Product Information

However, having a narrator who is familiar with the people he is talking about would have improved the experience.

With unfettered access to WWE boss Vince McMahon, and as one of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's closest confidants, Brian Gewirtz is the perfect person to chronicle the hectic and sometimes surreal behind-the-scenes chaos of the WWE creative process--and he delivers the goods in insightful and hilarious fashion. The last few chapters about his relationship with McMahon deteriorating were the highlight of the book, and honestly were captivating to read. With untold stories from a career spanning over 15 years and featuring the biggest names and controversial moments in wrestling history, HEELS AND HEROES is an honest, unflinching look on how an introverted life-long fan unexpectedly became one the most powerful men in all of professional wrestling.With Gewirtz now a part of the time making Johnson's NBC show, Young Rock, Brian has been able to seek more creatively fulfilling rolls outside of the WWE grind. Heyman got up from his seat and told him that he would give him three free shots to the face if he could have one. 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 are multiple stories about him from numerous sources and Gewirtz has quite a few of them in his book as well.

Not only will you learn a lot, but you won’t be tainted by years of dirt sheet reporting and Reddit threads that will leave you feeling like you’re in the rinse, repeat cycle. Pay in 4 is a form of credit, so consider whether you can afford the repayments as use of the product may impact your credit score. Instead he gives the reader an insight into the creative process from conception to payoff, along with the inherent backstage drama, and ultimately an honest portrait of many the people that we see on our televisions but don’t get see in the “unscripted” world. With all that being said, we learn that working for Vince McMahon can be at times all-consuming and always demanding.Gewirtz war 13 Jahre Vollzeit und knapp 3 Jahre Teilzeit bei der WWE in einer mehr oder weniger zentralen Rolle. There are more than a few stories detailing Gewirtz contributing to some of Rock’s most memorable moments in the early 2000s.

I’d recommend it to anyone who grew up with a WWE themed bedroom (like my son) or kept John Cena’s autographed picture on their wall (like my daughter). There probably is, but Gewirtz - much like his boss Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - is too tactful to tell all. Brian and Paul Heyman were summoned to Stephanie McMahon’s office where Vince McMahon asked them to take Russo seriously.Brian shares a ton of behind the scenes stories about The McMahon family, Michael Hayes, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, Edge and Christian, Kurt Angle, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Goldberg and many, many more. If this seems unneeded (if wrestling isn't fake) well, its definitely needed these days to give the show the professional sheen expected by a publicly traded company that's in the entertainment business. With unfettered access to WWE boss Vince McMahon, and as one of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson’s closest confidants, Brian Gewirtz is the perfect person to chronicle the hectic and sometimes surreal behind-the-scenes chaos of the WWE creative process—and he delivers the goods in insightful and hilarious fashion.

Hauptsächlich schade, dass man nicht mehr über die Geschehnisse hinter den Kulissen erfahren konnte. Einfach nur, weil ich so ein großer Wrestlingfan bin und mich die Backstage Stories oftmals mehr interessieren, als das was im Ring passiert. He s written on several television shows and has served as Executive Producer on NBC s The Titan Games , the upcoming Behind the Attraction on Disney Plus and on NBC s Young Rock based on the life of Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.WWE creative decided that 'Swoggle needed to give a speech from his heart about how people treated him badly because of his size and he would get back at the wrestlers who bullied him. True Tales from the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE is his account of his fifteen years in the WWE which saw many stars shine and fade, promotions come and go, with the only constant being the whims of Vince McMahon, the chairman and his need for control. 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.
