“Not True”: Dwayne Johnson’s Close Aide Clears a Decades-Old Misconception About The Rock

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a reputation for a lot of things in WWE. One of them is that he is the most electrifying wrestler in WWE history. It is very hard to imagine a schedule like Dwayne Johnson’s — With movies, gym, and WWE all being perfectly balanced. 

Recently, though, we got a sneak peek into the star’s life, work, and more.

What was the misconception about him?

Brian Gewirtz made the revelation about The Rock in his book “There’s Just One Problem…: True Tales from the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE”.

“There’s a misconception among some that the Rock has all his promos fully scripted for him. Not true.” 

It is very natural to think they are scripted. The energy and finesse with which Johnson appears in front of the camera is really something. It is something that not a lot of actors or wrestlers can replicate. It is probably the number one reason for his wide popularity and appeal.

Gewirtz added that “Having the talent heavily involved in the creation of the promo will almost always result in a better promo than just handing them a piece of paper.”

Dwayne Johnson tweeted about Gewirtz’s book

Dwayne Johnson took to Twitter to appreciate Gewirtz’s work in the book and beyond. It reveals a lot about the kind of dynamic the two of them have with each other — Even though Gewirtz was not a wrestler. Gewirtz himself agreed how unreal it was to work with the likes of John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. “It was such an unexpected path,” he said. 

Gewirtz was a writer for WWE but does not work for them anymore. Currently, he is the executive producer of NBC’s The Young Rock. Gearing up for the release of the next season of the sitcom. The magic he brought to the flow and script of WWE has been unmatched so far, which shows in the sitcom as well.
