Depends on the trainer AND the student. The point is that you can't be a dicklord to EVERYONE. Especially if you're churning through a ton of people, you can't paint with the same brush. That's just shitty training.

I'd say "intentionally breaking a trainee's limbs on the first day of training" should be the low bar.
What does naked stinkfacing have to do with life on the road?
I do think some students who think they are hot shit probably need to be humbled. But how do you go about doing that? Not sure if humiliation is or is not the answer.

Yeah this needs saying as well. There's a VERY clear line between tough love and humiliating people.

Not any more than Sting-HHH. I have zero idea what this feud is suppose to prove or mean.
Sting vs. Taker at least has some sort of history to it and can provide one final match for the two, which is much needed. People like to bitch about The Rock and Big Dave's appearances, but Triple H and Taker in these one-off matches each year is just as bad, if not worse (especially compared to The Rock). Sooner or later they will have to stop relying on them, but knowing them they will beat it to the ground and call it epic.
In 2015, no trainer should be using homophobic slurs to his students, that at the very minimum should be reason to part ways with said trainer.
In any other profession, you'd be out the door in a second if you called one of your subordinates that.
Memo from released talent from 2013 leaked with tons of examples of DeMott abuse. Gained traction, Twitter trends, whatnot.
WWE then released a statement, saying the memo was a single complaint and they did a thorough investigation and could find nobody confirming the claims in the letter.
So yesterday another released talent released another letter from the exact same time with the exact same complaints made by him, completely discrediting the WWE statement.
DeMott remains employed at this moment.
This is the newest letter, the older one says pretty much exactly the same: http://www.sescoops.com/another-for...r-makes-strong-allegations-about-bill-demott/
My first thought was "I wonder who DeMott has dirt on" but then I remembered WWE in general likes to protect people like him.
They should be teaching you that wrestling is hard on the body and requires great conditioning, and respect for other wrestlers. That can lead to hard training, and it should.
But bullying them? Insulting them? Mocking their orientation or their race? Accentuating their injuries?
That has zero place in any training for any sport or performance, and DeMott can go fuck himself.

they should give Demott a new contract that gives him a pay raise, a prominent role in creative, and shares in the company, then fire him after he tells all his frens and family.

Hey guys, didn't know there was a dedicated wrestling thread on GAF but that's pretty awesome so I figured I'd pop in to say hello.
I'm going to Wrestlemania this year so I decided to prep myself by watching the previous 30. I've seen most of them but not in years. I finished WM20 last night and I have to say I'm surprised how much of these shows still holds up pretty well, at least for the most part. The only one that was bad from top to bottom was probably 18, otherwise I've found stuff to like in all the rest.

Kind of like the NFL.

Yes, absolutely.
Greetings, friend. Time to undergo the WrassleGAF Entry Ritual! Give us your Fave Five Wrasslers of ALL TIME!
It's been ages since I saw 20. Maybe I should go back.
Of course it's shallow. It's never been out of altruism, it's just easy PR for a company with a terrible public image and reputation they've been trying to shed (usually with little understanding of why they have that shitty reputation).
Welcome!
*Offers handshake*
Someone with slightly more knowledge of it all than me should make it though. I just wanted to pitch the idea of making a thread for it.
No. The OT threads are out of control.

How the heck is Demott the lead trainer anyway?
Like how did some random lower card WCW guy land that sweet gig?

If Ariana Grande gets a new thread every time a new song is released, Sex Scandal 2.0 gets one.
Probably just stayed there for a really long time and got promoted

Doing the same thing myself - through the first 4. The early WMs are really, really rough. 3 was great though - Savage/Steamboat was awesome. Also kind of amazed at how awful Rude/Roberts was in WM4. Like it was really dreadful.

Still waiting for a "What women in video fames have achieved TC status? (see op)"
I can guarantee there'd be some tasty bans over people not being able to resist naming Brianna Wu or Anita Sarkeesian.
