Former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently appeared on an episode of The Masked Man Show, where he talked about a number of topics including how he got the job with the company.
Prinze Jr. said, “It was not the plan going in. The plan was, I met this lady at a WWE event, Ric Flair’s last match, well his last match at that point … He’s like Barbara Streisand and her final tour every 10 years. But I met this lady, and we were talking wrestling and she said, ‘You need to meet my boss.’ I said, ‘Who’s your boss?’ She said, ‘Stephanie [McMahon].’”
On Stephanie McMahon suggesting he meet Vince McMahon:
“I go and I meet Vince, and I had a great conversation with him and I kind of got offered the job in the room and just said ‘yes’ before I even spoke to Sarah [Michelle Geller] ’cause it just felt perfect and it felt right.”
