Eh I don’t want to be in the toughen up crowd but I do think there’s a need to find ways to cope with the feelings. At the end of the day Mauro has leverage in that they need him more than he needs them. So, I guess he can take all the time he needs.

If anyone criticises me for those posts I'm going to kill myself.

Correct me if I am wrong, wasn’t Mauro already in a bad space prior to the TakeOver special?

In fairness to Mauro, he may have not shown up to work or whatever, but he is exemplary at his job. I mean I’m not the hugest fan but the target market loves him and he gives everything he’s got. It’s not like we are dealing with a crap, underperforming employee. Just a highly strung, talented individual. Oftentimes, the 2 go hand in hand.

Does anyone here not have a history of taking medication to improve their mental health?
I think a shitload of us do or have previously. So it does suck hearing that someone is milking it for all its worth when they clearly shouldn't be working there at all considering how many of us get up in the morning and turn up at real jobs where real people say terrible things without thinking. |

The take way im having from this thread in Ronallos mental well being is not only the responsibility of Graves but everyone who interacts with him ever.

Just to be open and honest, I am not on board with babying grown adults unless they are in desperate need of help.
A man that can't handle some fairly light criticism should not be in the public eye and the world does not owe him a living. I'm 33 years old and in ten years I will be considered a dinosaur because of crap like this. |

I see the merit in your argument. Surely by his age, he should’ve learned some decent coping skills.

The end of that thought should be "... if he means to continue as a TV personality and public figure."
I think the "actually I'm not feeling too great either..." generation is in effect. Stoicism is dead. |

Plus if I was Cory Graves I'd be off to my doctor to get a prescription to cover my ass ASAP.
Everyone in WWE should. It's worth some time off. |

I don’t think workplace bullying is acceptable. Especially how Vince McMahon does it. But this was more just someone being a wang than actual bullying.

Remember Seanny, they WANT Mauro working for them. Remember who has the actual power in this dynamic. Mauro can go anywhere he wants but they choose to pay him boatloads.

Mauro Ranallo isn't a performer of the caliber or draw that HBK and Hogan were and he arguably hasn't done nearly as much for WWE in his best year as either of them did in their worst. HBK being a former drug addict definitely has had legitimate mental health issues, so careful how you go if you want to start in on him. Implying that I'm lacking empathy and human decency is a bit shit bud, I tend to use situations like these to make a point. If you step back you may be able to see the wood for the trees. |

See this is where it falls down for me.
You basically insulted me there after I said I had previously struggled with my own issues. So now do you give me a big apology or what? Do I get a few weeks off? ... Or because I'm not on TV do I just go suck an egg? See? It's unsustainable. The world doesn't run on "I don't feel up to it". |

Post Wrestling's John Pollock had a very good article about this whole incident and his personal experience working with Mauro in the past.

Dear Corey Graves,
Your mild, unnamed criticism of a colleague has caused the fake world that governs the real world to lose its shit. We now require you to cease existing. Signed, Fags |

It's funny watching all the people sticking up for Mauro simultaneously attacking Graves. The crap Graves is getting hurled at him is leagues beyond ANYTHING Mauro got. It's hilariously hypocritical.

It's almost like people are trying to signal something. Like maybe how virtuous they are. I dunno.
I just know that chances are if any of us here called out for weeks at a time because someone made us cry on twitter that we'd be unemployed, homeless and starving. |

The problem here is that we are all acknowledging that Mauro is sick. At least for the most part. It’s just this is at least a grey area.

There are also for sure more people than Mauro in the wrestling industry, ESPECIALLY, that have severe mental health problems. Now you can argue he is giving them a voice or you can say he does them a disservice because they work through the anguish.
It really depends on how much he is suffering. Though his movie makes it pretty clear it’s on another level. In case y’all can’t tell I am having a hard time deciding where I sit on this issue. |
