Joey Ryan Hints at Legal Threats Over DeMott Situation

Joey Ryan has taken to Twitter to suggest that someone is trying to keep Bill DeMott’s accusers quiet by way of legal threats. Ryan, who has been a vocal critic of DeMott amidst allegations that the former WWE head trainer was physically and verbally abusive, took to Twitter today to suggest that lawsuits have been threatened over the situation:

2. "I'm innocent but I'll go ahead and accept the maximum punishment for this thing that I totally didn't do."

It's so calm lately. Almost as if lawyers threatened to sue all of us if we kept telling the truth.

DeMott stepped down as head trainer after the allegations kept piling on and has maintained his innocence throughout.

Opinionated View- Well it wouldn't shock me. DeMott was in a powerful company and the WWE has never hesitated to use the law when the could. Also DeMott had to have some upper level friends to be in the position he was in. Plus in general WWE isn't going to want to keep having people say bad things about the company.

Now I should also say this. DeMott is out of the company for some that could be enough. And just the cycle of news is a story fires up. But after so long it fades away.

More Come Out Against Bill DeMott

UPDATE: Another former developmental talent has come out today to back Austin Matelson’s claims that Bill DeMott was abusive to developmental trainees. Kevin Matthews sent the Sports Courier an account from Ryan Collins, who Matthews said was released shortly after sending the letter.
The full letter is here, but some highlights are below:


On DeMott being physically abusive: “As I was sitting on the table, she examined my eyes and reaction time. Eventually Coach DeMott came in asking what happened. I told him the story of how everything happened, he then accused me of making things worse. Which is not uncommon as Coach DeMott gets angry and standoffish at any sign of injury. The main part of this story that angers me is that as he was leaving the trainers room, Coach DeMott slapped me on top of the head. This really angered me as I don’t believe he has right to put hands on anyone especially like that. I was lucky that my head injury wasn’t too serious. His negligence in this situation could have worsened my injury.”
On being buillied: “I have also grown very tired of how Coach DeMott has constantly bullied us. Whether by physically hitting us, or by calling us gay. He has on numerous occasions alluded to me being gay. His favorite phrase is “half a sissy” not to mention him calling me and others ‘faggots’…I have also witnessed Coach DeMott try to rip a t-shirt off Alexander Rusev, shortly after he had neck surgery. He has on numerous occasions called Oliver Grey (Joel Pettyfer) Pedophile, smacked Enzo Amore (Eric Arndt) in the mouth. He has also told Enzo to kill himself on atleast one occassion that I heard with my own ears.”
Joey Ryan and MVP commented on the stories, posting to Twitter:

Ryan: DeMott isn't only villain in Judas story. Canyon Ceman is Sr Director of Talent Relations & chose to ignore issue

MVP: @JoeyRyanOnline Damn. That shit is STILL going on?

Opinionated View- As I said earlier stuff like this has been thrown at DeMott for years. I think he even got fired from the WWE when he worked for Deep South. But someone keeps giving him a chance. I know some will argue "Oh you need someone like that." But there is a line between tough and being a jackass.

PWG Battle of LA Night One Results

*Kevin Steen defeated Chuck Taylor via a package piledriver. The match was loaded with comedy spots including doing moves to a fan's San Francisco Giants hat.

*Brian Cage defeated Tommaso Ciampa. There was a very, very scary moment as it appeared Ciampa botched a powerbomb on the outside the ring and dropped Cage on his head. You could see how bad Ciampa felt and it was extremely scary. He told the ref to count Cage out. Cage stumbled back into the ring and Ciampa rolled him up, expecting cage to actually take the pin but Cage kicked out. A ton of heart showed by Cage but obviously I hope injury is not serious.

*Johnny Gargano defeated Willie Mack via submission.

*Roderick Strong defeated AR Fox.

*Drake Younger defeated Joey Ryan via cop killer onto a pile of candy and Legos. The match started normal but then turned into comedy spot with wrestlers selling the bag of thumbtacks gimmick but actually pouring candy and Legos into the ring.

*ACH defeated Tony Nese. Solid match. ACH hit his Fisherman's DDT suplex deal for the win.

*Kyle O'Reilly defeated Trent Baretta with an armbar submission. Best match of the night thus far.

*Michael Elgin defeated Rich Swann with a spinning powerbomb. Another great match.

*Adam Cole & The Young Bucks defeated The Forever Hooligans & TJP. Amazing match.

TNA Cuts Several Talents From the Roster.

TNA has released former Gutcheck winners Taeler Hendrix and Christian York. TNA has also released former independent stand-out Joey Ryan from his contract.

Ryan was part of an angle with Al Snow last year that led to a match at Bound for Glory. Hendrix made very few appearances for TNA after winning the Gutcheck, last appearing a few weeks ago against Mickie James. York hasn't been seen on TV in a couple of months, his most notable appearance was a PPV match at the January Genesis PPV, losing to Kenny King. 

The most well known name cut was Madison Rayne. Rayne has been with the company since 2009. Rayne held the knockouts title four times. She is currently out due to be pregnant with her first child.

According to multiple wrestling media sources, the releases made by TNA today were due to budget cuts that have been going on for a while now due to the added expenses of producing Impact on the road and recent executive departures.

Opinionated View- First this is sadly how business works and it sucks when it happens. I'm ok with TNA making cuts put honestly I would have held on to all of these talents over a few TNA has on the roster. But I'm not making these calls. As for the budget stuff I know some sites will no doubt start the "Sky is falling" talk.
