– Another person has come out supporting the stories being told about Bill DeMott abusing WWE trainees. Drew Donovan posted the following to his Facebook page:
“For the record, Everything coming out in this WWE Developmental fiasco is pretty much one hundred percent true. More people would speak out if it weren’t for that “maybe they’ll hire me back” mentality. Not bitching, complaining, trying to correct an injustice, looking for a handout, or anything. Just saying. Now stop messaging me for confirmation and let me be depressed about turning 30.”
– Brian Baker, whose letter to Canyon Cemen regarding abuse at DeMott’s hands leaked yesterday, posted to Twitter about the story:
“I haven’t said anything publicly on the issue regarding my name on certain things. However I will discuss it on my next podcast, which will drop Sunday March 8th. I never set out to seek attention positive or negative, the story was leaked by someone else. I was happy living my life being an Indy wrestler, having a podcast and spending time with my family which I had missed for 6 years. I’ve been getting a lot texts, messages calls etc. about my time with WWE when I was Brandon Traven…everything will be address (sic) on my own podcast so that you get the story from me and know one else. But know this, I leaked nothing it was sent out without my knowledge, I am not bitter. In fact I’m very happy with my life now, if you have listened to my podcast before you know I’m in a good place. But, what’s out is out. And it will be addressed this Sunday.”
– Taz discussed the Bill DeMott situation on the latest episode of his Human Podcast Machine, which you can listen to at the link provided. Taz talks about the situation from the perspective of someone who trained alongside DeMott and as a trainer. He notes that while no one should be saying he’s guilty or innocent if they aren’t directly involved, he recognizes that this is a different era from when they were trainees.
