Mauro Ranallo officially parts ways from WWE

[Apex]

Not really - he'll probably be picked up by AXS to call NJPW again and he's still doing fight commentary.

I hope he starts commentating NJPW live instead of the AXS show.

This whole mental health bipolar woe is me bullshyt started being a point of sympathy recently...

The only thing bullshyt is believing the Celtics are close to a championship Takr this ignorant shytposting to another thread. Compassion is free

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

GOATo Ranallo leaving his own terms like a true boss

 

[Hey_zeus]

I knew this wouldn't last long. Eventually they'd try to turn him into Cole.

“M.R.” was used as an offensive slur that stood for “mental retard” during the period that Vince McMahon and Lawler were growing up."



I have never heard this before.

I guess this means he'll be going back to Showtime boxing full time. I fukked with his Pride commentating with Bas Rutten but his commentary style is better suited for pro wrestling and he has no business calling high level boxing fights.

Should've made the call to Joey Styles and gotten his problem with JBL straightened out the old fashioned way.

I saw this earlier about the situation

"Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com provided some more information on Mauro Ranallo’s falling out with WWE. It appears that the first issue with Mauro Ranallo was back when Ranallo did commentary with Jerry Lawler. Lawler had started calling Ranallo “M.R.” in the same fashion that Lawler would call Jim Ross “J.R.” However, Meltzer noted that it was likely an inside rib since the term “M.R.” was used as an offensive slur that stood for “mental retard” during the period that Vince McMahon and Lawler were growing up."

Get this fukking geek out of here. If he caught feelins from this he cant be working.

This is who yall are defending

Clearly he's worked long enough and well enough to broadcast the biggest sporting event of this century. How come Bas Rutten & Pat Militech don't consider him a 'fukking geek' but John layfield and Ayo BEZ do?

He's great as a boxing commentator. He will still call New Japan.

Next time any of you expect WWE to do something about an obvious problem, stop expecting it.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Ew, if I was caping for this Ranallo cat i'd be feeling real DUMB right about now. Some of ya'll rode harder for him than he did for himself


At the end of the day he could have been a big advocate for mental health and bullying and all that, but he tucked his tail and took the money and ran.

 

[Da King]

He took the cheque. Show's over. fukking fraud.

Facts

All the mental illness bullshyt for the $$

WWE for sticking to their guns and not firing JBL

 

[YvrzTrvly]

At the end of the day he made his own decision. We don't know how comfortable he even is with the whole situation (barely I imagine) or what the status of his mental health is. Nobody is required to be an advocate for his/her troubles if they don't want to, so all you cats judging him can miss me with that.

Well to be fair you probably didn't grow up in the mid 40s and 50s
