Back when Cornette was with the company, Dunn wouldn't have had those deep ties... I think. I'm not sure when the incident happened.

Dunn's dad was actually one of Vince Sr's employees, and Kevin himself worked for the company almost from the very beginning of Vince Jr's reign (supposedly, the two Vinces actually promised Kevin's dad that Kevin would have a job for life with the company because of how highly they valued his dad's loyalty). On top of which, he's pretty much responsible for every single TV product most people today think of when they think WWF/WWE, and Vince has always considered him an important part of the company's success (and he's profited from that position - Dunn's probably made more money working for the company than anyone not named McMahon). Part of why he has so much influence NOW is because of how long he's been one of Vince's go-to guys, and how much Vince sees him as part of the reason why the WWF/WWE managed to get where it is today.

Vince was friendly with him long before he ever met Cornette - in fact, Vince would have known Dunn for more than a decade before the first time he ever MET Cornette, let alone when Cornette was actually invited to be part of the inner circle working on booking and talent relation stuff (which is when the incident in question would have happened).

Kevin Dunn's always been woven deep into the fabric of the company. It's part of why, as much as smart marks shit on him these days or how badly he gets along with Triple H, he's almost certainly never getting fired until he dies/retires, or until Vince drops dead.
