Hollywood actor Freddie Prinze Jr has revealed his plans to start his own wrestling company over the course of the next two years.
The 90s heartthrob – who used to work for WWE as a writer – has confirmed his ambitions to return to the wrestling ring during his promotion for his new podcast, Wrestling With Freddie.
But in order to pay for his new business venture, the 46-year-old has returned to acting after taking a break from his work on screen more than 20 years ago.
In his latest episode, the dad-of-two explained that he was raising the funds for his new business by taking on a key role in Netflix’s upcoming Christmas Quinceanera.
The star reignited his love for wrestling while watching a variety of promotions including GCW and old Ring Of Honor show which led to him toying with the idea of renting out a venue to host his own shows.
But after he got back into the acting business, Freddie said he is now looking into purchasing a permanent home for his new business venture and teased fans that he has now organised a “three-year plan” to achieves his dreams.
He explained: “It doesn’t have to make money for three years before I'm like, ‘Yo man, I gotta go do another damn movie’. I have to be in Scooby part seven or some crap like that to keep this floating.”
And it appears as though eager wrestlers are throwing themselves at the star after he previously mentioned his business idea in an interview on TV.
The doting husband to Sara Michelle Gellar continued: “Before I get into this, let me say something. Whether you were being real with me, or whether you were trying to troll and cr*p on me, thank you.
“Some of you wrote some stuff that was like – you took the time to not only say, ‘Hey, man, I would love to come and be a part. But here’s some wrestlers that I respect and I think you would, too’.
“And for you to take the time to do that – and it’s not just one cat that did that, that’s the most beautiful part of the wrestling community to me. I love that. That’s what acting used to be.”
As he expanded on his plans for the wrestling ring, he told fans how he hoped to have things in motion in the next two years.
He added: “I plan on having this thing up and running in 18 months. That’s my plan.
“I don’t know how long I want the show to be yet. I think I want a two-hour show, at least in the beginning. I doubt I’ll have a TV contract right away.
“So if I started off as live shows, and I film it by the way, if you want to know if I'm serious I already purchased a used light kit that was an arena kit used.
“I want my storylines based in reality, I want to give the women and the men equal time on the roster. Then the goal is to bring the show to television.”
