Freddy Prinze Doing Well, WWE Upset With Lack of Latinos DVD Rankings

By • September 25, 2008

- According to the Wrestling Observer, recent addition to the WWE creative team, Freddy Prinze Jr. has adjusted remarkably well to his new non Hollywood position. He is said to be grasping the product well and getting on with the rest of the workforce well.

Prince Jr. and other writers Christopher DeJosephs and John Carle are at the bottom of the totem poll on Smackdown, having to suggest ideas, of which Michael Hayes decides on which should be pitched to Vince McMahon for his approval. Prinze is also consulted in regards to to certain “Hollywood” related matters and is also being used to plug WWE to the entertainment industry.

- WWE are said to be frustrated with the lack of Latinos in the company now that they have great deals with Mexican TV. The initial plan was to sign several Lucha Libre stars as early as the draft to help counteract the loss of Mysterio (at the time) and to build up their Mexican market. Months later they still haven’t gotten anybody under contract after several tryouts, despite the new TV deals. The impact WWE will have on their debut will now be less that what it would have been with Mexican stars on the roster.
