I thought that Tough Enough shyt was a joke but he really does slap dudes up lol

He'll try that with the wrong dude one day though. Dude will probably miss his shot at WWE but I bet you Hugh Morrus won't try that shyt again

I don't think its a coincidence that Richie Steamboat got a career ending injury during his time in NXT (which followed with Ricky Steamboat losing his passion in NXT as a trainer) Bret Dibease had a hard time as well , shortly after Ted Diabese JR. left :patrice:


Now we have Corey Graves on the commentary team after getting concussed. This all happened on Demott's watch :mjpls:

Tommy Dreamer spoke about it.
"I ran the WWE developmental center, I ran OVW, and I ran Deep South. I like to say that wrestling training is different. When I was trained by Johnny Rodz, I was stretched in holds to the point of crying. I remember sometimes driving back on the BQE, and my hands were literally shaking, because I was stretched. I was pushed to a peak physically. With that being said, that is training. I think there could be some merit, but it doesn't help that these accusations are coming from ex-talent. Because then it looks like its sour grapes. It would have to come from someone, and no one would speak up, if they are current talent or just walked away. I walked away from the WWE because I was not happy. I was not happy, not happy because of something that anybody did to me. I just wasn't happy at my job, so then I walked away.

"Training is hard. This business is very, very hard. I have my own wrestling school. I don't believe in going in and beating people up, but Bubba Ray and Lance Storm have schools as well, and they will look at it and say 'if some of these people were actually in a real fight, or beat up, they would learn how to sell.' When I was there, I had one problem with the WWE developmental center. I went down there and kicked everyone out. I said, 'Guys, gals, I hired each and every one of you. I need to know if something is wrong so I can fix if for you. If you don't want to tell me, you can tell me privately.' I handed every single one of them, all sixty of them clipboards with my hotel and you can meet me privately. Not one person stepped up.

"If there was a problem I had with Bill DeMott, or any of my trainers, I would go to my boss, who would then go to Vince McMahon. When I did have a problem with Bill, I said let's put a video camera in there. They said 'ok, no problem.' I never had a problem with Bill personally or professionally, and I do think he is a good trainer. Not all coaches like their players. I've seen on Twitter people stick up for Bill, and I have seen people not stick up for Bill. Everybody's situation is different. If there were homophobic slurs, then yes that has to be addressed. I know that when he worked for me, everything that I asked, he did. I had a problem where someone brought up racism. I said, 'Hey, let me hear it.' Then no one said anything. I was willing to help you. There were no ramifications, no ramifications whatsoever. Let me cure this problem, then there would have been no problems."

It shouldn't matter if it's ex talent or not saying it, the fact that none of this shyt is being investigated is the problem. 3 different accounts of people saying Enzo is treated like shyt, and more then likely if you ask him he'll say it was an accident or he was joking out of fear of losing his job.

He probably was tortured by everyone on the roster back in the day and he's taking all his aggression out on these dudes that are scared of getting let go if they retaliated

I wish someone had the balls to stomp his ass out in front of everyone

It's deeper than that. He probably had a shytty childhood or alcoholic parents.

Exactly. There's no smoke without fire.

Another former WWE developmental talent, Drew Donovan, who was known as Chase Donovan, took to his Facebook and made the following comments:

"For the record, Everything coming out in this WWE Developmental fiasco is pretty much one hundred percent true. More people would speak out if it weren't for that "maybe they'll hire me back" mentality. Not b---hing, complaining, trying to correct an injustice, looking for a handout, or anything. Just saying. Now stop messaging me for confirmation and let me be depressed about turning 30."

"A certain point comes where you just lose respect for a dude for NOT punching someone in the face. Nude top rope squats is pretty much that point. Luckily I must have missed that day."
