Removed Drywall Paper with Wallpaper

I removed wallpaper from the wall. The wall is now partially rough as the top layer of sheet rock came off with wallpaper. How can the wall be repaired?

Easy fix here. Use a product called Gardz from Zinsser. It is a clear bonding primer. Basically you use it to seal down the drywall paper, then you patch the wall where you have to, then you put one more coat of Gardz on to seal the compound. Then you can paint over it.
