great interview, it was a cool different take and outlook on the business. thanks Chris!
probably one of the most intelligent perspectives on wrestling I've ever heard, he understands its a subjective sport/entertainment medium and a match can be 'good' or 'bad' based on the perspective of the viewer, its just a matter of shaping the product in such a way that it can sustain and grow an audience while netting a profit.
Hey bro! Are you Superman's younger brother? You look just like him. By the way I admire your interviews. When you asked the Rock about Sting returning to wrestling. Epic question
great interview!
I love your interviews as you know but this might have been one of the best and deepest interviews ever. Not only that but this guy has similar interests as me and involved in 2 of my favourite things film & wrestling and he seems so down to earth
Freddie is so enthusiastic about literally everything and it's so refreshing
It’s hard not to love it!
He is a far-left fraud who supports evil.
@@StarshipGhost sounds like another reason to love him
@@DCtheDemonChild Enjoy that karma.
@@StarshipGhost no such think as evil its just peoples morals that change under pressure 😂
Freddie is like a real life Gohan. Son of an influential figure, raised and trained by the biggest badasses in the world, married to another martial artist. Even back in his teen movie days he looked like high school arc Gohan!
Great comparison
Gohan is also coming back in the new DBZ movie ;)
@@YourXellency hopefully gohan doesn’t let us down since he has alot of catching up to do. (Compared to goku/Vegeta)
You can tell his stories are 100% facts. No bs. Always respected this guy.
Chris Van vliet you have to have him on your podcast again he's got so much more he can offer and his stories are amazing.
Agreed
Freddie should start his own podcast
I could listen to this guy tell stories all day, he's got a huge knack for it. No wonder he was on the writing team
Chris is such an amazing interviewer doesn't interrupt and just letd them tell stories. Doesn't try to hog the spotlight at all. Thank you Chris
This guy has a great uplifting personality. He’s great at telling stories!
"Emmy's are what they are but wrestling belts are better." - Freddie Prinze Jr.
I wanna get that quote on a t-shirt lol
Chris is the before image, freddie is his after image when he's older. 😅😭
Hahahaha I laughed out loud
Or on meth.
@@EmoEmu you think Freddie on something?
Freddie Prinze Jr. delivering a good Richard Pryor impression was something I damn sure wasn't expecting.
This is by far my favorite interview Chris has done. I could easily listen to Freddie for hours on end.
I need more of Freddie Prinze Jr. talking about wrestling, either his stories or his views about the current product.
He has a podcast.
I been a wrestling fan over 20 years and I never knew Freddie Prinze was a writer and producer for WWE!
This guy is like if a golden retriever turned into a human. I LOVED his enthusiasm and this entire interview. This was probably your best, CVV. Incredible stuff!
It’s wild the passion that he has for pro wrestling. He is probably the only person that makes me excited to want to watch Raw at the moment. It’s a shame he’s not working in any pro wrestling promotion, even though he’s probably still sending guys promos lol.
I'll be honest with you Chris. I've loved all your interviews.... but when Freddie was talking about having milk and cookies with his Dad that hit home. Freddie is such a great genuine guy just like you! Thank you for making my day.
Chris man have him back. Fpj was never really on my radar... nothing against him... just has never been in much I was interested in, but damn his stories were amazing, and I was hooked on every word.
Such a humble awesome attitude. I will be waiting for his return to your show! Very grateful for this conversation!
Interviews with Freddie Prinze Jr. are ALWAYS great. Every time I see them.
That was simply fucking amazing....I could have listened to another 3 hours.
This was awesome. Freddie’s such a down to earth guy who’s incredibly passionate about his work. Incredible interview
Thanks for checking it out!
