Kevin Dunn, a long-time trusted employee of Vince McMahon, worked for WWE for decades, overseeing TV production. He has resigned from WWE.
According to PWInsider.com’s Mike Johnson, Dunn is currently exploring opportunities in the film and television industry.
He added, “It’s also interesting to note that while he was praised on the way out, there continues to be a growing belief that Dunn exited because he felt disrespected and was a ;Vince McMahon Guy’, as one source stated. Let’s be honest – Dunn was THE Vince McMahon Guy.”
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that “It was Dunn’s decision to leave, which one source said dated back about two months when Endeavor started wanting to make budget cuts to improve profitability in the department and started making decisions on the production side without relying on his opinions. Dunn had been basically autonomous in his position for decades, only having to answer to Vince McMahon. With McMahon out of power many did feel this was inevitable.”
