    In all the years I've been watching videos on UA-cam, this was the first interview I've watched in it's entirety without skipping forward or getting bored with.
    I was fully engaged and invested in everything that was said. I'm actually surprised by how intriguing I found this interview, not even gonna lie.
    Anyway, you sir broke me, broke my streak of not watching full interviews, good job lol.

    I have to say CVV this is one of the best interviews I have seen on your channel. Freddie is one of the most down to earth normal everyday person you would meet on the street. I was planning to watch only 20mins and watch this in parts over a few days but I watched it in one sitting. Awesome Thanks again :)

    I feel like MJF studied what made Roddy piper so good, that dude wrote so many things down, taking bits and pieces from everything he heard and seen, then when time came with the spotlight, he had already so much material ready to spit out.

  • @smeagolbeagle2316
    @smeagolbeagle2316 Рік тому +3

    I love how some major stars like Freddy or Billy Corgan give you an hour of their time whilst others like "Eleven" can only give 4mins of theirs. Speaks volumes of who's real vs who's egos self-elevate themselves.

    I remember the days before UA-cam, Star Wars fans went to the theaters that was showing "Wing Commander" starring Freddie Prince Jr. to only watch the exclusive Star Wars - Episode 1 trailer and then would leave before the movie started. I actually thought "Wing Commander" wasn't that bad of a movie. This was a great interview with Freddie Prince Jr.

    @ryandeffley7652 Рік тому

    As a formal baseball player myself that was scouted as a pitcher, Summer Catch speaks to me. Plus Cape Cod is great!
    One thing I found very interesting is that FPJ put out a cookbook IRL and he's in a movie called Down to You where his character dreams of becoming a chef.
    Overall though, I really like FPJ because he's so down to earth and authentic. Plus him actually becoming a writer for the WWE is really damn cool. 💯

  • @OrphanHart
    @OrphanHart Рік тому

    I didn't know what to expect because I've never seen or heard FPJ speak outside of movies, but my God do I love this man now. He's so real, relatable, charming, intelligent, nerdy, open-minded, and knows what's wrong with modern society while still adapting to it. I also loved his comment when he said something along the lines of, "I don't know how I went on that tangent. I'm sorry for going on a side-quest".

    • @KrisBryant99
      @KrisBryant99 6 місяців тому

      Are you serious??? Freddie is the EXACT opposite of what you see and is part of what's wrong with society today. Like he barely seemed to enjoy talking to Chris and you could even see Chris struggling with that a bit. Like even I sometimes wonder what Sarah saw in him because he always seem tense and uptight about something but I guess opposites attract with some people.

  • @codyg2485

    Mannn, when I found out he was involved in writing for WWE I was very intrigued didn't know much about it but I was impressed that he was involved with that.
    But this interview just made me see this man in a whole new light, he seems like a down-to-earth genuine awesome guy... And that's saying a lot for someone that's basically been raised in the limelight.
    Great work and s always Chris!

    "Chico and the Man": the Man was the grandfather/grandpa in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (with Gene WIlder); that was a cool film; the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) remake directed by Tim Burton (with Johnny Depp as Wonka) = I didn't see that one yet; there is a new rebooted version too called "Wonka" (2023) with Timothe Chamalet (as Wonka) and Hugh Grant as a Oompa-Loompa; Freddie Prinze Sr. was on The Tonight Show (with Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon). Freddie (Prinze) Jr. is quite spot on, the generational gap of different pro wrestling eras (Generation X (1970's-1980's), Millennials/Gen Y: 1980's-1995's), Gen Z (1995-2010's) and Gen Alpha (2010's-now/the present day). "I feel that Everything has been Done in (pro) Wrestling." - Chris Van Vliet (CVV); I liked his take on the "Masked Magician" with the Magician's "spoiler reports". Freddie Prinze Jr. is trying to keep Kayfabe alive. I get it.
