Bill DeMott Resigns As NXT Head Trainer

Well, it’s over.There isn’t much to say on this one as this story popped up and was done in less than a week.  From what it seems, DeMott, who denies all allegations, was described as abusive, overly angry and pretty much a psychotic who treated his students horribly.  It’s probably a good thing that he resigned as it could have gotten a lot worse before it got better.  DeMott had been around for a long time so it’s kind of a big deal that he’s leaving.  This story was one of the biggest things going on this week but it came and went so quickly that it barely had time to get interesting.

There’s no need for this kind of behavior from a coach or anyone in WWE.  I have no problem with a coach being tough and stretching guys.  However, there’s a big difference between making someone work and making them put themselves in unnecessary danger or shouting ethnic, racial or homophobic slurs at them.  That’s abusing your students who might be scared to stand up for themselves.  If someone isn’t doing something right and needs to be yelled at then that’s one thing, but this came off as someone abusing his authority and not seeing the line he crossed a mile back.  That doesn’t need to happen no matter what.

As a side note, do you all want me to post more news stories like this?  I’ll never post a bunch of low level stuff like “here’s an interview with someone where they don’t say anything interesting”, but for bigger stories like this one?  I’ve been thinking about doing that for a long time now but I’m not sure how well it would go over.  Any thoughts?
