Continuam as críticas sobre Bill DeMott

Depois das denúncias feitas esta semana por dois antigos talentos do NXT sobre o comportamento agressor que o treinador Bill DeMott teve para com eles quando estavam na brand, as críticas sobre o treinador do NXT continuam a ser divulgadas.

Eis os relatos da lutadora Terra Calaway que fez a sua estreia no wrestling em 2010 e comentou sobre um seminário onde esteve presente com DeMott:

"As someone who has been bullied my entire childhood and even more so now as an adult, I stand behind those who do something about it.

At a training seminar, where students paid $100 a person to be in the ring and learn, I witnessed DeMott call a Middle Eastern trainee "Aladdin", "terrorist", and "fat fuck" multiple times. During a bump drill that was nowhere near safe for a green trainee to be doing, he just embarrassed and humiliated him. When anyone else did the drill correctly, he'd turn to this guy and just bash him. When I did the drill, he said "Look even the girl can bump better than the terrorist!". This continued to the end of the session where he told everyone good job, except this guy, and told him to "fucking quit and go back to building bombs." It was completely uncalled for and made everyone uncomfortable.

This guy spent his hard earned money to learn from someone, to get better only to be told to quit and have all these names and insults thrown at him. I have been, and continue to be, bullied and I cannot just keep quiet when the world is finally trying to do something about it. To fix it. To save lives.

Even with me, he screamed at me from across the venue asking why I was not in the seminar. I arrived 30 min before it was scheduled to end and at the time did not have the funds. He continued to yell from across the venue at me as if I had done something wrong but I got in there for the last bit and did it without warming up, without stretching, just so I wouldn't continue to be shouted at for no reason at all. It's just sad that this is what people have come to. That's all I have to say.

This was all like 5-6 years ago, before I had ever stepped foot in a ring to wrestle. It was a long time ago, but some things never change."

O antigo talento do NXT Austin Matelson (Judas Devlin) esteve presente no Vendetta Pro Radio e comentou sobre o tema e recordou a sua passagem pelo NXT:

"WWE's investigation into my claims allowed the accused Bill DeMott to interrogate me in his office...where he kept a gun."

Here are the bullet points of what Judas stated in the interview:

* He claims to have emails from talent relations that prove they did not do a full investigation

* Talent relations wrote to him that, "the talent he named corresponded to a bottom five list to be fired." This seemed to coincidental to be true and if they (the talent) wanted to tell their story to call them (talent relations) because, "that's what real men do"

* Talent relations betrayed Judas's trust and told Coach Bill DeMott of his letter

* DeMott interrogated Judas in his office, where Judas claims, that he held a gun inside his desk that talent such as Konnor and Rusev had also previously seen

* Judas being alone with the man he claimed was the bully, Bill DeMott's questions in fear of his life

* This denial led talent relations to drop the investigation into his complaint as they felt he was not speaking the truth to both sides

* Judas claims that telling DeMott he sent documents to get him fired could have led Bill to hurt him, maybe even snap and use the gun. Judas was frightened and felt completely alone in the matter

* Judas claims that only a handful of talent was called about the matter and afraid to come forward because their careers depended on silence

* No talent has once denied that any of Judas's claims are true-

* Judas claims that after his first rushed surgery a talent meeting was held with DeMott and talent relations and they asked anyone with a problem to stand up. Only Paige stood up to complain about harassment from the strength coach

* Judas Claims the month after Bill found out about his human resources letter was complete hell

* DeMott stopped talent from riding to shows with Judas

* DeMott began to use "Judas's HR letter" as a punchline with talent at practice

* DeMott called Judas a "pussy" for writing this complaint

* Judas claims to be very offended by the continual use of anti-gay language by DeMott

* He claimed that he was pitched as a member of the Wyatt family by Dusty Rhodes but Bill allegedly said "Judas was too gay for that spot"

* Judas then was rushed into two hip surgeries without being given a full medical investigation

* Judas was then paid to live in Los Angeles and rehab for almost 2 years and could not speak out for fear of losing his healthcare

* Judas was on the verge of early retirement based on WWE medical's opinions but went to his own doctor and received a spinal MRI

* This separate doctor told Judas that he had a herniated disc causing symptoms in his hip

* Judas attempted to take this MRI to WWE lawyers but they wanted nothing to do with it

* Judas parted ways with company this past fall and began his own rehab on his back

* Now Judas claims he is 100 percent healthy and has a second chance at wrestling, and wants to help future talent avoid the pitfalls that he went through

* Judas implores WWE and talent to speak up against the ongoing injustices of DeMott. Saying "Silence makes losers of us all"
