Kevin Dunn ( WWE VP ) Kevin Dunn , a fixture at WWE for more than 20 years , can trace his roots in the television industry to his early childhood . His father , Dennis Dunn , served as Executive Producer of Intermedia Productions , a program producer and syndicator first commissioned by Vince McMahon , Sr . to handle all WWE production beginning in 1972 . After learning the ropes of the TV business at his father ’ s knee and through more formal education at Towson State University , Dunn was hired full - time by Vince McMahon , Jr . in 1984 . He functioned as an associate producer of all domestic WWE programming from 1984 - 1987 . During this period , Dunn had the rare opportunity to hone his producing and directing skills on some of the landmark telecasts in wrestling history . He was an integral part of the production team which brought a radical concept called " WrestleMania " from the drawing board to reality . This event not only signaled the dawn of the modern wrestling era , it served as a benchmark for the later development of the entire pay - per - view industry . He also functioned as Line Producer on one of the most successful live events in television history , WrestleMania III , which drew an unprecedented 93 , 000 fans to the Pontiac Silverdome and countless more via pay - per - view . Dunn ' s early successes were not confined strictly to the wrestling arena . His talents received mainstream media exposure working on projects like " The Slammy Awards , " a product of the then fledgling MTV Network in 1986 . Soon after , he began working on an immensely popular late night show airing on NBC called " Saturday Night ' s Main Event . " It was at this time that he had the unique opportunity to work hand in hand with Dick Ebersol , now President of NBC Sports .

This period of Dunn ’ s tenure also marked the beginning of WWE ' s brief foray into the bodybuilding milieu , when he was actively involved in the TV production of WBF Championship productions in 1991 and 1992 . In 1993 , Dunn was named Executive Producer of all WWE programming , both domestic and international .
