They have employed Ava Rayne for 5+ years to satisfy him.

We got Nia back, The Rock can do whatever he wants.

They're expecting him to work Elimination Chamber apparently, so they'll have to hire at least one more cousin.

The buzz around Mercedes coming back is as strong as ever.

The match she was supposed to have with Giulia is now being filled by Trish Adora. Plus all those sly hints she’s been posting everywhere. Hints = confirmation, in my opinion!

Honestly I think both will be WWE bound by mid 2024 and would not shock me if Sasha & Giulia(Or whatever name she will go by) tangle it up at a late year NXT PPV as a 1 off. 

Andrade: Making a Difference

The minute he saw Triple H take hold of the company again, dude had his ticket punched one way back to Bristol. Gotta assume Charlotte will be traded to RAW when she is healthy again.

This is probably the ex champ(NXT?) Triple H is hinting this Monday. Just curious who is his manager with Vega in LWO/SD. I would have assumed maybe Electra Lopez as a means to get back at Vega for taking her buddies if WWE thinks she's ready(She is) but I assume they want Lopez around for Lola Vice's development.


EDIT: AEW contract isn't up till middle of next year so no idea how he's appearing on RAW. :lol: Maybe TK just lets Andrade go as some good will gesture. 

I would assume if he were to come home, he'd join what is left of The lWo and look to feud with Legado del Lotharios, let's call them that...

And the swerve bro, he then turns and joins LdL and likely spends 2024 putting Dragon Lee over.

Kevin Dunn is set to leave/retire WWE, holy shit boys it's happening.



Corny is having an amazing 2024 with him and maybe Jericho getting the shit handed to em.

I don't like to use the word hate, but I feel strong dislike towards Kevin Dunn so I feel like partying.

Do it Tony. Do it for the shits and giggles.

I don’t have feelings one way or the other about him. Has he been the subject of a podcast or something I’ve just not heard of? He seems usually universally disliked which is odd for someone who doesn’t appear on camera.

Vince loses power, he retires. Makes sense. Can't think of a single person other than him that was on team bucky beaver.

Dunn is a strange one. I’m not saying I’ll miss him, but I do think it’s strange that this guy is so universally loathed when everyone knows he runs production, and most people acknowledge WWE production is best in class. I’m sure it’s related to the glittering of the presentation that’s been taking place for 20 years now, but it’s a bit odd nevertheless.

It's a great point.

I think the camera direction needs to be separated from the rest of production. That's where the main gripe seems to be - the fucking cuts during action.

He also had a tendency to be Vince's right hand man as of late and was part of the scripts being scrapped last minute on talent and him micromanaging time on talent(Of course you have to be hard when it's network TV but still). I also think he and Vince were pretty rough on commentary as well, almost control freak levels from what I have heard.

Cornette had long history with Dunn because he wanted to do away from the pro wrestling portion of WWF and was apart of the group that wanted writers & for wrestling to go the reality TV route.

I've done some research:

He basically had a job for life because he father saved the WWE tape library from burning to the ground when his car caught fire.

Mox wrote about him messing with people's careers. Mox called him a " fuckbag "

He reportedly hated wrestlers with accents, particularly Becky and Shemaus. And went out of his way to bury Becky once upon a time.

He hated NXT, being a Triple H project and all, the awful 2.0 rebrand was partly his idea. He was also alleged to have been responsible for burying a lot of NXT call ups.

A comment I found from 10 years ago, basically noted he was a big opponent of Triple H modernising the product, hence his hatred for NXT.

Brian Mann confirmed he would deliberately miss shots to make other power brokers look bad who were producing segments, notably of course Triple H and Steph.

Mann noted Dunn’s opinion on women's wrestling, this was confirmed by Freddie Prinze Jr. noting Dunn rated pitches for storylines and titles reigns on the attractiveness of the women.

On that, there's an old rumour the Diva Searches were a way of " boosting morale for the boys " you don't need to read between the lines here. The old rumour was they hired a bunch of models so the boys didn't stray too far and get themselves into trouble in the outside world. That's the rumour, don't hate me for posting it. This was his idea apparently.

Paul London commented that Dunn was trying to get Ashley Massaro onto Vince's jet knowing Vince didn't exactly have the best intentions.

VKM and women. Enough said.

JR said he was in his ear on commentary as much as Vince, and some of those segments where they bully JR on TV was Kevin Dunn’s idea.

Paul Bearer was apparently one of the nicest and most gentle people in the wrestling industry, yet he hated Kevin Dunn.

He's generally dispised because he has held a lot of power and influence in the company for decades. In short, he's a stooge, a Vince McMahon " yes man " who was against modernising the company's booking. It is believed, he believed he was in WWE's succession plan to eventually run the company instead of Hunter, hence his hatred for Triple H and Stephanie and Hunter's vision for NXT, developmental and the TV product. He's as much to blame for the tired main roster booking over the years as much as Vince is. That, and generally a prick.

"Say it you son of a bitch. Say it goddamit it!"

Foley really didn't last long with them in his ear.

While the elusive TK continued to thumb his nose at the internet, swaggering about in a garish new hat, he did note Andrade El Idolo was leaving AEW.

(I know this post is months old but seeing Jeremy Borash's name pop up as a replacement for Dunn)


JB is expected to take Dunn's role. That's an upgrade actually, Borash has a great creative mind. Was sort of the architect on so much of the good from TNA and on Black and Gold NXT.

He looks and carries himself like such a star that with the WWE hype machine behind him I could see him being very successful.

Also if Reigns takes a break after Philly, his special counsel will have some spare time on his hands to recruit a new talent.
