Former WWE Name Discusses ‘Beauty’ Of MJF & William Regal AEW Storyline

WWE

A former WWE name has discussed the “beauty” of the MJF and William Regal storyline in AEW.

On the October 18 edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF confronted William Regal and revealed the story of Regal rejecting him after his WWE tryout at the age of 19. Regal responded by bemoaning MJF’s complaints and telling him to prove himself.

It was a deeply captivating segment that received praise from fans and critics alike, including a former WWE name.

On the latest edition of “Wrestling With Freddie”, former WWE writer and Hollywood actor Freddie Prinze Jr. discussed the segment and storyline between Maxwell Jacob Friedman and William Regal.

In regards to Friedman, Prinze Jr. said:

“When I look back at my career at 26 years old compared to what this dude is at 26 years old, like, I was sh*t, and I was the top dog at 26. I was getting every script before anybody else. I was getting higher paychecks than anybody else from my generation and I was nowhere near the level that this dude is at right now.”

The former WWE writer continued on to discuss what he thought was beautiful about the story, saying:

“Something also that I found very beautiful about this story (MJF and William Regal) is sort of the hatred of this older generation towards millennials, and the hate is real. To all you young people out there, that hate is real. I love you guys. I’m 46. I’m kinda in the middle. I get both sides.”

Prinze Jr. further discussed the older generation’s hatred towards millenials, saying:

“Not to go off on a weird non-wrestling tangent here, but I just want you to know the hate you’re receiving from these older people is real. They don’t feel that you’re having to work as hard as they did coming up. They hate the fact that you can make millions of dollars on YouTube and Twitch and TikTok and not have a boss telling you that your sh*t and not good enough while at the same time not realizing that they never had to deal with social media and the pressures of hundreds of thousands and millions of fans telling you that your sh*t and not good enough, and kill yourself, and you suck, and you shouldn’t play video games, or you shouldn’t do this. They hate you and they put zero effort into understanding the sh*t that y’all have to go through.”

MJF is scheduled for a promo segment on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. He will go on to challenge for the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley at Full Gear on November 19.
