William Charles DeMott II (born November 10, 1966) is an American retired professional wrestler, road agent, and trainer.

On February 21, 1994 DeMott received a tryout match with the World Wrestling Federation at a Monday Night Raw taping at Poughkeepsie, NY.

He made his television debut as a member of The Dungeon of Doom as "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus (a pun on the word humorous) on the November 18, 1995 episode of WCW Saturday Night in a vignette inside the Dungeon, where Kevin Sullivan told his (kayfabe) father, The Master, that he was giving him something he never had: laughter, and that he was giving him "the man from the Isle of Nowhere."

DeMott returned in early 2000, utilizing the same name and ring attire, but squashing a number of wrestlers as an angrier version of himself.

As the leader of the Misfits, Rection feuded with Team Canada's leader and United States Heavyweight Champion Lance Storm, with the two trading wins until Rection defeated both Storm and a turncoat "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a handicap match on October 29 at Halloween Havoc to win the title.

DeMott would then resume his pursuit of the United States Heavyweight Title until the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) bought out WCW.

Aside from a pay-per-view match at Invasion on July 22 where he, Shawn Stasiak and Chris Kanyon defeated Big Show, Billy Gunn and Albert and an Intercontinental Championship match on the August 27 episode of Raw which he lost to Edge via disqualification, Morrus was relegated to wrestling on the company's secondary shows Heat and Jakked much like his fellow WCW alumni.

While off television, Morrus performed at house shows and worked in company's developmental territory Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA).

He made his television return on the April 6 episode of Jakked alongside fellow WCW alumnus Chavo Guerrero Jr. and defeated The Hurricane and Funaki.

Morrus was soon relegated to being a mainstay on Jakked and later Velocity until late July 2002, when he was legitimately injured in a motorcycle accident and had to take a leave of absence.

The victory saw DeMott immediately receive a push that saw him squash several established wrestlers, including Funaki, Shannon Moore, Chuck Palumbo, Crash Holly, and Rikishi weekly on SmackDown!.

DeMott wrestled his last televised match on the June 14 episode of Velocity, where he defeated fellow WCW alumnus Chris Kanyon.

[10] DeMott was released from his WWE contract on January 19, 2007,[11] with Tom Prichard taking his place as DSW's head trainer.

In March 2015, Devon Nicholson described an incident from 2006 that DeMott was involved with while he was head trainer for the WWE's Deep South Wrestling developmental territory.

[22] Following the conclusion of Tough Enough, DeMott replaced Tom Prichard as the head trainer for the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory on June 2, 2012.

[10] After FCW was rebranded into NXT, DeMott retained his position as the head trainer, and continued in that role when the WWE Performance Center was opened in 2013.

[23] These allegations were made by Kevin Matthews, Mike Bucci, Ivelisse Vélez,[29] and Devon Nicholson in 2012,[28][30][31] Chad Baxter and Chase Donovan in 2013,[27] Curt Hawkins in 2014,[24] as well as several wrestlers including Judas Devlin, Briley Pierce, Brandon Traven, Derrick Bateman, independent wrestler Terra Calaway, and Kenny Omega from late February to March 2015.

[25] On March 6, 2015, DeMott publicly denied the allegations on Twitter, but also announced his resignation from WWE "to avoid any embarrassment or damage" to the company.
