There's Just One Problem: Inside the WWE with Demented-but-True Stories of Mayhem, Metal Chairs, and Major Insanity by Brian Gewirtz
Really fascinating to read a book about the business by someone who's so clearly a huge mark for the business. Two points that stand out to me the most are the beginning story, where Gewirtz explains Wrestler's Court and how honored he was to be 'sentenced' by Undertaker to write a 2000 word paper on how much he respected the business. The second is a later story where he talks about laughing at Paul Heyman's lackey suggesting Torrie Wilson get naked in the ring, and a few chapters later deciding to just mention HLA 2002 and not dig into that one any deeper. He's clearly more interested in viewing WWE as a fun wacky place that just coincidentally burned both him and his passion for wrestling out. Huge mark for both Vince and the business.
