Still Big Boss on the Business Side.Helping the UFC Make deals.Managing and Leading the WWE TV deals. Still has big influence on how WWE Corporate. Runs and Works. He was ask to give his ok on putting ads and publicity on the ringside.
Also as TKO CHAIRMAN. Has Veto Power On Business Decisons of WWE and UFC. Has influence on TKOs Big Decisions and Deals. Has influnce on the Company Guidences. Can be chairman until dead, if he has a health problem or if he retires voluntary.
I heard about this on Brian Solomon's show the other day. He had a great story about Edge doing a run-in and sprearing Dolph Ziggler, which the production team missed while showing the crowd popping for Edge, and Ziggler tweeting "Does anyone have video of me taking the spear, because I'd love to see it."
I just hope the thing where one wrestler is punching the other and the camera alternates angles rapidly goes away. and the dumb LED board shit around the ring and on the posts.

@@trevorhembrough12901984-2024. 40 years, Vince Jr. promised Vince Sr. Dunn would have a job for life. He didn’t keep his other promises but… you know, money pal.
Also I don't think the WWE presentation will be much different. All these production people have been trained in the "WWE aesthetic" and they'll stick with it. The best we can hope for is that all of the pushes that KD shot down will now be pushed forward.
That's true, little-to-nothing will change production wise. To loosely quote the "NXT: The Future is Now" book, " we shoot things in a particular way, and that's why we have the same people all the time. We don't like outsiders because they don't do how we do it. Right, or wrong, it is not our way, so we have to retrain them." Loosely meaning - they have another "dunn" waiting to replace him
My main complaint is, there aren't any 'Mean' Gene Oakurland's in the buisness. He was literally one of kind. Gene and Macho-Man were a tag-team all their own when ever they did an interview together. Now it's just, insert whatever model girl with a mic and let the wrestler do all the work, for the past 30 years.
The mma fight Jim was talking was actually Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos, despite him mistakenly thinking that Junior was doing color. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. It was UFC debuting on Fox and it had a 1 hour show, with insane tv production quality for an mma show then. It did indeed end very quickly with JDS quickly catching Cain
Yup! I was just about to post the same thing. Remember watching it live with the boys all hyped up and then laughing my a$$ off when the fight was ended so quickly. Reminds me of the string of Mike Tyson ultra hyped PPVs that all ended under 5 minutes but cost people like $60 or more. At least the UFC fight was free
That event tanked the ufc fox deal too lol. Worked out in the end I guess, ufc got their ESPN deal and they're making a shit ton of money since covid. The ufc runs events out of their "apex", like a 300 seat sound stage and get the same amount of money from ESPN. They even ran a ton of ppvs there. It's honestly made me stop watching ufc. I really only watch ONE FC random Friday mornings and highlights. Dana, the Fertitas and the ufc being greedy killed the sport. Killed the fun.
@@shawnmacht3671 Ironically Jim Cornette doesn't want Kevin Dunn's job when we can see with the idea appreciating how the UFC Fox debut was handled in terms of production, that Cornette is the obvious perfect candidate, lol. Brian Last was sneaky af bringing it up at the end of the video.

The all time Dunn tribute show line up would be terrifying. Nasty Boys Vs Bushwhackers Max Moon Vs Kwang The midget match from WM3 The Great Kali vs The ECW Zombie
This Kevin Dunn is 61 (born in 1962). There's an actor with the same name that is 67 (but falsely listed as 68 on Wiki). The online info is confusing the two, giving the same birthday for both; but they do not share the same birth date...
The UFC event Jim Cornette is referring to is the first UFC on Fox event between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Championship that ended in a minute and 4 seconds of the first round.
Prichard is tolerable and doesn’t really give two shits anymore if his stuff gets on TV or not. Good for handling stooge work behind the scenes and the occasional Brother Love appearance.
Probably not. He has the most experience backstage in the wrestling business, let alone WWE and Hunter likely wants him around. I mean, Hunter still trusts him to run the show when he's not around.
Dick Ebersol should be credited with taking the WWF out of the early 80s. Just compare the production values of Wrestlemania 1 and Saturday's Night Main Event which were just a month apart
Yeah, I thought it was Ebersol who produced Saturday Night's Main Event. Didn't McMahon see the first taping and say "I didn't know wrestling could look that good." I mean, Ebersol changed their whole process. Multiple cameras, light the whole arena, let the home audience see the live crowd, etc.
