WWE VP of TV production departs company
While the name Michael Mansury isn’t one known to most WWE fans, his work likely is as the Vice President of Global Television Production was the director for many WWE TV shows and pay-per-view events.
First reported by PWInsider and later confirmed by Dave Meltzer, Mansury is no longer with the company as of last week after giving his notice several months ago. The reasons for his departure are unknown.
Why this move is significant is that Mansury was seen by some as the eventual replacement for Vince McMahon right hand man and executive VP Kevin Dunn. PWInsider noted that with Mansury and Kerwin Silfies’ recent departures, Dunn and Marty Miller, also a WWE director, will be handling the broadcasts.
Mansury, a 2005 graduate of Hofstra University, had been with WWE since 2009 when he started as a production assistant and was named VP in March 2016. Prior to that, he spent a year as a PA for MTV3.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
