So, I was digging around the internet the other day, trying to find some dirt on why things have been a bit, well, shaky in the wrestling world lately. You know, some wrestlers jumping ship, others not getting the push they deserve, that kind of stuff. And I stumbled upon this juicy tidbit: apparently, Triple H and Kevin Dunn ain’t exactly best buds.
Now, I’ve been following wrestling for a while, and the names Triple H and Kevin Dunn always pop up. Triple H, the guy who’s now running the creative side of things, and Kevin Dunn, the long-time executive producer, basically the guy who makes the shows look the way they do. You’d think these two would be a dream team, right?
Wrong. Turns out, they’ve got a history, and it ain’t pretty. I started reading these old forum posts and articles, going back years. People were saying that Dunn has always had his own way of doing things, a specific style, you know? Lots of quick camera cuts, shaky cam, zooming in and out like crazy. Some folks love it, others hate it. But it’s his signature, and he’s been doing it for decades.
Then there’s Triple H. From what I gathered, he’s always been more about the in-ring action, the storytelling in the ring. He seems to appreciate a more, let’s say, “classic” style of production. Less flash, more focus on the wrestlers and the match itself. You can kinda see that in NXT, the developmental brand he was running for a long time. It always felt a bit different, a bit more raw, compared to the main shows.
So, here’s where the trouble starts. I kept reading and found out that these two have reportedly clashed over the years about the way things should be done. Dunn, being the veteran, probably didn’t appreciate some young buck (well, not so young anymore) telling him how to do his job. And Triple H, being the ambitious guy he is, probably wanted to put his own stamp on things.
- Camera Work: This seems to be a big one. Triple H apparently prefers a more steady camera style, letting the action speak for itself. Dunn, on the other hand, is all about those quick cuts and zooms.
- Production Style: It’s not just the cameras. It’s the overall feel of the show. Triple H seems to lean towards a grittier, more realistic presentation, while Dunn’s style is more polished and, some might say, overproduced.
- Talent Presentation: Some folks online were saying that Dunn has his favorites, and he tends to push those wrestlers visually, regardless of what Triple H might have planned. This kind of thing probably didn’t sit well with the guy trying to create storylines and build stars.
Here’s What I Found Out About Their Disagreements:
I dug and I dug and I realized this wasn’t just a new problem. This has been brewing for years. The more I learned, the more I saw how these two different visions for the product might have caused friction behind the scenes. Some people are saying it is one of the reasons why some wrestlers left the company or why things have changed a lot recently. That’s some wild stuff, right? Who would have thought that just how the camera moves or how the show looks could create such a big fuss? Now, of course, this is all stuff I found online, so take it with a grain of salt. But it’s definitely food for thought, and it makes you wonder what’s really going on behind the curtain in the world of professional wrestling.
