I think it probably could've used a lot more shaky camerawork.

He's f***ing awful at his job. You always hear people in the industry talk about how amazing he is at production, but what are they comparing him to? Compare his work to just about anything else on television, and he clearly sucks.

Compare his work to just about anything else on television, and he clearly sucks. The one unequivocably good thing Dunn has been involved in is just WWE's consistency. They produce five hours a week of live television and for the most part it goes off f***ing flawlessly. WWE's production is a well oiled machine, and save for a few here-and-there misfires things go off perfectly. Compare it to a live TNA PPV and the difference is appalling. Most years, the Academy Awards can't go without some kind of mishap everyone laughs about on morning talk shows the next day. On a level of consistency and steering the ship in the highest pressure of environments, Kevin Dunn is really good at his job. The problem is that all of the infrastructure Dunn has set up and all of the strict timing is undercut by him forcing lots of really shitty ideas into things and having a vision that makes for a visually unappealing show. |

Yeah, he keeps the production running really smooth, especially considering how many things can go wrong in a live broadcast the fact that he's been in charge of so many hours of live production pretty consistently with only a handful of major errors is pretty impressive. He just gets caught up on "great ideas" which aren't really good at all... like the crowd watching the titantron shots. |

Those camera cuts would have been idiotic in a movie or tv show, so imagine hos stupid they are on a wrestling show

I can't be the only one thinking, "Oh, god...PLEASE f*** up Dunn!" when Braun went into the truck.

Here's Strowman's truck lift from a single angle. Looks way more impressive. Holy shit that looks 1000 times better! |

Serious question - I know epileptics are affected by flashing lights. Could a series of super quick camera cuts induce the same reaction? Just something that randomly occurred to me.

If they just had the shot from behind that would have looked great. The camera cuts turn it shit. Can't Dunn just go away. .......is this more a issue of the times changing and audiences want new/fresher ways to view entertainment & how to match that with different filming techniques, or does Dunn think this is what people want and is changing what's always worked to give us something that (when you put further thought into it - like, y'know, all wrestling audiences have done for 20 yrs) doesn't work for this audience whatsoever? |

The coward everyone hates but has close standing because of how much of a suck up he is. I'd imagine HHH will be Khrushchev and Dunn will be gone shortly after Vince goes away. This Vince/Stalin thing makes sense BTW. WCW is Nazi Germany. Early on in the war a sudden attack gets WWF/USSR leveled and it appears there's no hope, but after many mistakes by Germany/WCW and USSR/WWF learning from mistakes, they end up battling back. Four years after a massive opening shot (Barbarossa/nWo angle start), the war ends with WCW/Germany is decimated. - Battle of Moscow is probably mid to late 97. WCW at the proverbial gates of WWF, but not quite being able to finish them. Just about 9 months later its clear momentum is changing, but both sides are still powerful. - Austin/McMahon match on RAW would be the Stalingrad of the war. - Fall 98 is Battle of Kharkov. Last significant German victories while also suffering big defeats and it being clear they're done for. - Fingerpoke/Foley Win is Battle of Kursk. Last ditch effort by WCW/Germany to turn the tide, and while things look decent for WCW/Germany, a few big mistakes ensure their loss, and after that it was nothing but defeat. |

Random question... was Dunn seen in the truck? Yes he was  It looks like if they made a modern remake of “The Smurfs” and Dunn was playing “Gargamel” trying a corporate takeover of the village. |
