Recently, former WWE creative writer Vince Russo floated a conspiracy theory suggesting that TKO board director Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could replace Paul “Triple H” Levesque with his collaborator longtime Brian Gewirtz. While there doesn’t seem to be any truth to it, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed the possibility on “Click this. » Nash was pretty confident that Levesque wasn’t going anywhere and used a recent social media clip as proof that he’s better suited than anyone else to lead WWE’s creative.
“They brought (Shinsuke Nakamura) back and they were preparing for his entrance,” Nash began. “It was on Instagram. And they showed Paul explaining to the production people what he wanted. ‘I want it to be lit not so much from the top, but from the bottom.’ And he walked them through the whole process of what he personally saw for this guy’s entry. And I was like… that’s what makes the difference between good and great: the details. and I tell myself that Dwayne doesn’t have time for that.”
Nash compared the respect WWE talent has for Levesque to the respect players had for legendary New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, noting that both inspire their “players” to perform at their best. .
“It’s the Triple H era because… people will run through fucking walls for him,” Nash said. “He understands. And that’s the intangible that Brian Gewirtz or Dwayne won’t have.”
At one time, Brian Gewirtz was high up the food chain on the WWE creative team and was known as the architect behind many of The Rock’s promotions. After forming a strong working relationship together, The Rock eventually lured Gewirtz away from wrestling to his entertainment company Seven Bucks Productions.
