Kevin Dunn leaves WWE - PWInsider

[Dale]

Since PWInsider.com broke word that Kevin Dunn was retiring from World Wrestling Entertainment last Saturday, there's been an assumption that Dunn was retiring altogether. In speaking to a number of sources, we are told that while Dunn is done (no pun intended, I assure you) with WWE by his own choice, he is not seeking to retire from working and is looking into potential film and television projects down the line. I wouldn't expect him to work for any other wrestling companies.

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.

While everyone is playing up positives publicly, we are told that the relationship between the two sides has gotten more and more frayed in recent weeks with one source describing it as "getting uglier" even after Dunn put his notice in Christmas week.

As we noted Dunn wasn't going to let anyone else dictate how he ran the TV production side after four decades of being in charge and Endeavor was obviously looking to cut costs. More as we confirm Dunn's next move.​

Yeah, I’m pretty sure someone else reported it as well that it wasn’t really a retirement so much as a clash with Triple H and TKO. He was very much a Vince guy and rumors swirled for years Triple H never liked him.

When Vince “retired” in 2022 or whenever it was, a lot of people thought Dunn would be one of the first people to go because he IS a “Vince McMahon guy”

It’s been rumored Hunter wasn’t a fan for years. So I guess it all makes sense. I wonder what he deemed “disrespectful” though

Probably being told to not shoot WWE like it's a fucking Godfather film, but like a sports program.

I don’t even know why he’d want to keep working. He’s totally loaded and he’s old. Go to the beach motherfucker.

Dude, I’d love to be able to just sit by some drinks on the beach, but maybe he thinks that the sand is just really rough and coarse and it gets everywhere.

“From my point of view not violently quick cutting away from the action to the crowd is evil.”

"Hold on, this whole quick cut operation was your idea!"
