Damn who ever knew he’d be the sole reason why a ton of kids dreams came true in 2008
@Versatile Wolf it’s called having a childhood
A scooby doo actor helped Jeff get a title hmm
@@OffDeGanja hmm
The biggest mystery he solved
Facts. That shit was awesome.
I'm so happy that Jeff won that day. Screw the people in those meetings going against him, Hardy deserves the Title 100%
They weren't wrong, how many times has Jeff fucked up now?
@@wright1192 Hard Disagree
@@ScarKnight. i mean he was literally just let go and still refuses help, how many fuck ups need to happen for you to drop the nostalgia of him?
No tf he doesn't
@@thegreenjem7336 Hard Disagree lol
Had no idea Freddy quit solving mysteries and wrote for the WWE for a bit. What a great talent
Let's split up gang and look for clues!
The guy in romantic comedies and who played Freddie from scooby doo writes for WWE
Lmao
Weak
He’s done a lot of things you don’t know about last summer as well … ALOT OF THINGS
Jeff was a bonafide star. We saw him job as a Teen to become a main eventer. His merch sales were topping Cena, HBK, Taker Etc. They got it right.
I never thought I would owe the guy who starred in, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (Freddie Prince Jr.) a thank you for helping my Superman as a young teen win the title of "World Champion"... Thank you, Freddie from every Jeff Hardy fan.
Thank you Freddie for making my childhood dream come true. Jeff winning the wwe title is the best moment of my life watching wrestling
He did a good job for doing that and once u show vince mcmahon the merchandise sales of a particular superstar, vince will give that superstar the title
I HAD NO CLUE Freddie wrote for WWE!!!! Just shows how much talent he really has!!!
He is also a jedi!
Jeff Hardy really was in his prime in 08-09
Things I learned today: Freddie Prinze JR was a writer for WWE
Jeff Hardy is the only person to out sell John Cena in merch during Cenas peak!
06 DX merch was pulling in CASH.
I had no idea Fred was working there. Awesome stuff.
He didn't work there long long sadly
Big respect to freddie for this man.
Thank you so much.
2008 was a HOT year for Jeff.
Thank you soo much Freddie...
And he is the host of wwe rivals
Thank you, Freddie. This was big for Jeff, but will always remain a huge inspiration for all of us who were kids at the time and wanted our hero to win. Jeff standing on that platform with the rightly-earned title is one of the biggest inspirational scenes of my life. So glad this happened.
After seeing "She's all that" in the 90s, I never imagined I would see Freddie doing wrestling shoot videos in 2021
I remember being in High School in 2009 and hoping that I could convince my mom to order the PPV of WWE Armageddon 2009 because I really wanted to watch the Triple Threat match between Edge vs Triple H vs Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship.
the fact that I couldn't was heart breaking, but finding out the next day in school was probably the highlight of my day when a friend showed me a newspaper clipping of the results of the show cause I also couldn't wait to watch that week's episode of Smackdown! So I humbly appreciate FPJ for that storyline! 😄
Great story! Glad you shared
That Armageddon ppv happened in 2008, but anyways great story man
"If they see me react they will take it away because they're psychos like that" - Freddie prince Jr
That's some next level psychological warfare
Mental Jiu-Jitsu
Yea it literally impossible to work their long term cause it mentally exhausting especially from a writer point of view
I know! An entire man's life long dream depended upon a "non reaction". That's absolutely f***ed
@@WrestlingIsReal649 why do think cornette got tired imagine loving wrestling but they made you hate it
That moment Jeff wins the WWE title gives me goosebumps, the crowd reaction was great
Jeff Hardy is one of the most over talents of all time. Plain and simple. Even when he just left, he was getting some if the biggest pops despite how shitty his booking was. Something about him fans just gravitate too
The man was beating John Cena in sales merch, the face of the company of the new millennium. That tells it all. If he had consistency his status would be consensual
My guess he’s just humble. The dude loves his fans and vice versa.
