After a legendary 40-year career turning WWE’s production from a garage band into a rock concert, Kevin Dunn has decided to drop the mic. Known for adding more sparkle to WWE than a glitter bomb, Dunn’s pyrotechnics and video production wizardry have been the stuff of legend. But at 61, Dunn figured it was time to let someone else play with the fireworks. Enter Lee Fitting, a hotshot from ESPN, ready to sit in the director’s chair starting 2024.
On the sidelines, Eric Bischoff, the guy who once thought filming wrestling in a studio was a genius money-saving hack (spoiler: it was), chimed in with his two cents. “I’ve got to tip my hat to Kevin Dunn,” Bischoff mused on “Strictly Business,” likely while stroking an imaginary beard of wisdom. “But maybe, just maybe, he got a bit too cozy in his production throne.”
Bischoff, a maestro of mixing things up back in the day, suggested that sometimes, you’ve got to stir the pot to keep the soup interesting. “Innovation isn’t born in boardrooms,” Bischoff declared, probably imagining himself as a pirate captain steering the ship of change. “It comes from that one person with a wild idea who just goes for it.”
And it seems Lee Fitting has taken that message to heart. WWE viewers have already noticed some fresh camera angles on “WWE Raw,” making fans feel closer to the action than a front-row seat at a family reunion brawl.
So, as WWE turns the page to a new chapter in its production playbook, it’s clear that the only constant in wrestling is change. And maybe, just maybe, a little bit of controlled chaos behind the scenes is exactly what’s needed to keep fans on the edge of their seats. After all, in the world of wrestling, it’s not just the athletes who need to be ready to try something new — it’s the visionaries behind the camera, too.
