‘Cuse Conversations Episode 114: Behind the Curtain with Former WWE Head Writer Brian Gewirtz ’95

Original air date: Sept. 11, 2022 In his new book, “There’s Just One Problem… True Tales from the former, one-time, 7th most powerful person in WWE,” Brian Gewirtz ’95 pulls back the curtain on professional wrestling by sharing “fascinating and hilarious” stories (those are Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s adjectives!) from his fifteen-year career with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Gewirtz describes how earning The Rock’s trust first led to a job in professional wrestling and later to a senior vice president role with The Rock’s production company. It should come as no surprise that there’s a lot of Orange that weaves through Gewirtz’s story.