I think cause he was kinda just a guy like the rest of us. No insanely muscular body, not extremely attractive, no ego, just a badass daredevil
WWE needs this dude back to write ✍
True but he is a wrestling fan so that is why WWE let him go he also revealed why WWE hates tag team,and confirmed the Bray thing that Vince went cold on him because Bray wanted to have more control
Facts
Mah
Nahh it's so crazy how popular Jeff was before they even put a title on him. Always was my favourite wrestler
This was an AMAZING interview, I've always loved Freddie Prince Jr.
This interview was insane, loved his energy personality, love the fact that he knows he's blessed but he tells stories like all his life everything has always been awesome. Everyday 100% on everything.
You mean to say you've never had a bad day?! Even when someone else was an a hole?! No everyone has been awesome all the time?!
Anyways love him, a natural story teller,
Turely gifted !!! And cldnt happen to a better guy.
More power to you bro.
Pray for all the happiness in the world for you and your and your family.
Wrestling is a better place because of this decision. Thanks for giving Jeff and us this moment.
I wanna thank Freddie for this because that moment was a highlight of my childhood
As a 9 year old, I was the the most stoked kid on Earth when Jeff won. It’s a memory that still sticks with me today, and I wasn’t even there!
@Versatile Wolf ?
Jeff Hardy is the 🐐
He’s so passionate when even just talking about the gig. Anyone who’s this animated discussing their work was meant for it
Freddie if youre reading this… thank you. You are a legend for this.
Literally my favorite story in Pro Wrestling ever... Jeff Hardy... King of Ruthless Aggression
I remember being so relieved and happy when Jeff won because we wanted it so badly and he had lost all his other chances,he was the TRUE underdog.Before Daniel Bryan we had Jeff Hardy.
FPJ looks like an older version of CVV
I’ll take it! Haha
Every kid grew up trying to do swantons like Jeff Hardy
I didn't know fpj was behind all that man that whole Jeff hardy championship storyline was amazing even if it didn't last as long as it should of genuis
4:11 never have words been so true today they really dont want to show emotions were it's not needed.
You don't understand Jeff hardy had us in a chokehold during 2008 because every championship match we sitting on the edge of our seat waiting for him to win the wwe championship but he was always one second away. Armageddon 2008 was a great way to end his 2008 wwe championship chase all the way from royal rumble of that year to the end.
Best decision EVER made! Jeff had the most memorable TITLE win of anyone EVER!
What’s awesome is when he’s saying some stuff about Jeff I could almost hear it coming straight from Jeff’s mouth, goes to show how much he knows Jeff and how much of what he’s wrote has bled onto the screen as the Jeff we know
I personally have never been a fan of the idea of tv writers in wrestling but i think having it be a more collaborative talking points approach instead of handing someone a script and telling them to memorize it is a much better way to go about it.
It’s crazy that people fought that decision.
I was so happy for Jeff winning. Best birthday present ever.
Wow that is so crazy that this is the same guy that was in some of those teen bopper movies in the 90s/2000s. Thanks for the awesome story. Seeing Hardy win was so amazing. I was hoping he would eventually get the belt again but looks like that won't happen 😕
Thumbnail looks like CVV talking to an older version of himself
👯♀️
If jeff wasnt haunted by his own demons he would be up there in the greatest of all time conversation:(
Respect on the booking
I thank this man from all my heart for giving us the best championship victory of all time
Freddy should be the head writer of WWE we need a WWE writer today who is good as Freddy Prince
I knew Freddie wrote for the WWE but didn’t know he wrote probably the most important wrestling storyline for me as a kid lol.
As a 10 year old watching Jeff Hardy finally winning the WWE Championship meant a lot especially in my generation no matter the downfall you can still get back up and win it all. I gotta thank Freddie Price Jr. for writing that story for Jeff even with the trouble situations he’s on the news he made if memorable and still remembering it to this day.
Wow awesome loved it the vibe was good
His impressions be on point 💯😂😂😂😂
PS Hayes really loves Jeff.
In a short time Freddie wrote some amazing stuff.
It’s crazy that Fred works for WWE 😂
My all time favorite.
