And then there's the whole bit that, for the longest time, OVW was a feeder for the WWE. So maybe there's something to it not coming out sooner, or maybe it's just bullshit.
Mix of people not finding the courage to speak up at the time and Cornette not being shy to threaten legal action whenever he feels his name is being damaged.

The shady stuff with WWE's developmental system isn't new considering they turned a blind eye to the bad stuff Bill Demott was doing back then until it became too public to ignore. Plus Vince back then pretty much didn't really care what was going on in developmental as long as it produced him a couple new stars for the main roster each year. Only reason Cornette got fired back then was due to Vince and co. finding out Cornette physically attacked a trainee and could have been on the hook for a potential lawsuit.
