Think with Ross, it was mostly just Vince who would constantly bully him and mainly because of Vince's twisted sense of humor. Also had the benefit of being higher in the chain of command and respect of the locker room so a lot fewer potential bullies for him to deal with.

If the sheets are correct, Mauro pretty much was dealing with this stuff almost from the start and got worse once Vince soured on him because he suddenly decided on wanting another "Cole" type announcer.

Still don't understand at all at the thinking any of this is Mauro's fault or he's the weakling for leaving WWE's toxic workplace. If anyone blew it, its the WWE for losing out on a high profile announcer because Vince and co. can't stop acting like little children and bullies. Then they wonder why wrestling still has some terrible stigmas attached to it.
I'd assume since Jim Ross hasn't been on the road with WWE, is old, is not part of the new commentator up-bringing, and has a legendary voice fit for legendary matches, and the fact his wife just died, as reasons why he signed on for a part time deal... not because he was worried about what Vince or JBL would say to him.

"It was mostly just Vince"... um wouldn't that be the ONE person you don't want "bullying" you? Like Mauro possibly had JBL (which he has denied) bullying him, not the head of the company.

And no, if anyone blew it, it was Mauro. I can't imagine in '93 Jim Ross finds out from Vince he has to wear a toga at Mania IX and throws a hissy fit about it and quits because he expected to be treated different. No. That's not how it works. You adapt to your dream jobs, they don't adapt for you.