Thank you FPJ for being responsible for making my childhood dream comes true.
freddie doesn’t get enough credit, bro was the only one making good stories
Dude, Freddie made a bajillion Jeff Hardy fans' dreams come true, myself included. Sure, Jeff kinda did himself in. But , we had our moment. Jeff , horrible mic skills and all, got to flip the bird to everyone. Prime Jeff Hardy was one of the toughest, most beautiful workers in wrestling. You could never call him ' the best wrestler', because he was so outside of the box that he was his own category. And that's not harping on him. RVD was very similar in that we'd never seen anything like it. Purists hated them, underdogs LOVED them. I still root for Jeff as a person, and wish I could slap him around to knock some sense into him. We coulda had so much more. Hell, we still might. But the clock is ticking, and if he never figures that out, we can still say we got to see our hero as Champion of the World.
If Jeff or anyone he knows ever sees this: I'd rather see Jeff in a Hall of Fame Speech than a fk'n Dark Side of the Ring episode. That is not hyperbole, and please don't dismiss it as such. Thank you Jeff, and thank you Freddie.
Can honestly say that Jeff Hardy winning the WWE championship is my fondest moment in wrestling.
Man i love jeff story's
Someone needed to book jeff to win that belt. I mean so many useless ppl had it, he actually at the time was worth it. I remember undertaker hardy ladder match, I thought this is hardy's push
2:00 isnt this the promo he cut against undertaker the night of their extreme rules match?
Yeah it was in Manchester not London.
He does the mimicking better, always loved his performance on Scooby-Doo movies 😊
"Jeff Hardy has realized a dream of a lifetime! ... From daredevil to champion, enigma to icon."
Never did I think that Freddie Prinze Jr. had a pivotal role for such a big moment in one of the most popular talents to be seen in a WWE ring.
Lookin like twins
Almost but didn't mention it? Has to be Del Rio.
😂 him avoiding talking about Del Río was funny
I don’t think I can describe how I much loved Jeff. He was on a first name basis in my house. But now, I just try not to think about him.
Freddie Prinze Jr, ages gracefully, why is he still so you know, good looking?
I still say Jeff winning that wwe championship and the celebration afterwards on smackdown was my fav moments as a wrestling fan
I never knew Freddy P was so into wrestling. I love him so much more now. Wrestling fans are good people. You either get Wrestling or you don't.
Well deserved hopefully a similar situation can happen for La knight
Wow so it was cause of this guy that Jeff won the belt. I knew it from the start that none of the creative team wants Jeff as a Champion. It’s ridiculous! That also explains his very short reign. Jeff should never had come back. He deserves better. Still, Kudos to Freddie for helping him out.
There goes my hero
Chris is his stunt double lmfao
That’s Fred in Scooby Doo (2002) just figuring that out!!
3:33 this little Vince impression is so good
Freddie Prinze Jr has a great mind for the business, I'm impressed
This guy I don’t know about help facility teo of my best child hood memory’s. The Brian Kendrick and Jeff Hardy. Never knew o was such a bog fan of this guy until now
Fred Jones of Mystery Inc Books Jeff Hardy to win the WWE Championship.
Great video today
I’m Jeff Hardy pelvic dancing to this
FPJ has a mind for the buisness like Jake Roberts or Raven. Good guy
Thank you for influencing my childhood
I would love to know who it was that walked out
I am so happy he did that for little kid me.
1:29 Alberto?
I never knew freddie prinze worked for wwe untill this year, i thought he was an actor
Thank you so much Freddie for creating millions of childhoods for that! Jeff is my 2nd favorite of all time (after John Cena)! And I know, you can’t stand Cena, lol, but nonetheless thank you for giving Jeff Hardy the opportunity to win a WWE title.
That explains so much in today's wwe climate. To much cancer in wwe NTX And main roster taking hits like no tomorrow smh
But those people that were against Freddy probably still work there
Looks like Dude from home Alone
Bro deserved that title run & deserved a longer one, bunch of haters going against him…
The mexican dude that he didn't want to mention at 01:30 was definitely Alberto del Rio. :P
Never knew Freddy wrote for the WWE or the fact that he’s responsible for making Jeff Hardy champion.
Jeff Hardy never needed a title to feel important.
Freddie prince in 2000 and 2021
Need to do this for LA Knight next
He will always be Fred Jones to me
Hopefully Triple H brings back Freddie
That was one of the few really interesting builds and it happened in 09 I believe lol
Chris talking to Freddie.
