Former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz brings readers behind the scenes for an unprecedented look at the chaotic, surreal, unbelievable backstage world of the WWE. 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. For decades wrestling was shrouded in secrecy. It had larger than life personalities, bone crunching physicality and jaw-dropping theatrics but backstage it was an industry devoid of outsiders. Then in 1999, after working together on a special for MTV, Dwayne The Rock Johnson turned to 26-year old television writer Brian Gewirtz and asked You ever consider writing for WWE? That question, and its answer, would have a profound effect on both of their lives for years to come. HEELS AND HEROES is a story about perseverance, tenacity, and steel chairs. Most writers in the WWE last for a matter of months; Gewirtz was there for over 15 years, writing some of most memorable and infamous storylines in WWE history (covering the Attitude Era, the Ruthless Aggression Era and into the PG and Reality eras). 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. These men not only shaped his life professionally but also personally, forcing him to grow and change both as a writer and a human being. So how does a lifelong fan and outsider break through to become the ultimate insider? How does a low-key personality deal directly with his boss, the most brash, unpredictable alpha male on the planet, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon? How does one gain respect in a locker room that wants nothing more than to see him disappear? Where does one go when every year in wrestling takes you further away from the writing career you always wanted? Taking advice from his idol, the late Rowdy Roddy Piper, when youre so full of fear, theres only one way to push through: become fearless.

Brian Gewirtzs THERES JUST ONE PROBLEM is a fascinating and hilarious inside look into Brians unlikely yet incredible rise to sports entertainment insider fame and what I would describe as a true WWE Hall of Fame career as a writer and, for years now, a tremendous success as our lead Seven Bucks executive. His long, storied, and unbelievable tenure in WWE is truly what legends are made of. Brians one of my best friends, one of my most trusted partners, and a real unsung legend in the wild world of pro wrestling. Congratulations on your fantastic new book, Brian! Please dont tell all our crazy storiessave some for the next book.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson

This is the best book I have read in years. If youre a fan of WWEheck, even if youre notthis inside look into the life of one of the most intense jobs in all of entertainment (a WWE writer), hilariously detailed by one of the most impactful writers and creative contributors in WWE history. is nothing short of fascinating. Its a laugh-out-loud, cant-put-down, sad-that-its-over kind of book, and I loved every second of it. Apart from, of course, when it was over.

Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar and six-time WWE Womens Champion

In THERES JUST ONE PROBLEM, written by the most talented writer in the history of WWE (my opinion), Brian takes you on a roller-coaster ride in regards to his amazing time writing in WWE. Brian even discusses his day in wrestlers court, where he was the first and only writer in WWE to have to go in front of a judge (actually a wrestler) and pay his debt for allegedly favoring to write for his favorite wrestlers. He survived!!! This book is as entertaining as the scripts Brian wrote during his amazing career in WWE. This book is a must-read.

Kurt Angle, WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic Gold Medalist

I simply could not put this tremendous book down, finishing it in two sittings within a single dayand lost count of how many times I laughed out loud along the way. Brian Gewirtz has an instant wrestling classic on his hands here; a very enjoyable romp down memory lane, with a unique perspective from a man who was either in the middle of, or very close to, some of the greatest (and not so great) moments in WWE history. With unfettered access to WWE boss Vince McMahon, and as one of Dwayne The Rock Johnsons closest confidants, Brian Gewirtz is the perfect person to chronicle the hectic and sometimes surreal behind-the-scenes chaos of the WWE creative processand he delivers the goods in insightful and hilarious fashion.

Mick Foley, WWE Hall of Famer and New York Times bestselling author

I never met someone in the wrestling business who wasnt a wrestler that had as much knowledge and insight as Brian. There would not be a King Bookah without a Brian Gewirtz.

Booker T, WWE Hall of Famer and five-time WCW Champion

Every wrestling fan will love this book. The stories are truly amazing! I couldnt put it down.

Ken Jeong, stand-up comedian, actor, producer, and writer

Brian and I are kindred spirits. Amidst allegations of Flash action figure payolas, 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), weve both ended up where we needed to be. Keep the world smiling, Brian. As you do in this book. Wrestlings version of War and Peace. Or a great, comedic book that involves writing outlandish scenarios for men in tights. Whichever. Ill be over here, still wearing spandex.

Adam Edge Copeland, Canadian professional wrestler and actor

Not nearly enough Miz.

The Miz

To Roddy, and to my Dad, who, despite his better judgment, always took me to see him

Y oure being taken to Wrestlers Court.

When those words left Stephanie McMahons mouth, on April 3, 2001, at a Smackdown taping in Oklahoma City, I was blindsided. Coming off what I considered my finest moment as a WWE writer, contributing to a hugely successful WrestleMania 17 and a historic Raw, I thought my newly promoted boss would be giving me something elsea bonus, a promotion, maybe even the clippers my hero Roddy Piper once used to shave Little Beavers head for having the gall to be friends with Mr. T. Instead, her expression was one youd reserve for breaking the news that a beloved pet had just been fatally electrocuted.

This is not optional. Make sure you bring beer maybe some pizza.

Immediately, a number of questions went through my head. What kind of pizza? What brand of beer? And perhaps most pressingly: What the hell is Wrestlers Court? As word spread throughout the locker room, I quickly learned that Wrestlers Court was a time-honored tradition going back several decades. It was a way for the wrestlers (commonly referred to as the boys, though it included the women wrestlers as well) to let off steam and police themselves when someone violated an unwritten backstage rule, aka the Wrestlers Code.

Eat fried chicken in the locker room and leave behind crumbs over peoples luggage? Youre going to Wrestlers Court. Sit in first class and not give up your seat to a veteran whos flying coach? Wrestlers Court. Give up your seat to a veteran whos flying coach but then complain about having to give up said seat to anyone who will listen? Most definitely Wrestlers Court.
