Is it necessary to prime bare wallboards before spraying orange peel

My contractor says it's not needed, but I've read elsewhere that it's
a good idea to prime first (no reason provided though).

Please help! Thanks.

from what i have read in sheet rock books and have seen as a kid in the
50-60's when you would just use a roller on the sheet rock that they, my
uncle and his kids never did anything to the sheetrock othere than put
the mud on with a roller... it seemed to work OK... and if the
contractor tells you this then he ought to know....