This was the "you can't fire me i quit" resignation, because HHH absolutely hated Dunn and he knew his time was up. The fact that Hunter's "My Time" theme was throwing shots at Dunn shows just how far back his dislike goes.
@@zlinedavid ahh yes you are correct but now the TKO/endeavour deal is here they can bring in whoever they want when they want so he probably saw the writing on the wall
One thing they did on Monday was Micheal Cole and Wade Barrett in the Ring introducing everyone to the Show, I'm wondering if that will be something now going forward on Raw and Smackdown.
I think that was because it was the day 1 show and the hyped it as a special show but it would be good to see little changes like that. I know aew have schivaone come and be the interviewer but he's sent packing after like 30 seconds usually so there's no difference really there either
Dunn turned up to Gene Okerlund's funeral unlike pretty much everyone else in professional Wrestling apart from a handful as recounted by DDP I'm sure most here will know so that counts as something to me.
Seems like Endeavor is nudging Vince and his people out in order to move toward a UFC style production. I wouldn't at all be suprised if Dunn's replacement is a UFC producer. It's ironic considering that Jim said, over a decade ago, UFC had the essence of what wrestling used to be (including its former fan base).
I was saying the same thing. Aside from HHH….if there’s anyone in that company who really got a W when it’s all said and done, it’s Kevin Dunn. One of Vince’s right hand men. Probably never even payed for a flight in his life while employed by Vince while getting paid millions….He has fuck you money for the rest of his life
Dammit Brian Last, thanks for putting the idea of Jim Cornette taking over Kevin Dunn's job at WWE is in my head now. Imagine watching WWE and Cody Rhodes being booked like Smokey Mountain... wow I just realized how much fun Fantasy Booking must be for Tony Khan!!
I love how Jim's beem shitting on Dunn all these years, but even he and his goofy cohost both admit how hard he will be to replace and how unique that job is. There's nobody that can just jump in from some other tv job.
"When you see our product now, there is nothing that comes close to it's look or feel". So in the future could we get less camera cuts and maintain a shot until there is an actual reason to switch cameras?
Well as I suspected, this didn't disappoint me at all. It also revealed that Jim does not watch WWE because he said that they don't do interviews anymore when they do backstage interviews with an announcer all of the time.
Now we know why HHH didn't shitcan him, he just made Bucky quit instead, HHH probably told him to just point the fucking camera at the ring and leave it still and Dunn got pissy. Good riddance, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
One of the worst ones is the fact that they never seem to have the show booked until 30 min into the program. It started off as a exciting change of the program on the fly to make it seem like anything can happen. Somehow that became the norm and is done every week. "Oh we don't have the show booked but hopefully someone will randomly come out and insult someone so we can make a match on the fly. Oh well what do you know, it happened again".
After all the news at the end of the year I have been waiting with great anticipation for Jim and Brian to comment on what’s happening. People may not agree with their assessments but fucking hell they are entertaining and funny 👍
does this mean we MIGHT see different looks for each show than the homogenous look (that even AEW has now) for all shows? Also could this mean less AR/CGI stuff during entrances? some of those always looked hokey.
I just hope this means they’ll stop with up and down, zoom in and out crap they do whenever somebody gets stomped in the corner. Also cut the camera cuts in half and I’d be okay with that too.
I remember i watched a ppv and my eyes would hurt and suffer a headache. I didn’t know why until it was the constant cuts and zoom in and out. It was seizure inducing.
There are few things better in life than watching these videos and trying to imagine how the fuck the artwork is going to tie into one of Corny's rants
So glad he didn't hold back. There are way too many stories out there about him. Especially since this is Jim's second hated person. We all know who is number one.
There’s a Kevin Dunn in every job in the world. A complete tool who can’t read a room and has a way of doing things that make no sense to anyone with sense… but is somehow a supervisor or a manager because reasons.

"When you see our product now, there is nothing that comes close to it's look or feel". So in the future could we get less camera cuts and maintain a shot until there is an actual reason to switch cameras?
He knew when to say "yes" and when to not be around when the shit hit the fan. Those abilities gave Dunn a career.
Well as I suspected, this didn't disappoint me at all. It also revealed that Jim does not watch WWE because he said that they don't do interviews anymore when they do backstage interviews with an announcer all of the time.
**crunches**
Got a package in...
**crunches**
30 seconds.
**crunches**
Now we know why HHH didn't shitcan him, he just made Bucky quit instead, HHH probably told him to just point the fucking camera at the ring and leave it still and Dunn got pissy. Good riddance, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
😂😂😂
@@zacharythomason7359 Only idiot trash spams stupid shitty emojis.
