Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz was asked about the idea of a return to pro wrestling. He is confident he could still find his place in today’s wrestling world.
“It’s like working a muscle, a little bit,” Gewirtz said. “Your promo muscle, as a writer, in terms of getting into the swing of things again. ‘Cause I’ve had, occasionally, some talent at WWE give me a call and say ‘Hey, what’s a good line I can say to this person?’ Not often, but every now and then. … And then I start thinking about it, and then that muscle starts, you know, working again. And then all of a sudden I’ve written like a 10 minute promo and I’m sending it to the person.”
Gewirtz maintains a close relationship with Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson,” acting as his producing partner for a wide variety of projects under Seven Bucks Productions. While Gewirtz isn’t opposed to the idea of returning to wrestling either.
“It never truly leaves my psyche or goes away. … I don’t ever really envision myself in that position as a job again but, you know, as they say in the wrestling business, ‘you never say never.'”
