The majority of Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnsonâs speech at the Hall Of Fame ceremony on Saturday was written by RAW lead writer Brian Gewirtz. Rock arrived late Friday night and spent portions of that night and Saturday working on the material, which mostly consisted of bullet points and one-liners. Gewirtz is responsible for writing the bulk of Rockâs material throughout his WWE career.
Nobody in WWE seemed happen when Rockâs speech lasted so long, but apparently nobody from the production team told him to âwrap it upâ as they did with Flair. The edited version of Rockâs speech that aired on USA Network was a lot shorter than his actual speech at the ceremony.
