"dun. Dun. DUUUUUNNNNNN!" He honestly looks like Tim Burton's long lost brother. I do this every single time I see this gif and maybe its just me, but he looks like:

Yet she's actually cutting more promos than she ever has. Go figure. It's Trips' way of annoying Dunn....Or something

I'm going to take this story with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is true. I wouldn't be shocked if this wasn't true at all. On the other hand, this is pro wrestling where people get buried for not going up to every member of a locker room and shaking their hand, doing the hokey cokey and bowing to their savior and one true God Vince McMahon before walking backwards with a bowl of Beanie Babies on your head. So yeah.

In some quarters, Kevin Dunn's alleged behaviour and decisions here may be argued as discriminatory. The sooner he's out from any responsibility for creative decisions or production, the better.

I am not saying that this is accurate or that Bryan Alvarez should be considered a trusted source of wrestling information (I tend to trust him, but I get why you might think otherwise). I just tend to notice a greater reluctance to trust journalists in this business than any other sport or entertainment industry and I am curious why that tends to be.

Indeed. I'm sick of people blaming problems in WWE on the people who have full control over WWE and everything that happens in it. I seen people blame Vince and Dunn for things that happen in NXT like the Authors of Pain squashing American Alpha or if certain people like Eva Marie get a push. No one wants to blame Hunter for things until he does something to piss people off and then the narrative changes. Trips earns praise when something goes good or beloved. But almost none of the blame when bad shit goes down. He is part of WWE management after all. HHH burying people and sabotaging momentum has been one of the most common criticisms of WWE over the years.

I just tend to notice a greater reluctance to trust journalists in this business than any other sport or entertainment industry and I am curious why that tends to be. Because most of the time in other industries, there's enough coverage for the cream to rise to the top- people cover it, rise the ranks, and become close enough where it is clear they either know what they're talking about or have ways where there might be smoke to the fire. With wrestling, though, it's usually such a closed business, and there's so much hearsay involved in even "news articles" from the top Internet journalists, combined with the people who would be sources having vested interests (it's been an open secret for years that even Meltzer does quid pro quo to his sources: They feed him the information, and in exchange Meltzer will hype them up as being awesome in the Observer so that more people will want them to get a big push), that most Internet journalists in wrestling are about as on par with any other message board member.

I find Becky's accent incredibly endearing but Kevin Dunn can think whatever he wants, the crowd loves Becky and there's an argument for her being the best female wrestler on the roster. Unless something crazy happens, she's holding down the SDL fort for awhile. That being said...

Even pointing out Hunter cutting off the legs of Roman during their feud got laughed off because people hated Reigns enough to ignore that. "It's just Roman. f*** him." All it takes is a kickass Takeover and a couple of selfies with some beloved standouts & all is forgiven. The narrative by the sheets and online been Hunter is for everything we want and Vince is the roadblock to wrestling Nirvana.

True or not, I can't wait until Kevin Dunn is gone. He's trash. He's a bad person and deserves every bit of mocking coming his way. I'm baffled by how a post like this gets so many likes. What the f***? Three pages and everyone else is just letting it slide. He's a bad person because the TV show isn't how you like it? It's shit like this that reminds me why I've been coming here less and less.

You've already hit it right on the head with several posts in this thread, but it's worth quoting for the truth. People are straight up drawing lines in the sand over backstage BS where the good and bad guy is so arbitrary and everything Triple H has ever allegedly done is forgiven and forgotten with a selfie and making a bland super-indy for people afraid of anything without a WWE logo which makes him the hero.

He evidently doesn't like the Irish accent, or Irish people rather. He's always had issues with Finlay (hornswoggle was an attempt to kill his heat) and he's tried to (according to the sheets anyway) stall Sheamus during his initial push. I still don't understand why the guy whose job is to direct the cameras and put together video packages has any kind of say in creative in the first place.

I always wondered if the tag team Well Dunn was a rib on Kevin Dunn by Cornette by putting the big kissing lips right near their butts on their tights right above those hideous thongs. I am sure he was booking around the time they were there.

HHH winning the Royal Rumble and the title was mocked and ridiculed, as far as I can recall. As for these claims, these are strawmen. I don't think anyone is seriously expecting such things. HHH's views on parity booking were heavily criticised here on this site.

Becky's one of the few girls that actually sounds like a real girl to me. i am british so maybe im used to it (yeah i know she's irish) but she's sounds more genuine and relatable to the average to girl.

Which is the main and probably sole source for any and everything that gets "credited" to him -- he's the WWE boogieman. If you like something and it's taken away, or you don't like something and it gets featured, or if someone you like doesn't get pushed, it's all the evil, all-powerful Kevin Dunn who is behind it every time. There's a reason the term "mark" gets associated with wrestling. Someone posts his name on a dirtsheet and blames him for something and gets clicks and waits for the checks to come in, and it works every time. I could have sworn Becky had been used on commentary before. How did that happen?

You don't even have to show proof about Dunn not liking Becky's accent. He is so hated, it is taken as truth without hesitation. Consider the source of this news tidbit, it is more of Alverez projecting his dislike of Becky and using Dunn as his scapegoat.

Fans can offer praise of HHH and criticism of Vince without subscribing to the exaggerated utopianism you mentioned. As for Dunn, even if this story isn't true, he's just plain shit at his job IMO and should have been sacked years ago for his shitty production decisions. Nausea inducing camerawork being one example.
