As of Friday pm we had only 3 VIP tickets left for our RINGSIDE w/ Jim Ross Show on Sat Match 28 in San Jose at the Rockbar Theater. $20 General Admission seats are still available at ticketweb.com and will be available at the door the day of the show. VIP meet and greets start at 11 A.M. on March 28 with the show starting at 1 pm ending at 3 pm. The WWE HOF Induction Ceremony location is approximately 10-15 minutes away from our venue and the HOF starts at 5 in San Jose. So, it's very easy to make our event and still have plenty of time to attend the WWE HOF Induction Ceremony. I hope to see you there and if you get to San Jose you can still buy your $20 ticket at the Rockbar Theater Box office. Pinup Productions and Richard Ross have done an amazing job promoting this show of which we are very grateful.
Bill DeMott, formerly the head coach at the WWE Development Center, has resigned amid controversy even though none of the allegations against have been proven to be true at this time. It's been way too long since I was in Orlando to observe that operation but I was nothing but impressed with it the many times I was there. I even thought at one time of volunteering to move there and help in a more hands on manner I liked it so much. Some people who have never been that involved in organized sports often times take stereotypical locker room talk or hard coaching in a negative way when that technique of motivating athletes to become their best was the norm in the past. I vividly remember some 'lectures' that I received from my late father after arriving home on a Friday night after high school football games in which I played. This whole matter of the allegations against DeMott somewhat reminds me of how Adrian Peterson disciplined his child by using a switch on the child that got AD in major trouble. Obviously, times have changed because my Mom & Dad would both have gotten in big time trouble if spanking or using a switch on their only child was treated as it is today. I'm not condoning child abuse in any form whatsoever but one has to wonder just what is the proper method to discipline children in today's society? One thing I know is that most parents who want to be their children's best pal often times regret that philosophy later in life. But I digress.
Bill DeMott was a hard nosed, demanding coach somewhat along the lines of men like Bill Watts, Verne Gagne, Ole Anderson, Eddie Graham and others who trained some of the biggest stars in the business but in different eras Certainly DeMott wasn't sort on passion but, according to some that have accused Bill of less than professional behavior, based on today's standards, and that's what we all have to abide by in every walk of life, was abusive them. I like being somewhat demanding on rookies because it has to be ascertained if the prospect truly wants to be in the business or not. It's better to find out early so that the prospects in question can move on, train elsewhere, or simply move to the next phase of their professional lives.
This I do know and we see it virtually every day in sports and entertainment as well. Younger people are noticeably different than the same age individuals were not that many years ago. This generation of 20 something's often times bring with them complex personalities and at times a feeling of entitlement and a certain level of defiance. These traits often times complicate the training or coaching in a variety of sports as well as in sports entertainment.
