Former longtime WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz recently spoke with the folks from the Comic Book website for an in-depth interview about his days in WWE and more.
During his interview with the popular internet media outlet, Gewirtz disputed the notion from wrestling fans that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has lost his touch when it comes to his ability to promote the product.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where Gewirtz touches on this specific subject.
“I would say to anyone…the snarky ones who sit back and go, ‘The old man’s lost it,’ or ‘He’s not attached,’ or what have you, I would say you don’t mean Vince. I think the best example is us sitting around the room one day and then, almost at the top of his head, he pitches the entire Nexus angle — if you recall from 2010 when all the NXT guys turned on [John] Cena and stripped the ring. It was very, very highly buzzed about. It just seemed like maybe the idea did percolate in his head, but he verbalized it for the first time in the meeting. We were all looking at each other like, ‘Wow, that was absolutely amazing.’ He might not be up on the latest social trends or whatever, but the mad genius still exists and probably always will.”
