SD Writer MIA?

[MikeRaw]

The feeling backstage is that the novelty of being a creative team writer for WWE has started to wear thin on Freddie Prinze, Jr. While the actor is still employed to the company, he has been to very few television tapings over the past six weeks.

Prinze, Jr. works under Michael Hayes on SmackDown and we almost never hear of anything he's doing.

Regarding the reason behind why Prinze, Jr. was even hired in the first place, a WWE insider wrote the following in Power Slam Magazine at the time of his hiring: "Vince announces his high-profile hire to the press as: "Freddie Prinze Jr.'s passion, energy and creativity make him an excellent fit for WWE." Most backstage insiders think that Vince is uninterested in Prinze's potential as a writer and simply wants the prestige and mainstream credibility that a Hollywood name brings to the WWE brand -- not to mention the potential of a cameo appearance from Sarah Michelle Gellar/Prinze on WWE television."

I thought after TNA that there was nothing I could care less about. Damn. Guess I was wrong. I nver thought it was for his passion anyways. Maybe get some of our BTB guys to send in some work for the E and we'll get legit passionate fans creatively writing for the E.

^ I second that notion. There are hundreds of Wrestling sites with hundreds of thousands of BTBers around the world doing their stuff. If the WWE ever opened their eyes they could find someone that they like and try and contact them.

But isn't Triple H a booker backstage? same as Dusty Rhodes? so what's the problem?

Triple H is a booker for himself. I never hear about Triple H creating an idea or feud for anybody else. I honestly always saw this as Freddie Prinze Jr. trying to get back in the spotlight after falling off the radar. Plus WWE got publicity out of it. The problem with the BTBers sending in stuff is that a majority of the BTB shows are based on matches and not setting up long term feuds and storylines.

I think WWE should ave milked him for all hes worth.

The least they could have done is listened to him, he may have given the writers some inspiriation or something. If he didnt come up with anything, they should have exploited him on TV.

I know it doesn't sound nice, but whats the point in paying him a wage if he isnt doing anything!

Hollywood writers cannot write good wrestling. That's a fact. They know nothing about what makes a good feud, how wrestling works, or even what the fans would like to see.

In Prinze's defence he was apparently a long time fan. So that's not really a factor here.

You guys are hilarious if you actually think that the WWE should browse forums to hire people that book fantasy wrestling shows on the internet.

 

[Great One]

Rofl at people saying Triple H is a booker.

Do you know what a fact is?
