Dillkid Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 He hates wrestling. Despises it. He's also got considerable sway with Vince McMahon and makes a shitload of money despite being embarrassed to be a part of the industry. Â Bastard. I was hoping it would be something really controversial with a massive read. Jim Cornette has a bunch of stories about him in his most recent Shoot Interviews. According to Cornette, Dunn's father worked for Vince Sr in a pretty similar position. One night he was driving home and Dunn Sr's car caught on fire or something, but it had the videos of the TV Taping matches that had been taped earlier in the evening in his boot. Rather than just leaving the burning vehicle, he went back and rescued all the tapes, and as a result his son has a job for life for with the company due to some sort of indebtedness. As Lee said, the guy is not a 'Rasslin' fan, but a fan of Sports Entertainment. Becuase of one set of Syndicated TV tapings in the 70s? According to Cornette. It is on the NWA Legends Fanfest 2009 Q & A 'A Conversation with Cornette' if you want to try and dig it out. If you have never heard him rant before, there is some great stuff on there. Even has a tale about how he reduced Dunn to tears by making fun of his buck teeth. I think I read about it in one of Cornette's Power Slam interviews.

Magnum Milano Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 According to Cornette. It is on the NWA Legends Fanfest 2009 Q & A 'A Conversation with Cornette' if you want to try and dig it out. If you have never heard him rant before, there is some great stuff on there. Even has a tale about how he reduced Dunn to tears by making fun of his buck teeth. Because Cornette's an oil painting. He has a haircut like Tin-Tin's grandad. I'm sure, no matter how ugly Kevin Dunne, he doesnt have to go home to what Cornette wakes up next to on a morning. Â I just home he doesnt have Kevin Dunne's email address. I'll try and summarise, but it was when Cornette was on the Booking committee circa '97. The pair of them got into a row over something, and Cornette made fun of Dunn's teeth before just leaving the meeting. He was later told that he would have to apologise to Dunn as he was upset over what Cornette said. He ended up apologising, at which point Dunn broke down, saying that he was bullied over his teeth at school. Cornette's response was to the effect that he earned over $500,000 a year, and if he was that bothered by his teeth, why doesnt he just get them fixed?

Does the beaver have a fear of dentists or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillkid Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Double post, but i'll turn it into a question. Why was Goldust let go in 1999? Edited May 7, 2010 by Dillkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 He requested for his release as he didn't like the way the Goldust character was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was going to be a main eventer in WCW under the Seven gimmick, until they sacked his Dad before his debut.

TildeGuy~! Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 The network also made WCW drop the Seven gimmick because they thought the public would liken it to a child abductor...I'm not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOlympicHero Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Who were the three guys in Roddy Piper's Family who appeared on WCW Television around February and March 1997?

Does the Third guy resemble Eugene maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted May 8, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2010 Odd question, but still. Â When did Al Snow make the change from the double strap full body singlet with short legs to the standard full leg pair of tights with no upper body. I assume it has something to do with Steve Blackman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
