To follow up on earlier reports of Hollywood actor Freddie Prinze Jr. signing on with WWE to join the company's creative team, The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online is reporting that Vince and Stephanie McMahon are hoping it opens more doors to Hollywood and the assumption is that they would like to get Sarah Michelle Gellar for an angle. Prinze Jr. is said to be a huge wrestling fan, but it isn't believed he has the historical knowledge to understand what has and hasn't worked in the past. He was introduced to everyone at last night's tapings and reportedly impressed people with how excited and willing he was to contribute. Some entertainment news outlets are expected to pick up his hiring.

WWE.com has a clip of Mae Young working the "Kiss Cam" at last night's tapings in Washington, D.C. at this link. WWE had flown Young in for a segment on Raw that ended up getting re-written, so they used her in this role instead.
