Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter praises new WWE hire

Bill Apter is a fan of WWE's new hire to replace Kevin Dunn after he resigned from the company.

Lee Fitting was hired by the promotion to replace Kevin Dunn after he stepped down as the Head of Production. Fitting has experience working on major ESPN shows such as Monday Night Football and College Gameday. Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter praised Lee Fitting and said there was a freshness to the current product:

"Since the new person from ESPN [Lee Fitting] has taken over the Kevin Dunn spot, there is a whole fresh look to the production of RAW and SmackDown, and even NXT, and I love it. Kevin Dunn's stuff was brilliant. The new guy's stuff, I forgot his last name. The new guy's stuff is brilliant, too. It's a whole new, it's a freshen up too from what the product was. I think it's going along with the growing of what's going on now." (14:07 onwards)

The Rock is scheduled to appear on the next three episodes of SmackDown ahead of WrestleMania 40. Only time will tell if the promotion has any surprises in store for fans ahead of the biggest show of the year.
