"I Gotta Pay Four Guys For One F**king Match" - Freddie Prinze Jr Reveals Vince McMahon's Thoughts On Tag Team Wrestling

Freddie Prinze Jr has recalled Vince McMahon taking exception to tag team wrestling in WWE, complaining that he had to pay four wrestlers for 'one f**king match'.

Prinze Jr was attempting to put a spotlight on the tag team division back in the late 2000s and was eager to get Harry Smith & TJ Wilson over as a duo, as well as The Usos.

However, the former WWE writer remembers WWE Chairman McMahon changing his perspective on the business by telling him how a tag team match meant double the pay-out.

Speaking on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast, he said: ""I connected with Harry a lot and I really want to get him and TJ (Wilson) over. I worked hard to do it. I failed those boys. I never got over that. I failed The Usos too.

"Tag team wrestling is tough. I remember Vince, I was working so hard on building up a tag team division and Vince said, 'Freddie, I gotta pay four guys for one f**king match.' I kind of went, 'Oh.' I had never looked at it like that.

"It's show business. I was in charge of the Colon Brothers, I named Primo, that was my name. It kind of changed my perspective on things and the way I approached storylines. I couldn't pitch for as much anymore."
