""An entertaining look at life backstage beyond the ropes.""--Kirkus ""Brian and I are kindred spirits. Amidst allegations of Flash action figure payola, the infamous wrestlers court, multitudes of laughs, made-up words, 5 second poses, roasting local sports teams and battling at WrestleMania in my hometown over a Japanese shampoo endorsement (you knew I had to mention it), we've both ended up where we needed to be. Keep the world smiling, Brian. As you do in this book. Wrestling's version of War and Peace. Or a great, comedic book that involves writing outlandish scenarios for men in tights. Whichever. I'll be over here still wearing spandex.""--Adam ""Edge"" Copeland, Canadian professional wrestler and actor ""Brian Gewirtz's book THERE'S JUST ONE PROBLEM is a fascinating and hilarious inside look into Brian's unlikely, yet incredible rise to sports entertainment ""inside"" fame and what I would describe as a true WWE Hall of Fame career as a writer and for years now, finding tremendous success as our lead Seven Bucks' executive. His long, storied and unbelievable tenure in WWE, is truly what legends are made of.""--Dwayne ""The Rock"" Johnson ""Every wrestling fan will love this book. The stories are truly amazing! I couldn't put it down.""--Ken Jeong, stand-up comedian, actor, producer, and writer ""I never met someone in the wrestling business that wasn't a wrestler that had as much knowledge and insight as Brian. There would not be a King Bookah without a Brian Gewirtz.""--Booker T, WWE Hall of Famer and five-time WCW Champion ""I simply could not put this tremendous book down, finishing it in two sittings within a single day--and lost count of how many times I laughed out loud along the way. Brian Gewirtz has an instant wrestling classic on his hands here; a very enjoyable romp down memory lane, with a unique perspective from a man who was either in the middle of, or very close to some of the greatest (and not so great) moments in WWE history. With unfettered access to WWE boss Vince McMahon, and as one of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's closest confidants, Brian Gewirtz is the perfect person to chronicle the hectic and sometimes surreal behind-the-scenes chaos of the WWE creative process--and he delivers the goods in insightful and hilarious fashion.""--Mick Foley, WWE Hall of Famer and multi-time New York Times bestselling author ""In the book, THERE'S JUST ONE PROBLEM, written by the most talented writer in the history of the WWE, Brian Gewirtz (my opinion), Brian takes you on a roller coaster ride in regards to his amazing time writing in the WWE. Brian even discusses his ""day"" in wrestlers court, where he was the first and only writer in WWE to have to go in front of a judge (actually a wrestler) and pay his debt for ""allegedly"" favoring to write for his favorite wrestlers. He survived!!! This book is as entertaining as the scripts Brian wrote during his amazing career in the WWE. This book is a must read.""--Kurt Angle, WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic Gold Medalist ""Not nearly enough Miz.""--The Miz ""This is the best book I have read in years. If you're a fan of WWE, or heck, even if you're not, this inside look into the life of one of the most intense jobs in all of entertainment, a WWE writer, hilariously detailed by one of the most impactful writers and creative contributors in WWE history is nothing short of fascinating. It's a laugh out loud, can't put down, sad that it's over kind of book and I loved every second of it. Apart from, of course, when it was over.""--Becky Lynch, WWE Superstar and six-time WWE Women's Champion
