Kevin Dunn (WWE Executive Vice President, Television Production) did not attend the WWE Survivor Series PLE. Dunn was absent because he reportedly took a vacation for Thanksgiving week and everyone noticed because Dunn doesn’t miss major premium live events.
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer followed up on the story with the following:
“While the idea of Dunn taking a vacation would feel to me to be a non-story, internally we were told it was a pretty big deal backstage at the show that Dunn would miss a PPV event. The talk backstage, and we were told it was heavily talked about but one of those things where there was no evidence either way, is the idea of viewing War Games as a JCP/WCW concept and he’s been around like Vince [McMahon] in fighting that war and thus has a different viewpoint on it than Paul Levesque [Triple H] who grew up a fan of JCP.”
Brian Fadem reportedly ran the production truck at Survivor Series.