I could listen to Freddie talk about his time with WWE for hours, he's simply amazing (also can't forget about the memories with Scooby-Doo in my childhood! 😉), but that story right at the end with his daughter really hit hard. I was raised by a single parent, and my father was a jerk (probably still is). He cheated on my mom and left her with thousands of debt when I was four. Having gone through my own childhood and knowing my experiences, I feel like it would make me a better father to my own kids; as Freddie said, it showed him what to do and what to not do. It sounds so simple, but it goes much deeper than words can truly express.
That is hands down the best interview I have ever seen. CVV and FPJ seem like old friends just chatting it up. I could listen to FPJ talk for hours.
I may disagree with his views on The Attitude Era but I respect that the man appreciates good build and storytelling. His less is more attitude is what wrestling needs more today. The guy seems genuine too. His father a great actor and comedian. Seemingly a charmer too from the stories told. He definitely has his father's charm when he speaks.
Bring him on once a month! This was legitimately refreshing.
I'd like to nominate this for one of the top 5 interviews of 2021 video. What an awesome interview! Please do this one again. I could listen to him talk about pro wrestling all day! Such an amazing story and really hit me with the milk and cookies story. #BeGrateful
Chris - you've had A LOT of incredible interviews.....this was the greatest one.
Please get him to return sometime. I was absolutely enthralled the entire time.
Freddie is so entertaining and real. That was a great interview.
I'm so upset I'm only just now watching this interview, it's by far one of if not my absolute favorite CVV interview and I think more people NEED to see this
This is the man that wrote the jeff hardy 08-09 run??? WOW wtf you made a lot of peoples childhood great
52:18
Oh wow, I had no idea that Freddie wrote the promos for Jeff during the lead up to his title win at Armageddon. I remember watching that vividly. Jeff was so insanely over with the crowd back then, it was amazing. And then I remember watching his first entrance on SmackDown as the champion. It was so cool to see the joy on everyone's faces.
I'm always down to listen to Freddie Prinze he's a good storyteller, nice interview 👍
this interview had it all. emotional, funny, informative. gotta have this guy on again
That Milk and Cookies story man. Fantastic conversation, really refreshing to see someone from the world Freddie came from be so open, real and enthusiastic in an interview like this. Great job Chris!
Freddie just seems like the true Realest Guy in the room. What an awesome dude.
This dude is contagiously positive.
It's actually hard not to have fun watching this. I feel happy when he talks.
This is my absolute favourite interview of yours. You two get on great and Freddy has a great balance between telling great stories and providing great intelligence to his points.
Good grief what an amazing storyteller Freddie is. I LOVED this so much. Really do hope you have him back on.
I love Freddie more so than I ever did now after this interview. A genuinely happy, grateful family man with good values. Thank you Chris for this lovely interview man!
Nothing but respect to Freddie and his love for wrestling such a normal down to earth guy you need To have him back on such a great interview
This is such a great interview! Please bring him back on at some point.
FPJ and David Arquette give me the same vibes.
Ok I know I'm not the only one who felt that way
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Arquette were in Scream 2. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddy Prince were in the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" series. And then there were Jennifer Love Hewitt and Special Officer Doofy and the Scary Movie series ..... Man, all those late 90's teenie spooky movies shared some same actors, it's all very confusing. And in the movies Freddy Prince was Love Hewitt's boyfriend, in reality he is Gellar's boyfriend. And Arquette was not Doofy. I thought he was Doofy. ^^
It doesn't hurt that they kinda look the same as well
They should totally do a movie together.
Best interview ever!!!! This was so eye opening and entertaining. I have an all new respect for FPJ. You really need a part 2 with him. I have a feeling there is so much more.
I always liked the cheesy teen movie's Fredie Prinze Jr was in, but then throughout the years I saw him taking on nerdy cameos on things because it was genuinely him coming through in a spot. Knowing he is a huge wrestling nerd and was a part of the business makes him a legend to me. This has got to be my favorite interview off all time.
Phenomenal interview. Loved this. I wonder if he was talking about Matt Hardy and the Broken Universe when he couldn't get too specific.
