Brian knew he couldn’t win in an argument based on what should or shouldn’t be on television, but even after years and years of loyal service, Vince still would only listen to himself and if he didn’t get what Brian presented, it didn’t go on the show. That question, and its answer, would have a profound effect on both of their lives for years to come.
Most of it wouldn’t fly today, but in the broadest of strokes, we had a legion of doom, a walking dead man, a porn star, an androgynous but very sexual being, two friggin’ VAMPIRES, a pretty racist (even for the nineties) representation of minorities, feuds like you wouldn’t believe, and, of course, Stone Cold Steve Austin. One such occasion is told in detail involving Gewirtz taking a trip to “wrestler’s court” (a mock trial in which one wrestler is accused of something by another backstage: usually a rookie running afoul of a veteran) when Gewirtz was accused of favoring Edge and Christian after Gewirtz was seen accepting a gift in what others assumed, was in exchange for more television time. Vince and his team were brainstorming trying to name this new style but nothing was coming out of it. With RAW taking place in Miami that night, Brian pitched a line surrounding Dwayne Wade, then superstar player for the NBA's Miami Heat, for The Miz to use to rile up the local crowd. Brian shares many of his job details, the history of major WWE storylines, and behind the scenes stories.Hearing this, Gewirtz immediately started laughing and that irked Paul Heyman enough to want to fight Brian. Der andere Punkt, weshalb ich nur 4 Sterne gebe, wurde von einer anderen Rezension schon gut beschrieben.
Add to that the scores of wrestlers, promoters, historians, announcers and more who entered the world of literature to tell their own stories after Mick's success. It's a laugh out loud, can't put down, sad that it's over kind of book and I loved every second of it. For casual or non-wrestling fan readers, Gewirtz defines wrestling terminology as he uses it -- there's plenty of context, too, so even casual or lapsed wrestling fans will have no trouble keeping up with the story.But how will Kyle Shanahan’s and Andy Reid’s game plans—as well as the ever-important Patrick Mahomes factor—dictate the outcome in Las Vegas? But something funny happened over the course of several years and attendance of live Smackdown, Raw, and pay per view events.
Throughout this journey Gewirtz found himself becoming both friend and antagonist to some of the biggest names in WWE history – Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, Stephanie McMahon, Bill Goldberg, Paul Heyman, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, and the two men who he worked the most closely with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. There were some things Vince liked though like people stepping on dog poop and making a 90-minute movie on the topic. Throughout this journey Gewirtz found himself becoming both friend and antagonist to some of the biggest names in WWE history Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, Stephanie McMahon, Bill Goldberg, Paul Heyman, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, and the two men who he worked the most closely with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Amidst allegations of Flash action figure payola, the infamous wrestlers court, multitudes of laughs, made-up words, 5 second poses, roasting local sports teams and battling at WrestleMania in my hometown over a Japanese shampoo endorsement (you knew I had to mention it), we’ve both ended up where we needed to be. If you’re a hardcore wrestling fan I’m sure you’ll read it anyway, but I think the person that will get the most out of it will be a casual fan who’s interested in the backstage mechanics of how the WWE machine works.There are more than a few stories detailing Gewirtz contributing to some of Rock's most memorable moments in the early 2000s. The Hot Read, Conference Championship Edition: The Lions Gave Away a Super Bowl Berth There is nothing noble about Detroit’s loss. Taking advice from his idol, the late Rowdy Roddy Piper, when you re so full of fear, there s only one way to push through: become fearless. One chapter is dedicated to one of the most high-profile examples of such tension, which happened between Johnson, now 50, and Cena. Anyway, this was a fun book and a great peek behind the curtain at the sheer GRIND that is WWE and, if you’re a fan of wrestling, you should check it out.
Great Deal
