Bill DeMott trainee defends his style:

Velvet Jones says DeMott is tough but fair, He was responding to a torrent of anti DeMott stories coming out of WWE developmental...

"Bill was the kind of guy, where if he trained you and he saw something in you, he did all that he could to get you to see it in yourself and try to pull it out of yourself. He wouldn't let you shortchange yourself. He can make you a better wrestler. His style... it wasn't discriminatory, it wasn't abusive. It wasn't distasteful by any stretch of the imagination."

Ex WWE star charged with murder:

Brian ''DT Porter'' McGhee who made the news last Summer just before his WWE release for a series of worrying social media posts, where he was begging for help with his alcoholism and was suffering from some Mental issues as a result, including threats to harm himself was involved in an auto wreck yesterday, unfortunately that was the end of a tragic story. McGhee allegedly assaulted his Girl Friend outside the apartment complex they shared stabbing her multiple times before jumping in his car and fleeing from Police, he eventually wrecked the vehicle and was taken to hospital, suffering from multiple injuries. Police say they will charge him with First degree murder as soon as he is well enough to be aware of the charges he faces. 

Another shocking twist emerged later, he took a picture, allegedly of the victim after the attack, but before the Police arrived and made it his profile picture on his Facebook page. I am not going to post it here, but you can see it at this link if you so wish.

Dixie Carter speaks out on TNA releases:

"The relationship that fans have with wrestlers is unique and one of the many great aspects of the wrestling business. And, for this reason, releasing talent is never easy – not for you and not for us. But, bringing in fresh faces and the best wrestling talent in the world is what you expect, and what TNA will always strive to deliver. Recently, we have brought back some talent favorites (Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams and Homicide), and you will continue to see this and new talent that we are excited to introduce you to in the coming months."

Raw taping brawl:

Something I didn't mention on yesterday's post was a crowd fight at the second of this weeks 2 Raw taping's. Today it has emerged that one of those involved suffered a brutal beating in the incident, and was taken to a local hospital as a result of the fight. The incident happened when a fan confronted the Father of a child who was annoying him because he kept walking in front of his seat to get a better view. No arrests were made, and it is not thought the victim filed charges.
