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.

TNA wrestler MVP was recently on Chris Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast. MVP confirmed his knee injury and stated that there are still tentative plans for him to wrestle at this Sunday’s Slammiversary pay per view main event.  He also confirmed that he has having ongoing conversations with TNA Creative in case he cannot do the match.However, MVP says TNA is having conversations about contingency plans if his knee does not improve.

MVP said that his doctors believe he has a torn meniscus and that so far, they are not sure on just how extensive the injury is. He mentioned he was also able to put weight on the knee just a few days ago for the first time since the injury. MVP also mentioned that doctors stated it may be best to determine the extent of the injury following a test of the injured area in the ring, quite possibly at Slammiversary.

Opinionated View- Fingers are crossed he can make it through the match.

Update on Possible Change to TNA’s Slammiversary Main Event (SPOILERS)

As previously reported, MVP suffered a knee injury on May 30th working a Preston City Wrestling event in England. At this time, his status for TNA's Slammiversary PPV is unknown. MVP is scheduled to main event the show, challenging Eric Young for the TNA World Title.

While there is no official word on his status, the feeling is that if MVP is out and needs to be replaced, that Bobby Lashley will be the one to replace him. Lashley is part of MVP's stable, and also scored a non-title victory over Young on the May 22nd edition of Impact Wrestling.

4/24 TNA Impact Wrestling Report

Just days away from the “Sacrifice” PPV, Impact opens up with highlights from last week and then Magnus’ music hits and the former World Champion strolls down to the ring.

Magnus starts his usual opening “ladies and gentlemen this is your champion speaking” but stops realizing he no longer holds the belt. Magnus says he doesn’t look at it as he lost the belt or was beaten by EY, but he was let down because good help is hard to find these days. Magnus says that he is going to break wrestling tradition and not talk crap about Abyss behind his back. He says he wants Abyss to come out so he can say what he wants to say to Abyss’ face. Magnus is holding some big hook or something in his hand.

Abyss comes out to the ring and Taz reveals that the “hook” is actually part of a turnbuckle. Magnus says Abyss is a 6’8”, 300 lb. “blithering idiot.” Magnus threatens to hit Abyss with the turnbuckle if he tries to attack him. Magnus says that Abyss makes him sick and he’s starting to realize why everyone in his life abandons Abyss. He calls Abyss a “gigantic disappointment” and he only asked Abyss to do one thing, make sure that no matter what the World Title stays with Magnus.

Abyss reminds Magnus that MVP said anyone that came anywhere near the ring would be fired on the spot. Magnus reminds Abyss that he has a contract with Magnus not with TNA and then he fires Abyss from his personal service contract.

Abyss asks Magnus if he is really going to fire him and then points to his mask and says it was never about the money with him, it was about Abyss having a sense of belonging. He says he befriended and trusted Magnus because he said that he was Abyss’ friend. Magnus laughs at Abyss and Abyss says he realizes that all Magnus is, is a self centered arrogant jackass! Abyss says he is “THE MONSTER” and Magnus better remember that he hurts people and destroys lives. Abyss says since he is no longer an employee of Magnus he will start next with Magnus!

Magnus says Abyss does not have a contract with him or TNA so if he lays a finger on him he will have Abyss arrested for assault. Before anything else can be said MVP walks out and interrupts both men.

MVP says that Abyss is not one of his favorite people but he understands that in life people deserve second chances, and MVP wouldn’t be standing here today if he wasn’t given a second chance. MVP says if Abyss wants a place to belong and since he was just fired MVP will give Abyss a second chance and a full time spot on the TNA roster. MVP says he will give Abyss a spot on the roster if he wins his match tonight…against Magnus! Magnus freaks out and says that MVP can’t do that but MVP says he can and he did! MVP literally skips up the ramp and Abyss says that he never liked Magnus and he’s going to kick his ass.

EC3 approaches Rockstar Spud in the back and says he isn’t going to give Spud a speech to fire him up this week. EC3 says what he saw in Kurt Angle last week was the “real Kurt Angle”, and in that moment he realized something. He says that he realized there is only one man in the world that can beat Kurt Angle and that man is Ethan Carter III. EC3 says he has a plan tonight and he knows he asks a lot of Spud, but tonight he needs Spud to be his “gazelle” rather than a “lion” in his match with Kurt to exhaust Angle.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

“Olympic Hero” Kurt Angle vs. Rockstar Spud w/EC3

Spud keeps trying to walk back down the tunnel as he was making his entrance but EC3 made him get in the ring. Spud begs Angle not to hurt him but then shoots for the single leg on Angle only to get Gutwrench Suplexed across the ring. Spud kicks Angle in his previously injured knee repeatedly but then gets destroyed with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. After every spot Angle stares down at EC3. Angle beats on Spud and then whips him into the ropes and attempts a backdrop only to get kicked by Spud. Angle chases Spud out of the ring and when Spud slides back in the ring he distracts the referee as EC3 holds onto Angle’s leg not allowing him to get back in the ring. Spud then hits a Sliding Dropkick underneath the ropes onto Angle on the floor. Spud rolls Angle back in and hits a series of right hands on the Olympian. Spud climbs up top and dives off with a Missile Dropkick as he yells “I’m a gazelle!” He only gets a one count. Spud climbs back up top and Angle quickly gets up to the top and tosses Spud off with a Belly-to-Belly Overhead Superplex! EC3 gets on the apron and Angle knocks him off and then locks in the Ankle Lock as Spud taps quickly!

