Hollywood Star Announces He Is Starting His Own Wrestling Promotion

One more on the list? There are a lot of wrestling promotions in the world but only a few rise to prominence. It takes a lot of money, time and effort to make a promotion work and a lot of that comes down to the owner. If the right person is not behind the wheel, things can go badly in a hurry. Now someone you might have heard of before is throwing their hat into the ring.

Freddie Prinze Jr., an actor and former member of the WWE Creative team, has announced on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast that he is planning to start his own promotion. Prinze says that he hopes to have the promotion up and running in eighteen months but does not expect to get a TV deal right away. He hopes that his shows are about two hours each and wants men and women to have equal time. In addition, Prinze is hoping that the show will be a SAG show, meaning that everyone involved will be a member of the Screen Actors Guild.

Opinion: This is one of those things that might sound good on paper but it might be a lot more complicated than Prinze realized. A lot of people have tried to make an impact by starting their own promotion with far less lofty goals and come up short. Maybe Prinze can pull it off as he does have some additional resources, but this seems like something that is going to be rather difficult in a lot of ways.

What do you think of Prinze’s plans? How do you see it going? Let us know in the comments below.
