday’s RAW: “Man, I was really wanting to like this guy [Ali] and then that segment came out on Halloween and I was just like, maybe it’s because it’s the Halloween show and they’re putting pumpkins on Otis’ head and all that.”
