Why read it?

2 authors picked There's Just One Problem... as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There’s a lot of wrestling autobiographies out there, but very few from the writers who create the storylines.

I loved how Brian Gewirtz took me behind the scenes with his outrageous stories on what goes into making the WWE universe so entertaining. Brian’s self-deprecating humor, mixed with every writer’s insecure inner monologue, makes this a must-read for wrestling fans.

A great, easy read if you’re a fan of the WWE "Attitude" era.

From Joshua's list on pro wrestling from a super fan.

Growing up as a wrestling fan, it’s always fun to relive the nostalgic era of WWE’s ‘Attitude’ era (late 90s & early 2000s).

Gewirtz gives a fly-on-the-wall account of all the craziness that happened before the superstars walked down the ramp and into the ring. His sense of humor throughout this book is very relatable to writers, too.
