Has Bill gone too far?

New accusations of unprofessional behavior by WWE head trainer Bill DeMott have surfaced this week. Austin Matelson who performed in NXT as Judas Devlin made a number of disturbing claims on Vendetta Pro Radio and social media on Monday. He also says he tried to share his story with management in a letter of complaint, but it is not clear if there was an internal investigation. DeMott remains doing his daily schedule.

Demott is alleged to:

- Ignore diagnosed injuries and put talent in dangerous situations to exacerbate them. With a partially torn PCL Matelson says he was ordered in to the ring to deliver “10 Fireman’s Carries” to an exhausted “280lbs Gary Jackson” who collapsed and aggrevated the injury.

- Encourage talent to hide injuries so they don’t look weak to WWE.

- Often tell talent to do moves without allowing them to stretch and warm up.

- Set up situations where inexperienced and exhausted talent land on their heads and necks.

- Ridicule injured wrestlers.

- Use homophobic and inappropriate language.

- Mocked the death of the British Bulldog in front of everyone.

- Physically slapped and wished death upon Enzo Amore. Demonstrated how to do a move incorrectly by dropping him on his head.

- Kicked Alberto Del Rio’s brother Memo Montenegro in the groin and mocked his Mexican accent.

- Deliberately try to bust open students’ lips.

Ryan Nemeth, the older brother of Dolph Ziggler who used to work in developmental, says he experienced similar things under DeMott:
