He's not wrong but he should reach out if what he said hurt him.

They're working in a publicly traded company and not a part time retail gig, sunshine. You do not publicly humiliate your coworkers. Especially when they have a documented history of mental health related issues.

You can't treat people with kid gloves. This is real life. This to me invalidates whatever JBL said to him and his reaction to it. I now doubt everything.

I do think WWE needs to put Mauro on a performance improvement plan when he returns to work
* Remain seated during his job * Seek management approval prior to pop-culture references * Let others speak * Show up to scheduled work shifts Michael Cole probably going to have 'ream his ass' when Mauro does return. |

I truly believe Mauro Ranallo would be better off not being in that toxic environment. He doesn't need the WWE.

So Graves purposely antagonized Mauro just so he could potentially have something juicy to talk on his podcast show this week going by his apology. |

Feel like Graves was told to apologize to see if maybe Mauro might show up to work before next year.

Call him Corey Grapes, Mauro.

I’m looking forward to the next episode of Raw and the part where Graves rips off his face and reveals he was really Bradshaw all along.

"I would never intentionally cause anybody any undue stress, especially a co-worker"
What did he think was going to happen given Mauro's history... fucking idiot |

It's not okay to humiliate any colleague in any workplace, publicly traded or not. Retail part timers don't turn up to work desperate to get dumped on either. I don't think you can call this an act of humiliation anyway, it's definitely undermining though and that's not really acceptable either. It isn't something an adult should be upset by though, especially if they expect to continue on in an on-screen capacity where they will be judged by millions. |

Mauro should have just told Graves to get off his ass and go back to giving Carmella herpes ... and then ended it with Amy and the kids say "Hi"
That is how you deal with assholes ... become a bigger asshole. |

Pro Wrestling Sheet ended up reiterating Graves stance of the comments being nothing more than a joke and the gag would have played out during Survivor Series.

Mauro not being at the event ended up saving everyone from having to hear Graves bicker even more during the show considering how annoying his routine was with Renee and Bryon Saxton. |

Yeah that sounds like "total horseshit" and if it's somehow true, it's absolutely moronic
I don't blame Mauro for not wanting to potentially be blindsided by Corey Graves also attacking him on air |

so weird.
Again, respecting the fact that he's supremely mentally ill, how does he take other criticism. As has been pointed out ad nauseam, Graves was undoubtedly unprofessional. But it's not like he questioned Mauro's character or was like "wow this guy is shit." In fact, in a private conversation if he just said "dawg, some constructive criticism for you: IMO you should ease up on the pop culture references and let your colleagues speak," I don't see much wrong with it. I don't understand how this could lead to him being in rough shape unless he's just an egomaniac. At the end of the day, just because you're bipolar, doesn't mean you aren't a whackass primadonna. Don't get me wrong, criticism is always tough, especially the more you pour your heart into something and it's compiled with mental health struggles. But Lordy. Dude is happy to lap up all the positivity on Twitter and fucking retweet the 7 bajillion "MAURO IS THE BEST EVARRRRRRR" tweets -- surely he has the resources and support system to deal with some of the negatives. |

Like c'mon, he had his buddy ol' pal/agent/legendary badass, Frank Shamrock, ready to crack skulls on his behalf. I wish I had that kind of support whenever I'm disparaged or criticized.

Say it was done in a far more professional manner and Mauro flipped out (I know this is strictly hypothetical), then where do we stand on the matter? I just think of all the bullying that could have come his way, this seems like the most innocuous and least threatening. Just some talentless schmuck trying to ruffle feathers. I've reacted poorly to criticism where I legit did think about killing myself because I have bouts of depression and panic attacks. I was being unreasonable, and was aware I was being unreasonable. Still, it's how I felt. But nobody other than my inner circle was aware and I kept my shit together for everyone on the outside. I'm not bipolar so I can't put myself in his shoes, but surely if his condition is this bad, this isn't the right environment for him. |

One thing I do wonder is if Mauro skips his meds before calling a show. Part of his charm is him absolutely losing his shit during big moments which could certainly be explained as part of his mania. So I wonder if he either skips or reduces his meds so he could get that high for the show.
I have no information on this and it’s pure speculation. |
