Former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently appeared on an episode of The Masked Man Show, where he talked about a number of topics including how he got the job with the company.

Prinze Jr. said, โ€œIt was not the plan going in. The plan was, I met this lady at a WWE event, Ric Flairโ€™s last match, well his last match at that point โ€ฆ Heโ€™s like Barbara Streisand and her final tour every 10 years. But I met this lady, and we were talking wrestling and she said, โ€˜You need to meet my boss.โ€™ I said, โ€˜Whoโ€™s your boss?โ€™ She said, โ€˜Stephanie [McMahon].’โ€

On Stephanie McMahon suggesting he meet Vince McMahon:

โ€œI go and I meet Vince, and I had a great conversation with him and I kind of got offered the job in the room and just said โ€˜yesโ€™ before I even spoke to Sarah [Michelle Geller] โ€™cause it just felt perfect and it felt right.โ€
