Brian Gewirtz on writing for The Rock, and the future of WWE | The Sessions with Renee Paquette

You may not know the name Brian Gewirtz, but you definitely know his work. The longtime WWE writer rose to (allegedly) the seventh-most powerful position in the company by writing for the likes of The Rock, and now he’s telling his best stories in a new book, “There’s Just One Problem.” But before he does, he’s chatting with Renee about breaking into the business, getting ribbed on the first day, why he can’t avoid the XFL and, crucially, what he thinks about Triple H taking over WWE creative. Oh, and that time he almost came to blows with Paul Heyman.

He looks like he could be related to The Miz.

Sometimes writers do get there due rarely though it does happen and become iconic. People that stand out to me is like Stan Lee and Stephen King. J r r Tolkien and George r r Martin. Frank Miller and Chris Claremont. Doesn't happen often but some do transcend there own works.
