Brian Gewirtz says The Rock not to blame for WrestleMania XL documentary delay

The Rock is not to blame for the delayed release of the WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain documentary, according to Brian Gewirtz.

Gewirtz, a former head writer for WWE and now an executive for The Rock and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions, appeared on The Ringer’s Masked Man Show Thursday and explained that an error in promoting the documentary is responsible for the delayed release, and dismissed speculation that The Rock was “holding hostage” the project.

WWE originally announced that the documentary would premiere on the company’s YouTube channel on Wednesday, April 10. The documentary has still yet to be released.

Gewirtz says:

“There is, believe it or not, there is an awesome doc that WWE… The Rock isn’t holding hostage until he has approval of every frame… Jesus.
But there was, I think there was an error in terms of promoting it so soon because it wasn’t ready to come out. So, that was an error that was made.
But this was a doc that I think went from 11 minutes to 45 minutes, now it’s over an hour. And it’s pretty awesome, and it will be coming out in some form pretty soon, is my understanding.”

Gewirtz also discussed Seven Bucks’ Who Killed WCW series that is coming to Vice TV on June 4 in his Masked Man Show interview. The episode is embedded below.
