Former WWE creative team member Chris Dunn recently reflected on his time working with the promotion.
During his recent chat with the Public Enemies Podcast, Dunn shared his thoughts on a 2020 pitch to create a dating website for Ivar of the Viking Raiders.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview:
“I was doing all the off-sites with the Profits and the Viking Raiders. I became really close with those guys. That’s also too, trying to take an idea that’s not great and turn it into something. The original concepts for that [were] not great. But it worked out really well. When we kind of accidentally made Ivar a ladies man character, we wanted to have him talk and eventually open a website that would be ‘Vikings Only’, like Farmers Only. I think we changed it because of OnlyFans, like to [prevent] people getting confused, to ‘Vikings Mingle’. We literally had it in the script for seven to eight weeks, and because of how crazy the pandemic stuff was, things kept on changing on the fly all the time.”
Chris worked as a writer and producer for WWE from August of 2016 until July of 2021.
