2. Kevin Dunn, Executive Vice President, Television Production
Kevin Dunn is Vince McMahon's right hand man and most trusted confidant. He has worked with Vince for over 20 years, and is credited with much of the success of the attitude era and current production values which are now standard in wrestling entertainment. But Dunn's influence stretches back way further than just the superbly produced content you see on Raw. Dunn was a key member of the production team which pitched something called 'Wrestlemania' way back in the day. Vince McMahon has called Dunn's creative vision and production innovations as "integral" to the success of the WWE. Such was Dunn's skill as a producer, he also worked for Vince's friend Dick Ebersol who was president of NBC, and Dunn was also integral to the production of Saturday Night Live. Dunn remains a driving force of power in WWE. He manages a production team of 140 people and runs all of WWE's live broadcasts. Since 2008 he has also sat on the board of directors. Outside of Vince McMahon, there is nobody as important as WWE's legendary producer.
