Freddie Prince Jr. joins WWE?

Taken from the Hollywood reporter

(Freddie Prinze Jr. has taken on a behind-the-scene role on World Wrestling Entertainment's creative team.

The company said Wednesday that Prinze will contribute to WWE's weekly TV and monthly pay-per-view programs.
"Freddie Prinze Jr.'s passion, energy and creativity make him an excellent fit for WWE," said chairman Vince McMahon.

Chris McCumber, executive vp marketing digital & brand strategy at USA Network, which airs WWE programming, added: "Bringing on board an experienced Hollywood writer, actor and producer like Freddie Prinze Jr. will only increase the level of entertainment to millions of viewers and passionate WWE fans every Monday on USA.")

Is Freddie Prince Jr.’s career in that bad of shape that he has to settle for behind the scenes development in wrestling? What David Arquette was annoying, but at least he did it as a joke. But, this is just a bad career move, but so was doing Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

I’m seeing a lot of WTF reactions to this news, so you will probably see Freddie pull out of this deal because it makes him look desperate. PR people are like that

But on the other side, what does he have to offer to the WWE? Make bad storylines? They already make bad movies.

Could this just be another stupid stunt from WWE?

Hell, even Hulk Hogan, the man who's made many bad choices too, thinks it's a bad idea.

Oy,

I think at this point Hulk Hogan hasn't used all his goodwill capital in the community, so I don't think his opinion matters much in this situation.

You're right, but I think it's funny that the Hulk-ster thinks he still has enough goodwill to show up on shows and make statements.

Thanks for not noticing my typo btw... because you got exactly what I was saying.

Personally, I don't really have a problem with Freddie Prinze Jr. working a storyline on WWE. Granted I don't watch professional wrestling, but it is an entertainment medium nonetheless.

I have to wonder if someone from Freddie’s camp tried to talk him out of it. “Come on, Freddie, you can always do Wing Commander IV or something.”

I was a huge fan of wrestling back in the day and was a huge fan of Hulk Hogan. So, finding out he and his family are complete assholes is just a shame.

What makes me sad is finding out how many of the wrestlers I loved watching back in the mid-80's are dead now. It is a stunning number.

Yeah, it is stunning how many have passed away. It looks like Hogan is certainly one of the longest living ones from that era too.

I wonder how much was because of body enhancing drugs or drug use.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third It’s not really that funny. Shrek 3 isn’t very funny or entertaining. It’s not even a bad movie, it’s just boring. While the other two movies tried to give us some adult humor, with Dreamworks ripping Disney a new one in both movies, Shrek 3 simply doesn’t bother to be funny. I probably laughed three times during the entire time. The allure and humor of the first two films are gone in Shrek 3. So, who is to blame for this movie? It’s the screenwriters. The script is the reason this movie doesn’t work. The story is like that cheap soda you buy from a knock-off brand: it taste bland and doesn’t have that kick that the real sodas have. The jokes feel incomplete and dry. As I watched the movie, I came up with better jokes and storyline progressions than the actual movie. There was an ENTIRE subplot about King Arthur and his misadventures in high school cut from the film. Check the DVD for some very good deleted scenes that should have been left i...

That F'ed up story about Pierre Piper and her Boyfriend (An update for "shorty" in the main page. Shoutout. )

Image
At work, I asked a fellow dude about an adult actress.     I asked, “Who is that blond  pornstar  that has braces and looks like a younger sister to Elsa Jean?”   “Pierre Piper,” he replied with  certainty .    Well, this is one of those f'ed up stories .  PP, I mean Pierre Piper, is one of those  p ornstars  that has made it to meme status around the Internet.  She did that famous Interracial picture with the black guys surrounding her.  Whereas I find Elsa to be cute, I am a little more uneasy with seeing Pierre in scenes.  She has that small frame and braces that make me think Chris Hanson might show  up  at my house.  There are literal photos of her as an adult that make her look much-much younger and that’s disturbing.  There is a big difference between a Riley Reid and a Pierre Piper.     Anyway, one of the darker elements about PP is that she lost a child a few years back...
