Is it somewhat insulting/embarrassing that Albert is the head Trainer at WWE NXT?

This. You can be the best wrestler in the world but might not have the teaching skills, people skills, or simply the patience to be a trainer.

So does this prove my point about Lance Storm then? Because he has no people skills.
And as far as @mrken12 yeah, Blue Pants didn't know how to handle herself backstage, which is definitely a Dudley trait, and why they got fired and went to TNA in the 1st place. Like I said in an earlier post, its not about wrestling, you have to see how stars handle themselves in the WWE atmosphere as well, see how you can excel, etc...Albert couldn't do that.

People are reaching to defend this. The fact is, throughout history, the best wrestlers have trained the best wrestlers. The thing here is, the older generation (Gagne'so, Dunks etc) are properly old now, and the generation after them are all enveloped in the WWE system, and I highly doubt the wwe can pay them enough to live in Orlando full time, move their families, and be trainers.
Especially when if they really want to, they can just open up a wrestling school themselves.
There are guys that didn't come from legendary wrestling schools and made it, but they're exceptions, not the rule. And in most of those cases, even if where they learned the basics was meh, they really learned the game from someone else after the fact.
Like Trips being traiNed by Killer Kowalski, but really learning from years of being picking up the game from HBK, Hall, Waltman, and later Flair
The real sports analogy doesn't work because Michael Jordan can't teach you how to take off from the free throw line, but Ric Flair absolutely can teach you the right timing for a transition spot, how to get the most from a control segment, and how to keep track of the tally light to know what camera to work to.

Are you basing how good you're training is based on what you accomplish in the WWE? which said wrestler would have absolutely no control over?
The real sports analogy actually works exactly the same. Theoretically who would be better to work with Dwight Howard to expand his game from just being a guy that can run and jump than Patrick Ewing who's game transcended his size? Same with Isiah Thomas with a scoring guard, who would be better to teach a scoring guard to blend that ability within a team? In real life, neither guy are really cutting it as coaches, whereas guys that were reserves in the NBA or never played in the league are successful.

Right, coaching a team versus coaching a player.
the 2 best examples of this: eddie sharkey and hiro matsuda...these 2 were not big stars but they trained some all time greats

If I was them would get William regal, fit finlay, and Daniel Bryan to teach them with the occasional appearances from sting, booker t, and austin to teach them about promos.

Y'all letting y'all inner mark out.
U can't use what these dudes did in a fake sport as a basis for their ability to teach.
Most greats aren't great teachers. Because they do everything on instinct.

Only good series of Albert matches were when a certain he we shall not named carried him.
Then, that was exposed cause like a week later.
he we shall not name had an even better match with a similar template against rikishi.
So, no...Albert has never had a good match from his own work rate.

It's embarrassing and insulting that this thread is a thing.
