Backstage news on why long term WWE employee left the company

By Anutosh Bajpai - May 23, 2020

We noted before how longtime WWE employee Michael Mansury left the promotion earlier this month after informing the company about his departure in advance.

His departure shocked many people because some within the company considered him to be the ‘next’ Kevin Dunn and the former WWE Official was considered a big part of Triple H’s team.

The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter provided some update on his departure and it notes that he left the company because he had gotten impatient when it comes to upward mobility in the company.

The Observer also noted that anyone who is seen as the successor to Dunn has their life “made difficult and they get constantly criticized” to Vince McMahon.

Michael Mansury joined the company in 2009 and became Vice President of Global Television Production after rising through the ranks over the years. However, he had been at the same position since 2016.

Just think, if Dunn’s father hadn’t saved those video tapes, we might have been spared shaky cam, would have always had different sets for Raw and Smackdown, and actually gotten to hear more promos from wrestlers with accents.

Dunn and Vince are a package deal. If Vince can get Alpha Sports off of the ground, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kevin go there.

So in about 6 months, the successors as lead executive producer and CEOs have all left WWE. In this case, it sounds like either he knows Vince and Kevin aren’t going anywhere for a while, or that the company will get sold and he won’t get the position he covets. No one really looks good in this report.

If Dunn doesn’t resign within 10 minutes of Vince being totally out of power, I promise you he will be canned within 24 hours. Dunn is the very definition of dead man walking. He is completely out touch and has zero value in 2020.
