WWE: Booker T praises writer Brian Gewirtz

Booker T revealed that the reason behind these great promos was writer Brian Gewirtz. He had worked with The Rock to come up with some unique one-liners. He added that when wrestlers would read Gewirtz’s script, they used to get surprised by the lines. Gewirtz was the smartest guy in the room, he had so many ideas in his head and no one knew where the ideas came from. He worked with The Rock and Booker T so many times that he made their characters come to life. Booker T said that sometimes he used to think that the script is stupid, but he used to believe in Brian Gewirtz and went along with it. Fans used to love every bit of what superstars used to say.
