For young rookies trying to make it in WWE, it must be great to be taught by former Superstars with decades of experience.

However, there have been some people associated with the Performance Center who haven't been up to standard, often leading to termination.

When Billy Gunn tested positive for a steroid-like substance at a powerlifting competition, the company was swift to fire him, which must have been tough for COO and close friend of Gunn, Triple H.

A much better-known controversial figure is Bill DeMott, who worked as the head trainer of the facility, despite various accusations of homophobia, sexism and bullying.

The final straw for DeMott came when it was alleged that he was making rookies perform dangerous drills, and though the former trainer has always declared his innocence, WWE let him go.
