Even though his dad and grandfather died relatively young (69 & 72) I think his mother is still alive or lived 90+ years. Could be ducktales though but if true we might have to endure Cokeboy for 1 more decade AT LEAST :sadcam:
Can the company handle another decade of that?

That's a good question. I think we are in year 4 in the "Cokeboy Has Lost It" Era (Summer of Punk being the birth) and the company is still strong. But how long can that last with horrendous booking? :patrice:

Year 4? What about how truly awful 2009 and 2010 were? They caused me to stop watching regularly and I never got back in. Guest hosts. Anonymous General managers. Losing multiple top stars. A hot new group being fed to cena for no reason. I think 2011 is a good point to pick but 2009 and 2010 are strong candidates too. They did take that 750 splash last year don't forget.

Dunn been around since the 80s, he aint going nowhere
Pretty much. As long as Vince is alive, Dunn will not be fired. I didn't even know about this

As legend has it, Vince McMahon promised his father that he'd take care of of a variety of specific people who had ties to the the company for their entire lives, and Kevin Dunn is one of them. Dunn's father, Dennis Dunn, was Executive Producer of Intermedia Productions, which produced and syndicated (W)WWF television from 1972 through some point in the early '80s. The elder Dunn had endeared himself to the McMahons by risking his life for the company. One night, after a TV taping in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, he was driving home with the tapes of the show in his trunk when the car caught fire. Dennis made sure to retrieve the tapes from the trunk, as losing weeks of TV shows could have seriously disrupted everything in the promotion.

Also, do people really think Dunn is the problem with the current product? He was around during the piff days of WWE/WWF too giving us those monster promos and hypes to matches.

I'm almost inclined to believe Stephanie McMahon is the one feeding Vince with the "We dont need to call it Wrestling or acknowledge it" shyt in recent years. Hell, the Rock leaving in the early 2000s and hating on CM Punk is also on her fingertips

If we're supposed to believe the dirtsheets Dunn is deliberately trying to bury upcoming NXT talent with shytty gimmicks (see Adam Rose, Ascension and the Adrian Neville Mighty Mouse rumor) because he's trying to downplay Triple H's eye for talent, seeing that H behind the screens has been replacing a lot of the old guard with new faces. So Dunn is sabotaging the product so he can kiss up to Vince saying H isn't ready to run the company yet.

That's also fueling the recent moves by H of trying to make NXT more than just a developmental show, because he knows once they're called up the guys he worked so hard to build up will get buried, and bringing in guys like Rhyno, Brian Kendrick and possibly Samoa Joe will help him get that separation.
