He says that he almost instantly developed a great relationship with Edge and Christian and they had a lot of fun working together. They were roughly the same age and had a lot in common, including their love of professional wrestling. He says he grew up watching Saturday Night’s Main Event and he loved the business, so getting to write for WWE was a great experience.
Edge asks Gewirtz about the time Bubba Ray Dudley power-bombed him. Gewirtz informs that on this night Smackdown was cancelled because of a snow storm (the only time this has ever happened) and a few talents were messing around in the ring. Someone suggested that Bubba Ray power-bomb him and Shane McMahon jumped in urging Gewirtz to take the bump, saying that Gewirtz needed to start taking bumps in order to realize what the wrestlers go through every night.
Gewirzt agreed, got into the ring, and as he was up in the air he heard someone screaming ,”Tuck your head!’. He tucked his head and took the bump safely, aided heavily by Bubba Ray’s professionalism. He says that taking that bump was exhilarating and he was still excited about it when he got back to his hotel hours later. In spite of that, it’s not something that he’d ever want to do again.
Edge, Christian and Gewirtz discuss the time they were taken to Wrestler’s Court. Edge knew that Gewirtz was a big fan of Marvel’s ‘The Flash’, so one day he gave Gewirzt a Flash figurine that he had. Bob Holly saw the exchange of this figurine and took this as Edge paying Gewirtz for better storylines and increased television time.
