Bill Demott’s taken more potshots in the past several years than Cypress Hill has for their entire existence, and it’s apparently for good reason. The NXT trainer/freelance hazer has come under fire for allegations of gross misconduct as a developmental coach (“unsolicited naked stinkface” being among the shuddersome phrases involved), and indy sensation Joey Ryan recently relayed some laughable statements about those clogging the Stamford works.
Among the comments:
“At WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on indies is as good as NXT guys. I’d LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks ‘good wrestling’ is.”
“Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that ‘WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn’t be as good as he is today.’”
“Candice Michelle went to PWG in 2008 & raved about me to John Laurinaitis. When I saw him, he said ‘What does a Diva know about wrestling?’”
Of course, this is all hearsay, but it holds more weight than, say, a snarky second-hand writer like myself bashing professionals in the biz. If nothing else, any glimpse into the distorted mindset of a company that can afford to be delusional makes for good reading.

And where has Bill put himself as a star? Mid-card at the highest, never a chance at the main event. Bill needs to lay off the Kool-Aid and get back to reality ASAP.
Hey, hey now, DeMott was Goldberg’s first victum, that’s…….uh……..something.
I’d rather be trained by Dennis Stamp than Bill DeMott. May not be booked, but I’ll know how to work 😉
I have no problem believing that the WWE retrained him to work WWE style. That’s what they’d always do with the indy guys because they have to “re-program” them so they’ll work in a way that the WWE wants and the audience expects.
Imagine training under Bill DeMott and having him tell you you aren’t good enough- how embarrassing.
Id say real hugh morrus bill, considering your claim to fame was being Goldbergs 1st jobber. You can stop acting like a hugh g rection, because bullying is no laughing matter.
Hugh Morrus never worked a good match in his life yet somehow became head trainer. That makes perfect sense.
I’m thinking “WWE re-training” entails learning how to take forever to get from the Titantron to the ring and to stretch in-ring promos to 15 times longer than necessary.
Also, learning how to not look disgusted when Super-Cena pops back up from your finishing maneuver.
You joke, but this is seriously probably part of it. It’s not so much the match working that needs to be “retaught” as it is the ring psychology.
I meant to say “promotional skills (i.e. selling PPVs and keeping cable TV advertisers/networks happy) and ring psychology”. That’s basically a WWE wrestler’s job: 1) Do what the company wants (which is largely arbitrary and doesn’t help anyone’s bottom line) and 2) Do want the network/sponsors want (which is the only thing justifying WWE’s continued existence).
Larry Sharpe never got above the midcard, and look at the guys who came out of the Monster Factory.
Les Thatcher is another good example.
In ring success is not a direct corollary to training ability…
But, yeah, sounds like Demott’s an a-hole.
a guy on Twitter tried making the same point about DeMott being a nobody, and I countered with Eddie Sharkey’s success as a trainer. That said, yeah, sounds like DeMott’s a crank.
Hue g. rection knows his stuff
Unsolicited naked stinkface? Talk about something that is no laughing matter.
I’m curious about where I can go to get a solicited naked stinkface.
Craigslist….or so I’ve heard.
Go to Sunny’s website. Only $50 AND you get a photo to take home with you!
Don’t be a bully, unless you were a member of M.I.A.
Well, based on the logic of “Don’t be a bully, Be A Star” those are your two options. And clearly, DeMott has tried and failed at being a star, so he was only left with the other path.
One day, Demott will get his. One day.
And boy, it will be glorious.
Who DIDN’T know they retrained Bryan Daniel?
