Does anyone besides Vince or some other suits actually like Kevin Dunn? There's probably quite a few wrestlers that owe him their careers because of random things like... Dunn liked their tits so he pushed for them. It's still not the kind of thing you'ld probably admit out loud. Ethan Page might have had a chance then!!

Considering Mox has Tony's ear and openly despises Kevin Dunn, I really doubt that ever happens. Does anyone besides Vince or some other suits actually like Kevin Dunn? I’m pretty sure I remember hearing (like a decade ago, I think it was from a former writer when there was an outpouring of ex-writers doing podcasts) that the people that worked under Dunn on the production team generally liked him.

For what it's worth he was mostly good at what he did. Under him they mostly would catch all the action and big spots. The problem were all the quick cuts and random shots of fans.
Outside of that he should've had no say in who got pushed and who didn't.
Be interesting tonight to see if there are any changes to the overall presentation.

It does need to be said he absolutely caught some iconic images. Austin bleeding in the sharpshooter immediately comes to mind. At some point, he decided he needed 900 cuts a minute and random shots of the crowd.

He became very influenced by whatever HollyWood was doing too bad he had no idea how to properly integrate it and really just adapted all the worst aspects from Hollywood shaky cam being the obvious one.

I remember for some months in 2006, during matches, the camera would show people in the crowd reacting to what they are seeing. I’m not talking about people in the front row. I’m talking close ups of people in the middle of the crowd. I remember during a Super Crazy/Randy Orrin match from May 2006, the camera had close up of kids in the middle of the crowd chanting for Super Crazy.
I wonder if that was Kevin’s own doing.

He started missing shit, AJ Styles debut, Edge’s first spear back, to get stupid reaction shots, which is something you film for use later for video packages but have no place on the live broadcast

Even as someone who has no interest in WWE.. Please let this mean unique sets that aren't just [GIANT LED VIDEO SCREEN].

I think hating Kevin Dunn is the one thing that most people will actually agree with Jim Cornette on.

what was interesting was that the show started with Cole and Wade in the ring to announce the night's matches to the crowd, which I don't recall has been done before.

I haven't seen that done since back in the original ECW days, though to be fair it may have been done in other televised promotions that I just missed.

I thought the show felt largely the same which is to be expected.
