There's no such thing as waterproof drywall, it's all just paper and gympsum. The blue and green papered drywalls are water resistant, meaning they won't actively promote mold growth, but they'll absorb water and allow moisture to penetrate just as badly as standard board. It works well in high humidity environments like a bathroom or basement, but it's useless as a tile backer.
If your relatively inexperienced use denshield or the foam core tile backer made by schulter, they're light weight and easy to cut. If your experienced you could consider using durock, but solid concrete board is crazy overkill for anything less than steam showers. Use deck screws, not drywall screws, for any backer board.
Lmfao at using a sheet of tile board, a little glue and fifteen minutes and you have a brand new shower