Winner: Kurt Angle via submission (Ankle Lock)

EC3 chop blocks Angle’s previously injured knee and then goes to put on the Knee Lock, but Willow runs out and chases Spud and EC3 off.

Backstage Angelina Love tells Velvet Sky that things are getting ugly with Madison Rayne. Velvet picks up a makeup bag and sarcastically says whatever is in that bag certainly doesn’t have anything to do with things getting ugly with Madison. Angelina says tonight out of the goodness of their hearts the Beautiful People will give Madison a makeover.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Backstage MVP walks into his office where Kenny King is sitting. MVP says that King has been going around making himself comfortable everywhere hasn’t he and King says MVP doesn’t realize that King should be headlining in this company. MVP says he has a match tonight so he can’t be worrying with King but if he wants a match tonight he’ll give him one. King gets excited and says of course he’s ready and MVP says he has a person just for King tonight. MVP refuses to tell King who the opponent is though.

Madison Rayne comes out to the ring and she says that she’s heard that the BP really want to give her a makeover so instead of sneaking around they can come out right now.

The Beautiful People come out and Angelina asks Madison what’s wrong and that she is looking a little rundown lately. Angelina asks if her “little baby” is keeping her up all night, and she knows Madison wants to be a role model for her kid but doesn’t she think that she should be showing some thankfulness for the amazing offer BP gave her for a makeover.

Madison says they’re right and she forgives them for what they have done to her, and then Madison apologizes to them. She says that she is sorry “because I’m about to do this” and then attacks both of them! The numbers game gets the better of Madison and BP beat Madison down.

Angelina screams at Velvet for disrespecting them and says Madison was a nobody before they allowed her into the BP. She says the only reason they hired her “ugly butt” was to make them look better. Brittany runs out and attacks BP!

The numbers game gets the better of her as well and Velvet hits a big clothesline on Brittany and then Angelina throws her to the floor. Velvet hits In Yo Face on Madison and then Angelina pulls out the trusty brown paper bag. She puts it over Madison’s face and wave Madison’s hand around while she is laid out.

Earlier this week Mr. Anderson is shown in Samuel Shaw’s hometown.

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

During the break Gail Kim approaches Madison and Brittany and says that The Beautiful People are taking the Knockouts division in the wrong direction and she isn’t going to allow them to ruin her division. She says that everyone knows she doesn’t get along with either one of them especially Madison and she may not like Madison but she does respect her. She asks Madison to be her partner and Gail is right something has to be done about BP. Madison agrees to be her partner and Brittany says she’ll be out there in their corner. Madison says she’s already told her before that she appreciates it but she isn’t ready for this and no thanks.

Kenny King vs. Bobby Lashley

King didn’t seem too thrilled to have to face Lashley. Lashley grabs King at the bell and takes him down and then quickly grabs King and takes him down yet again.

Lashley hits a Sidewalk Slam and King quickly rolls out to the floor. As Lashley poses to the crowd King tries to sneak back in the ring and attack him from behind, but Lashley shows off his freakish athleticism by leapfrogging a charging King from behind.

Lashley puts on the brakes and then grab the referee and moves him out of the way. King tries to poke Lashley in the eyes but Lashley blocks it and puts King in a wristlock.

Lashley sets up for the Spear again but King rolls out to the floor and crawls up the ramp as he has had enough.

Winner: Bobby Lashley via countout

Another video of Anderson in Shaw’s hometown is shown. Anderson pulls him to Shaw’s parents house and a creepy looking older woman comes to the door. She looks eerily like an older Christy Hemme, and her name is Christy as well. Anderson makes a hilarious face to the camera as she invites him in.

In the back, James Storm approaches Bobby Roode in the locker room and asks if he is getting ready for their match calling him “partner.” Roode laughs and asks Storm if he has forgotten that it was just a few months ago that he beat the hell out of Storm in a bar. Storm laughs and says he hadn’t forgotten about that and he also hasn’t forgotten about the time Roode broke a beer bottle over his head and took his World Title away from him. Storm says memories like that don’t just go away and Roode of all people should know that the “Cowboy” doesn’t forget even when he is sh*t faced drunk. Roode laughs and says now that that is all cleared up why does Storm want to be his partner. Storm says because when they were partners no one could beat them and they were the best, the best tag team ever. Storm says they could go out and kick the crap out of others together, drink cold beer afterward, and then the next night beat the crap out of each other and not blink an eye. Storm says that is the respect they had for each other but he never once received any credit for making Gunner a star. He just wants to grab Gunner and say, “sorry…NOT SORRY” and then kick his teeth down his throat. Storm then says that it’s also a plus that he can make Gunner’s old man cry again when he kicks the crap out of Gunner and both laugh at that. Roode says he knows exactly what he’s talking about because there is something about putting Bully Ray through a table that puts a big smile on his face, and then Roode says Storm knows that Roode never smiles and Roode gets serious. Storm says he’s right so they need to stop talking and get this thing done.
