According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, longtime WWE executive Kevin Dunn is leaving the company. Johnson noted that Dunn, who has been Executive Producer & Chief, Global Television Distribution, informed WWE around Christmas week that he was retiring from his position.
Johnson stated the following…
“We are told that a big factor in his decision to retire is changes internally post-Endeavor acquisition and that Dunn was ‘never going to do anything that was dictacted’ to him, as opposed to how he personally oversaw production in the past. We are told this was not an issue of creative but two differing versions of how things should be run from a TV production perspective as they seek to cut costs.”
Dunn started officially working for WWE in the 1980s and was a major part of television production for decades.

He will be picked up by AEW and ruin the TV production there. Also, does anybody think Well Dunn was a rib on Kevin Dunn?

Also, does anybody think Well Dunn was a rib on Kevin Dunn? i’d say unlikely. he seemed to have a position out of pure nepotism because of his dad saving old tapes or something like that. i forget the whole story, but i feel like he would be able to play that card if he ever wanted to. not sure where he stood with vince back then, but he was definitely able to be in vince’s ear with his stupid thoughts later on. either way, good riddance to that bucktooth beaver looking jackass

I know everyone has their opinions of him (mostly negative) but his skills in production are second to none. Their video packages over the years can’t be beat. The ability to catch the perfect angle and leave a lasting image is leagues ahead of any other company, whether that be Vince peering over the apron, or Cody rising from under the stage like a god. They can make someone like Natalya seem like a big deal.
That being said, some of the recent camera cuts are hard to ignore. I’m hoping the production doesn’t take a hit with him leaving. But if they get rid of the AR graphics, I’ll be happy about that.

Evil cannot drive out darkness, only good can do that. Evil cannot drive out evil. Only good can do that. Good will always overcome evil.

Modern wrestling production was all essentially copying Dunn's methods. His imprint will probably not go away quickly.
