10 Weakest Links In WWE Right Now

6. Kevin Dunn

For a man who's rarely thrust into the public eye, WWE Executive Vice President Kevin Dunn sure attracts a lot of criticism.

It's mostly warranted. While the company are rightly lauded for their outstanding production values (particularly when it comes to video packages, an area in which WWE are the undisputed best in the business), the way they present live television is distracting at best, and nauseating at worst, with Dunn the chief culprit.

Shots zoom in and out like a grotesque '90s rave video. Scenes chop and change relentlessly, with the producers seemingly incapable of settling on a single shot for more than three or four seconds without cutting away. The angles are often awkward and obtuse, with Dunn & his boys deliberately capturing matches from positions that leave shows feeling like a straight-to-DVD action film, not a wrestling event.

It's widely assumed that Dunn will be jettisoned when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon take power. Vince aside, nobody is more complicit in perpetuating the insultingly dumb idea that WWE aren't a wrestling promotion, but an entertainment company, and few fans will mourn his departure.