As a lifelong wrestling fan, and working in entertainment, FPJ’s career trajectory always fascinated me. Thanks so much for getting this interview Chris!! Take care, and be safe sir.
FPJ sounds like he has lived 3 lives already and it's starting his 4th one haha so awesome! I'm glad he's doing well. Thanks CVV!
Great video! lol it does look like you’re interviewing your future self.
FPJ: "I don't know how vulgar I can be on your thing here."
CVV: "Dude whatever it's the internet." 😭😭😭
Freddy is so pastonate still about wrestling
I already want a part 2..amazing interview
CVV, this might have been one of the most genuine and just enjoying yourself interview in a long time
I may be late to the party, but I just subbed on Spotify for the podcast.
You rock! Thanks Herman!
@@ChrisVanVliet for sure!
I hope you guys get to talk more together. Always loved Freddie. You guys have a real positive energy!
I was not expecting such a fun, insightful, and hilarious interview from FPJ, who I now feel is super underrated.
Boy this interview aged really well with Vince's retirement. Freddie is like a psychic or something, almost everything he mentioned came true
Loved it so much, came back to watch it again. This interview uplifts my spirits
I couldn’t quite figure out why I loved this interview so much other than fpj being charismatic as hell and I think it comes down to the fact that fpj has so much obvious passion about everything he does. I mean what a joy to listen to. And of course cvv was great as always. But man hearing someone who is so clearly happy and passionate about their life speak is just a great pleasure
this is the best interview yet! FP Jr tells great stories, great talker and such an interesting life
Chris you’re the best interviewer ever, Freddie Prince Jr. holds a special place in my heart being Fred in Scooby Doo and you just let him talk about these stories without interrupting once! This is the best interview ever thank you man!!
Freddy should start his own podcast with his wife aka Daphne and they're first guest should be Scooby Doo
That was one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve ever seen you have. It’s so nice to always see you just have a conversation and really ask the things that I myself would ask given the opportunity. Excellent work sir!
Chris I just got to say I've watched practically all of your videos and I want to just give a shout out to Freddie ....I truly enjoy listening to his stories and the guy really comes across is so real and honest. You can also tell he is a true love for the art and craftsmanship that goes into building a good wrestling match and a good storyline. Great, great interview as always keep up the good work.
Chris should've been like "HEY WHERE'S SCOOB!"
Freddy prince is always fun to watch. He's an amazing guest.
I really enjoyed this interview. Ive been calling FPJ’s name for a few weeks now, reflecting on his blond days on Scooby Doo. It’s so awesome to hear him now. So humble and a realist. Thanks for sharing.
I know I'm late. I came here to see what FPjr was up to and was going to bounce. I realized, like everyone else, he's a fantastic story teller. Poetic, philosophical and funny. I was literally hypnotized. Very nice.
What a sweet man.Great stories from a guy that knows a lot of them!
I'd honestly listen to you interview him forever. He gives such incredible insight to everything he's taken part in and tells the stories extremely well (no suprise)
More. Please.
Comes across like a great dude who’s really passionate about wrestling.
Freddie is a realist. Maybe Thats what the community within Star Wars really needs...
I mean he voiced Kanan Jarrus in Rebels so there's that 🤷🏿♂️
You can really tell how passionate Freddie is. Great interview! I am now myself an Albuquerque native!
Chris don’t know if you look back at these old comment threads but please consider having Freddie Prince Jr on again someday soon if he’s open to doing so I’ve found myself watching this a second time all these months later and enjoying it just as much
I’m a few years older than Freddie and grew up a fan of his father and the era of Bruce Lee , Muhammad Ali , Richard Pryor and all the things he speaks of in fact i listen to his father on the radio under covers after bedtime on my transistor radio as they were broadcasting The Presidents inaugural ball
My Mom passed away very young around the same time as his father so that time period remains very real and colorful in my mind and i have allot of respect for who Freddie jr has become and of course sharing a love for pro wrestling i obviously enjoy those stories I’d love to hear a bit more of the history of wrestling he grew up on as a fan and what he enjoyed the most and fun stories along the way
Thanks again Chris for another Great Guest and Great Interview
Merry Christmas to you and yours and continued success throughout your career and life
Your Positivity to the wrestling world and life in general is both commended and appreciated beyond what you know
This interview was WAY better then I expected. It has literally everything.
