On a recent edition of his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. critiqued the Triple H-led WWE for not signing Will Ospreay.
Despite negotiating with WWE, Ospreay eventually signed with AEW thanks to Tony Khan offering him a bigger paycheck and the flexibility of working from the UK.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the WWE product: “Everything’s changing — it’s the ‘Triple H Era.’ We’ve really seen that over the last few weeks in the stories that they’ve been telling. Everybody’s getting a story now. … That has not [always] been the case, alright? Legado [Del Fantasma] and LWO would just be having matches. They wouldn’t be getting designated backstage segments, where they’re talking about the reason why they’re fighting.”
On where WWE has lacked: “The only places where they’ve dropped the ball a little is on getting talent. I think not getting Will Ospreay was a mistake, but outside of that, man — I can’t say enough good things about where wrestling is going.”
