>There was an issue early in Mauro's Smackdown arrival. Lawler, used to calling Jim Ross “J.R.,” started calling Ranallo “M.R.,” likely an inside rib since decades earlier, when Lawler and McMahon were growing up it was short for “mental retard.” Of course few would know that since the term went away probably by the 70s. But after a few weeks, it was dropped.

>Ranallo, being different, made him the butt of jokes. He was tabbed as weird and the production room was filled with a lot of people who were emotionally still in high school. There would be the jibes about appearance and such, and it was far more than just Layfield.

>McMahon was said to be frustrated at Ranallo for his announcing style and adding Tom Phillips to the Smackdown announce team as the fourth member was the first public sign of it.

>The “Bring It To The Table,” episode on the WWE Network that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It was noted to us that the subject matter of burying Ranallo was part of that episode and not Layfield going off on his own, and discussed ahead of time as to what should and shouldn’t be said.

>There was also an incident involving another non-wrestler who was well known to have a close family member dying, and had missed two weeks due to a minor operation. Layfield went off on missing the shows, harassing the person and saying how he didn’t miss any shows after hernia surgery. The person noted that this wasn’t the week to do this, and he didn’t stop until the person was in tears.

If you still defend JBL and WWE's corporate bullying you are literal scum.

Mauro was by far the most entertaining, engaging announcer in the company the last two years so yeah I guess it makes sense that Vince hated his announcing style. i guess he didn't say PLANTED enough.

So a person had a family member die and needed surgery in the same space of time and JBL berated them until they were in tears, is that about right?

That's legitimately fucked up.

Everyone knows how fucked in the head the heads in WWE are. Ranallo should have know this would have happened. Plus if they find out you have some sort of mental problems then its open season for you.
>>
>>2564137
That's what Meltzer was basically saying. He knew Mauro and knew it was his dream to work for WWE, but he also knew the company and knew that it was a trainwreck waiting to happen.

The part that really fucks me off is it was the dude's dream to work for WWE and he was just a couple weeks away from calling Wrestlemania.

He intentionally targets people that are either
A) Too low on the totem pole to fight back
B) Non-wrestlers (thus automatically too low on the totem pole to fight back)

He's the biggest kind of coward imaginable.

So JBL did nothing wrong?

In all honesty though, I get that he has depression and bipolar disorder, but c'mon. I know tons of people who have that and they still put up with being ridiculed. I'm sure JBL isn't serious about most of the shit he says.

Is this supposed to be Justin Roberts or someone else?
>>
Lol people can bitch all they want. What, do they think he's going to get fired like Bill O'Reilly? Here's a couple of spoonfuls of reality for you kids:

1)No one is suing JBL or WWE because of JBL.
2)Whiny former employees complaining about JBL is not going to get him in any trouble with WWE whatsoever.
3)The only thing that might get JBL taken off the air is if advertisers start pulling out of SmA+ckdownLIVE and state that JBL is the cause. That's what got O'Reilly fired.

All of you crybabies need to find something else to complain about.

He's entertaining but he's certainly not engaging, nor is he very good, he's just an excellent heel announcer. Mauro is fucking world class, best since JR.

Holy shit.

This absolutely confirms to me that Michael Cole's replacement will be no better than Cole is, as long as Vince (and maybe Dunn) is around.

Everyone was so sure that Mauro had next once Cole retired....clearly that wasn't gonna happen if Mauro never got with the program and changed his announcing style to the bland, corporate shit that Cole has to use. Never mind the fact that hes almost universally seen as being better than Cole (not meant to be a knock on Cole since 1. he's much better without old men yelling in his headset and 2. he was the one that suggested that Mauro be hired)

As long as Vince is alive and in control....WWE commentary is dead. JR won't be here forever to give us occasional reminders of what we used to have in our ears.

At this rate, Tom Phillips will be the new voice of WWE since everyone says he's similar to Cole.

He is.
>>
>>2564528
Tom is very good. Mauro was new and exciting to me (and many others) for a minute, and was good with DB on the Cruiserweight Classic commentary. However, Mauro's style quickly got old because he yelled constantly and treated every match like it was Wrestlemania. Also, his pop culture references were shit.
>>
>>2564537
How old are you?
>>
Yeah but.. Can Mauro tell people how to install the wwe app?
>>
>>2564497
Mauro is the best PBP guy, Graves is the best color guy. Fair?
>>
>>2564528
Yeah, anybody who thinks it's Cole's fault that his commentary is so bad is delusional. It's all Vince and Dunn.

The degree to which they go to deliberately sabotage their own product is truly astounding.
>>
I've heard MR, I thought it was common.
>>
>>2564528

Man Tom Phillips, JBL, Graves, Otunga, Saxton are all garbage......

Need people with an "announcers" voice something different JR, King, Heyman, Mauro all have that voice.

The others sound like coporate shills,
>>
>>2564528
Paul Heyman came SO close to molding Cole into a decent play-by-play man, when he was teaching him (and Tazz) what to say in Smackdown post-production
Go listen to Michael Cole's commentary from damn near any match between 2002 to 2004, and compare it to any match commentary he did from 2008 onwards. The difference is like night and fucking day
>>
>>2564665
Cole is a decent play by play guy when Vince lets him off his leash. Just watch the UK tournament, sure he's never going to be JR tier but he's good
>>
>>2564687
Decent? He can't even name half the moves
>>
>>2564095

>>2564688

Which is why the word 'decent' is used to describe him as opposed to 'above-average' or 'excellent'

>Lawler, used to calling Jim Ross “J.R.,” started calling Ranallo “M.R.,” likely an inside rib since decades earlier, when Lawler and McMahon were growing up it was short for “mental retard.”

>>2564542
>treated every match like it was Wrestlemania
I think that's part of what made him great.

>Also, his pop culture references were shit.
I'll give you that. I'm guessing he was pressured to do so. Gotta make 'E seem relevant and with it!
>>
>>2564542
>>2564733
