Freddie Prinze Jr. appears to be doing everything right in regards to his new wrestling promotion.
The former WWE writer has stated repeatedly how he intends to start his own wrestling promotion. Since revealing this news, we have found out more information, including that it will start in around eighteen months. One person who knows how to grow a wrestling promotion from scratch is Cody Rhodes and Prinze Jr. understood that.
Prinze Jr. recently appeared on “Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw,” where he gave details on the wrestling promotion:
“I’m already real estate shopping, I’m already looking to own a place where I can have a venue where it’s not too big, where it’s not too small. I bought a lighting kit from the Fox boxing crew. They were replacing their old one and it was like a $38,000 rig and I got it for six grand. I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that [or] if they’re allowed to sell it. But it’s in storage. I’ve already got a lot of things that I want for it.”

Prinze would also go into detail on the advice he has received from Cody Rhodes, who helped to build AEW from the ground up.
“I have a friend who literally has run the CW for the last 20 years. And they have a really good business model in place. It’s how they maintain all those DC shows for so long. And I asked a lot of questions to a lot of people and I’ve been asking a lot of wrestlers as well and people who have built things you know, I spoke to Cody. And I’ve spoken to Cody multiple times. So it’s a lot to learn, but I feel like I’m going slow and steady and I’m learning it the right way.”
