In a recent interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Brian Gewirtz, a seasoned name in the wrestling industry, shared his insights on the current state of professional wrestling. The conversation touched upon various topics, from John Cena’s return to WWE to AEW’s monumental event at Wembley Stadium.
Gewirtz began by discussing the release of his book, which has garnered significant attention from fans and industry insiders alike. The book, available in both hardcover and paperback, offers a deep dive into the world of wrestling, with anecdotes and insights that only someone with Gewirtz’s experience could provide.
The conversation then shifted to AEW’s recent event at Wembley Stadium, which saw a record-breaking attendance of over 81,000 fans. When asked about Vince McMahon’s reaction to AEW’s success, Gewirtz candidly mentioned that he doesn’t believe McMahon is overly concerned. Drawing from his experience working with WWE during the Monday Night Wars era, Gewirtz emphasized that McMahon’s focus has always been on his own product rather than the competition.
