10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Bill Demott

9. WCW/WWF Jobber

Bill DeMott's career had few real successes. He was a WCW United States and Tag Team Champion, sure, but that was in the company's dying days when they were lacking direction and major star power. Hell, this was during the time that Z-list actor David Arquette won the World Heavyweight Championship. For most of his career, Bill Demott was a jobber or 'enhancement' talent. He was paid to go to the ring, have a match for a few minutes, make the other guy look good and then, inevitably, lose. There were intemittent pushes for DeMott, such as in 1996 and 2000 for WCW and in 2003 for the WWE. But they didn't last. No, DeMott was not a huge superstar. He was a dependable undercard guy. Why is he the guy training WWE's prospective developmental talents then? If WWE are trying to find the next Randy Orton or John Cena, than is a lifetime jobber really the person to be grooming them? Of course, not all top guys can be trainers and not all trainers can be top guys. It seems that the best trainers (like Lance Storm) were never on top but had a firm understanding of the business and knew what they were doing in the ring. Is DeMott really a guy that should be in charge of moulding the next big thing?
