Before you can catch them all, you have to know them all.
Freddie Prinze Jr served as a writer and coach in WWE for multiple stints in WWE, first in 2008 and then returning in 2010.
While speaking to Tony Khan on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Prinze Jr. recalled being in promo class with AJ Lee and Trent Beretta and having no idea what they were talking about.
"It was my second stint at WWE and I'm just running, basically, an acting class. The same techniques we would do, just repetition. 'Tony, it's a pleasure to meet you,' you're locked into those words. 'It's a pleasure to meet me?' We go back and forth until someone feels so stupid they have to change the line, whoever changes the line loses. Miz would kill at that kind of stuff. Trent was in there with AJ (Lee). They were going to do repetition. They did repetition, but it was Pokemon. I was too old, I didn't know what Pokemon was. He goes, 'Hey, that's a sweet Raichu.' She goes, 'That's a sweet Raichu?' It's going back and forth and I literally look over to Big Show [Paul Wight] and (Matt) Cardona and I went, 'what the fuck is a Raichu?' Big Show popped too loud. I go, 'You guys, what are you talking about right now?' They were literally going back and forth about a Pokemon, that was my introduction to Pokemon," he said.
Prinze Jr. went on to praise AJ Lee for now, in his words, running WOW Women's of Wrestling and writing Hollywood scripts.
Trent is currently signed to AEW and is part of the Best Friends. Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