Next interview Sarah Michelle Gellar please
I will always remember this dude as fred from scooby Doo
This was a great interview. Did not know that Freddie did karate and jiu-jitsu. As well as being a writer for wwe
Comes across as such a good bloke!!
CVV looks like he's talking to his cousin.
FrFr 😂😂😂
32:51
CVV and FPJ
Amazing interview! Did not think this was going to be as good as it was. I could have listened to you guys talk for another hr lol
This is the reason why I love extended interviews and podcast, you get to learn and get more inspired by the person. Wow what an interview, it felt like 15 mins instead of over an hour.
this has been fantastic. great conversation, looking forward to the next one
Me too!
freddie prince jr is the national treasure to nerd culture we all deserve (by nerd culture i mean EVERYTHING from games, star wars, wrestling ect) the whole thing about writing for talent as THEM and write things THEY would say, the lack of writers being able to do this is the biggest issue with wwe promos right now! the writers are just writing words, not writing as the character rather they just write some generic shit they think a "pro wrestler" would say. most of those writers has never seen more than a few minutes of wrestling their entire lives b4 getting the job.. if they can hire the writers who could for example, watch tape on whoever they get assigned to write for, truly make an effort to get to kno them on a "no gimmick" personal level during catering or whatever free time they have backstage, then as soon as they feel like they have a good grasp on that individual (real personality AND gimmick) only then should they put pen to paper! or hear me out, let the talent come up with their OWN promos!!! ain't that a novel idea!! il tell u what ain't no one gonna be able to write for john cena as the "thuganomics" character better than cena himself can. stone cold Steve Austin and the rock might never have made it out of the Midcard had they been forced to recite a script!! roman reigns didn't get over until they just let him be. the problem is they don't need stars anymore, stars are bad for business and have too much power.. this is the real reason the show is bad.
Why am I barely seeing this. Omg this interview is great I’m just starting it but omg 13 mins in and I’m intrigued. Love the INSIGHT!!! Thanks yet again Chris!!
Thanks James!
So many great stories and I love his energy and how passionate he is about everything, you can see it in his eyes.
Chris, This was the best interview you've done. I absolutely love this.
Great interview!! Freddy is very likable and easy to root for. Really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Freddie seems like a super cool and chill dude. Great interview.
one of the best interviews I've seen on this channel. very insightful and charming
Amazing interview CVV! Super insightful (pun intended). I hope FPJ divulges even more about his experiences in the future. The man is an incredibly talented storyteller and it's awesome to see how much passion he has. Crazy to hear him validate how much of a madhouse the WWE creative process is.
Such a great interview!!! I love all the name drops but he is so genuinely greateful for everyone and giving them props. Such a standup dude! 🥰
Every time I hear FPJr., my own passion for wrestling is reignited. I love his energy for this...
Absolutely glued to the screen. FPJ just gave one of the best interviews I've ever seen, holy cow 😄.
And true kudos to you Chris, a great skill not interviewer has, the ability to know when *not* to talk.
This interview is a whole lot of awesome.
Thanks for sharing this it makes me respect Freddie a whole lot and how he is a fantastic human being
Such a great interview. Overall amazing human being and I wish he could come back and write for WWE.
You both look so much alike. Looking forward to this interview, just like all your interviews.
5 minutes into this convo, you can already tell this is THE BEST CONVERSATION EVER!!!!!!!!!
Just got done listening to this. Can this be a podcast or something more constant? It was so fun!
This is an awesome interview! Freddie was far more open about his WWE experiences than I expected him to be.
