Brian Gewirtz on the possibility of legalized gambling for WWE: It wouldnt seem realistic when I was there, but I have a lot of faith in Nick Khan. I think the structure is just different now. The fact that Dave Meltzer exists is a reason why it might not work, yknow? Hes antithetical to the whole concept of can the wrestlers or whoever the quote-unquote sources are shut their mouths for a little bit.'<\/p>\n
Gewirtz on how to keep things secret in WWE: It was possible to do secret stuff back when I was there. John Cena returning in the Royal Rumble, I think it was 2008, that was a secret. Eric Bischoff, when we named him [general manager] in 2002, that was a secret. WhenRock returned to host WrestleMania. You really, really need to put in the work to keep it a secret,or you just really truly need to crack down on people. And most people arent like this in terms of blabbing.<\/p>\n
On how the betting on matches should be capped: I left in 2015, and no one on this writing team would dare to consider it for not just moral reasons, but practical reasons.<\/p>\n
