Former WWE NXT Head Trainer Bill Demott recently appeared on The Roman Show and talked about (amongst other things) keeping up with the WWE product and the talents that impress him:
On still following WWE:
“If I was involved in the level of success, I get happy. On WWE Night of Champions, every title holder came from NXT. For years they’ve been coming from the system and for years I am that old retired coach that gets to see the players become successful.”
On talent that impress him:
“I was happy for Erick Rowan, who stands out in my mind. He is a big kid and has a ton of talent and then when they called him and he joined the Wyatt Family, he really stepped up to the plate. It goes back to Ryback who says, ‘look at me now’ and how he has stepped up. Across the board, look at The Miz, who many thought he wouldn’t achieve and look what he has achieved. They are all great athletes. People wondered about Jack Swagger. He was an All-American in college. They all surprise me. I’ve been surprised, but not surprised when they rise to the occasion.”
