10 Things You Didn't Know About Paul Bearer

1. He Hated WWE Number Two Kevin Dunn

Of course, there€™s always something more traditionally cynical and €˜smart€™ to post, and this certainly qualifies. Bill Moody was old school through and through - he liked to say that he was one of the last true graduates of the old school before the place was closed for refurbishment. Kevin Dunn, on the other hand€ isn€™t. WWE's Executive Vice President of Television Production, Dunn has been the main line producer on every WWE live event since 1988, and has been a member of the board of directors since 2008. And he€™s officially the most hated man in the WWE, and has been for years. That€™s more hated than Shawn Michaels at his substance-abusing worst. Long before Stephanie McMahon took on executive responsibilities, and long before Paul Levesque was even a hapless WCW jobber called Terra Ryzing, Kevin Dunn was Vince McMahon's true right hand hand, the perfect WWE sycophant and the author of/enabler of anything non-wrestling related on this wrestling show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrorCihArEQ Now, Jim Cornette hates everyone€ but not Bill Moody. No, Dunn was one of the only - if not the only - people that Bill Moody actively despised. They clashed on every conceivable level: Dunn was (and still is) a WWF/E lifer, embarrassed by professional wrestling as a concept and as a practical exercise, and devoted to proving the case that sports entertainment is a more powerful brand. Moody was a pro wrestling manager, a southern gentleman beloved by almost everyone that knew him. Kevin Dunn retains his position entirely due to the level of support provided by Vince McMahon himself. Scuttlebutt, like gossip in a vendetta kinda mood, has it that the moment that McMahon loses his vice-like grip on the WWE, Dunn will be history. It couldn€™t happen to a nicer guy.
