WWE Mainstay Is Departing The Company

WWE Mainstay Is Departing The Company

It was always known that once WWE merged with Endeavor, the parent company of UFC, to create TKO, massive changes would be made, especially regarding management positions. And now it has been reported by PWInsider.com that Kevin Dunn, who was the Executive Producer & Chief of Global Television Distribution, has resigned. The belief is that after almost 40 years with the company, he wasn’t going to be dictated to regarding how to run television production by new people and has effectively opted to retire instead.

“We are told that a big factor in his decision to retire is changes made internally post-Endeavor acquisition and as one source stated, 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 WWE’s new owner seeks to cut costs.”

Dunn’s father, Dennis, worked for Vince McMahon Sr. in the 70s, opening the door for his son to get a role with the company once he finished college. Subsequently, he was hired full-time by Vince McMahon, Jr. in 1984, and since then, he has worked his way up through the company, holding various job titles in television production, eventually joining WWE’s Board of Directors in 2008.