Sounds about right
One of the worst ones is the fact that they never seem to have the show booked until 30 min into the program. It started off as a exciting change of the program on the fly to make it seem like anything can happen. Somehow that became the norm and is done every week. "Oh we don't have the show booked but hopefully someone will randomly come out and insult someone so we can make a match on the fly. Oh well what do you know, it happened again".
Hopefully he can get a job directing Buc-ee’s commercials.
I see what you did there
Hahaha😂😂😂
Or starring in them.
@@zlinedavid nah he doesn’t want to be on screen. There’s a reason he hid in the production truck for all of those years.
He's already the mascot
Hopefully they get the ring sound sorted now
Day 1 raw was certainly presented differently.
Were there less crazy jump cuts and zoom ins on every punch?
@@clouds2515 it was the first raw ive watched in years (obviously skipped women's matches) and its actually good
After all the news at the end of the year I have been waiting with great anticipation for Jim and Brian to comment on what’s happening. People may not agree with their assessments but fucking hell they are entertaining and funny 👍
I have been waiting for this for 15 years. Not just Dunn leaving but Corny's response
Jim Cornette on Kevin Dunn: He didn't suffer enough.
" you know jim ( makes beaver noises) , i find you tiresome"
"It's not 'wrestling', Jim (tkk tkk tkk tkk). It's 'sports-entertainment' (tkk tkk tkk)."
This might be my favorite illustration ever done for one of these clips, a lot make me chuckle. This one really made me laugh
I hit the asthma laugh, myself 😂
Finally! Cornette is back!
As soon as I saw the buckteeth in the thumbnail I had to click the video 😂👏🏼
does this mean we MIGHT see different looks for each show than the homogenous look (that even AEW has now) for all shows? Also could this mean less AR/CGI stuff during entrances? some of those always looked hokey.
Those CGI things are so horrible.
Did you know Kevin Dunn has an IMDB entry? No Wikipedia page, but he has an IMDB page. With a photo of him and his vacant expression.
Jim has waited for something like this for decades
Pretty sure Brian took the info of Kevin Dunn the actor when looking up his age, as he's exactly 68, and dominates the search results of the name.
I just hope this means they’ll stop with up and down, zoom in and out crap they do whenever somebody gets stomped in the corner. Also cut the camera cuts in half and I’d be okay with that too.
Kevin Dunn was pushed out of WWE. Thank God!
I remember i watched a ppv and my eyes would hurt and suffer a headache. I didn’t know why until it was the constant cuts and zoom in and out. It was seizure inducing.
Does this mean no more nauseating jump-cut snap zooms every time someone takes a bump?
That art work for Kevin Dunn especially his teeth is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome back guys
There are few things better in life than watching these videos and trying to imagine how the fuck the artwork is going to tie into one of Corny's rants
And this was the day PRODUCTION BECAME SOOOO MUCH BETTER
15:36 I almost died laughing from this part.
GOLD
I've missed that...
welcome BACK!
So glad he didn't hold back. There are way too many stories out there about him. Especially since this is Jim's second hated person. We all know who is number one.
Bro..
One word - "Heat"
"He is 68 years old" Lol, that's the wrong Kevin Dunn
The thumbnail is as on point as ever!!🤣 🦫🪵
Beavers are cute though
I almost couldn't even click on the video after seeing the thumbnail... I was laughing too hard! 😂😂😂
Corny & Brian are back, all is right with the world!
“Through no talent of his own.”
Stealing this
I guarantee you bucky beaver put his notice in because he can't kiss daddy vinces ass anymore which means his leverage and authority are gone.
Oh so the Jericho stuff must be incoming
Been waiting for that one
15:38 is what your looking for 😂😂
FINALLY, NEW CONTENT
Been waiting for this since I heard Dunn was leaving. Thank you
15:27 that Kevin Dunn impression 😂
This segment needed more impressions. Can't get enough of it
We need an entire episode where jim is doing kevin dunn impressions
I think TGBL looked up Kevin Dunn the actor by mistake, because he is 68. And I just read WWE producer Kevin Dunn is 62!!😬
they’re not going back to how it use to look, it makes 0 sense to do so but to please a minute portion of the fan
I've waited years to hear Corny do the Bucky Beaver voice again 😂
Someone like Dave Marquez would be great for wwe director, Director for NWA, XPW etc but also worked for disney.
