Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted February 15, 2003 The following news is from the Torch Newsletter: # WWE Executive Producer Kevin Dunn is said to be in favor of shorter matches and more skits when compiling WWE television. Dunn is apparently a big supporter of the swerve-style booking such as the Billy & Chuck wedding and the Al Wilson/Dawn Marie honeymoon angles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my problem with this shit....They keep hiring these people in the Creative staff who aren't even involved in the Wrestling aspects and just into the alternative crap TV writing. This Doofus wants to Shorten the already SHORT matches to give more airtime to Soap Opera shit swerves and angles. When we first got the Brand extension stuff started we thought it was better because alot of the better matches with the better workers seem to gotten more time, sometimes extra 10 minutes and a commercila BReak. but if this yoyo wants to strip time from Benoit matches because he wants to see Dawn Marie 69 with Torrie or Torrie's "DEAD" Dad or something then fuck whats the point... I think its funny he wants to shorten the wrestling Matches to Improve a WRESTLING SHOW>... Dumbass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Raven_Effect01 Report post Posted February 15, 2003 That's it. If I notice this happening on Raw and Smackdown, I'll refuse to watch those shows for a while until they stop this shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted February 15, 2003 I blamed this asshole for the Dawn/Torrie angle, and I got lambasted because people said it was Heyman's doing. At least I feel somewhat vindicated. Fuck Kevin Dunn up his stupid ass with Al Wilson's rigid corpse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Good, it's about time they shorten those damn fine matches on Smackdown, ya know? I don't know about you but I'm tired of seeing good wrestling matches on my wrestling TV programs. Way to go Kevin Dunn, you have solved the problem with the industry today.

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Remember, to Vince and his staff, wrestling is a bad word. They produce AN ACTION-ADVENTURE SHOW, NOT A WRESTLING PROGRAM! Silly smarks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Remember, to Vince and his staff, wrestling is a bad word. They produce AN ACTION-ADVENTURE SHOW, NOT A WRESTLING PROGRAM! Silly smarks. Since when have soap operas or bad sitcoms constituted "action," "adventure," or any combination of the two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted February 15, 2003 It doesn't. I'm just quoting what Vince calls his WWE/F shows back in 99 when he would defend his product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted February 15, 2003 It doesn't. I'm just quoting what Vince calls his WWE/F shows back in 99 when he would defend his product. At least when Big Show rode his daddy's casket, it was somewhat entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted February 15, 2003 I think it is a case of big shock TVa angles not producing ratings, but lengthy, good matches on Smackdonw not improving ratings either. They are just picking one over the other. Bad choice for us, but it won't matter in the ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Yah I was talking to this about someone earlier. The insanly short matches on Raw. Damn matches end under 3 minutes. I'm really starting to get bored with wrestling in general because of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wwF1587 Report post Posted February 15, 2003 why stop there... why not shorten ppv matches too and have lots backstage skits and SHOCKING angles you can only see on PPV! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Hell, why not get rid of the matches completely? It's not as if anyone watches a wrestling show for wrestling. These days the audience demands action! And beverage holders in every seat! But mainly action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted February 15, 2003 I love how people like Riki Choyshu talk about how overrated Heyman is, and how he's responsible for stuff like the Dawn/Torrie angle and the backstage skits, even when it's fairly evident it's not his style, and then when this thread comes up they don't post in it. Reason #2,456 why Puro guys don't know shit about the WWE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Si82 Report post Posted February 15, 2003 Personally I'm sick of reading aboht the bunch of retared, fuckwitted "yes" men who crawl there way up Vince McMahon's pasty white old ass and fuck up the company with there moronic booking ideas. For fuck's sake! Shorter matches and more soap opera. Fuck you Kevin Dunn! Stick to the production aspect, you're good at that. I would rather have Russo back than this fuckwit. This company is fucking doomed. I think that I'm losing all hope for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest deadbeater Report post Posted February 15, 2003 If they are going to do that, then they must get, you know, guys who can write compelling TV. Dreamer is a good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
