I had thought about making a thread like this before, but I held back on it because I felt like it wasn't necessary.
Given recent events however, not only do I feel it is necessary, but that it's also a given.
For those who have been wondering, Road Dogg (noted Attitude Era legend) has been for the last several months or so been running SD as it's head writer. A move that has not gone unnoticed for those who noticed a severe drop in quality from the Tuesday show which has gone from the top show in WWE next to NXT to either a fallen titan or an absolute joke, depending on who you talk to.
This has lead to a vocal minority calling for the firing of Road Dogg from his position as head writer in the hopes a better writer (preferably Ryan Ward, the previous head writer for SD) can take the reigns.
If you are expecting me to give an opinion on Road Dogg's tenure as SD head writer, then you will be disappointed to know that I will not be doing so. Instead, I would like to make an interesting comparison that I don't think anyone else has thought of.
As we all know by now: Kevin Dunn has been in charge of production for WWE since back in the 90s and has for a long time been Vince McMahon's right hand man. He has also been known for garnering lots of criticism from wrestling fans. So, what's the comparison between the two you may ask?
It's simple: Triple H and Road Dogg are also very close together, having been allied on TV and behind the scenes since the 90s. Road Dogg also currently holds a top position backstage and also receives critique from fans. There are some differences between the two, but the similarities that are there shine brightly.
But that's just what I've noticed. What do you guys think? How similar are Kevin Dunn and Road Dogg and more importantly, is Road Dogg becoming the next Kevin Dunn?
