WWE releases Mauro Ranallo
http://www.tpww.net/2017/04/mauro-ra...gone-from-wwe/


Mauro Ranallo is officially gone from WWE, per Newsweek. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported earlier this week both sides were in talks but that the agreement would like come with terms where he could not badmouth JBL or WWE, and it looks like Meltzer was correct.


Quote:

http://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-ma...rt-ways-588181

“WWE and I have mutually agreed to part ways. It has nothing to do with JBL,” Ranallo told Newsweek by email. A WWE spokesperson confirmed Ranallo’s exit and said he will remain under contract through August 12.


In a statement to Newsweek, Layfield said he was just playing up his character as a bad guy. “Admittedly, I took part in locker room pranks that existed within the industry years ago. WWE addressed my behavior and I responded accordingly, yet my past is being brought up because of recent unfounded rumors. I apologize if anything I said playing ‘the bad guy’ on a TV show was misconstrued.”


Additionally a WWE spokesperson said: “As part of our commitment to creating an inclusive environment, in April 2011, WWE launched our anti-bullying campaign, Be a STAR, which encourages young people to treat each other with tolerance and respect".

This is a shame, really liked his commentary. Sounded very genuine and sincere and as much as Vince or WWE or whoever may hate him breaking out Japanese references or old-school or Mexican or whatever references, I felt it gave the WWE programming a more legit "feel".

Too bad..... while I do think he was overrated here, and definitely should not have been "lead commentator" on a show, he did add something, especially after he started toning himself down at least somewhat.

Also sucks to leave under the circumstances of being "bullied" and having "mental health issues"

So money was more important than taking a stand against the bully culture in the WWE.

What a little bitch. Zero respect.

I liked Mauro but he really didnt fit WWE's style. Wish he would have at least got to call a Wrestlemania match but that's his fault. Lost some respect for him though as well due to this "bullying" thing.

Bit of a shame since WWE no longer has a reason or motivation to change the backstage problems involving JBL and his type remaining there.

Then again whole company probably would have needed to be rehauled considering how deep the bullying stuff supposedly went.

As much as i dislike bradshaw and vince nobody will know what happened. They likely compensated him handsomely andd if there was misconduct one can hope they will review how they go about treating employees.

I think JBL got singled out for what was a dislike for Ranallo within management and other staff. JBL's reputation has preceded him here but i don't think he has done anything heinous on this occasion.

He came from a culture of hazing and hard man rasslers but seems to have left that in the past. I think Mauro has rubbed certain people the wrong way and then hasn't been able to handle the jibes and probably childish criticism that came along with that.

It's sad, and noone should have to suffer in the workplace, but clashes/rivalries/gossip happens in every workplace all over the world. It sucks, but it happens and i don't think singling out JBL is the right thing to do.

Hopefully the whole thing makes WWE more aware that this sort of thing is better left in the past.

WWE paid him not to talk about how bad things were, yet JBL is apparently not at fault. Weird how they would just throw money down the drain.



Anyway, it's a shame. Smackdown now has the 3 worst announcers and it really hurts the show.

Nothing will ever get revealed about what happened. Don Callous explained it in a way that I liked. JBL LIKES being the guy to dole out the punishment because he is an unmitigated dickhead (by MOST accounts, though he does have plenty of friends... who'll kind of hint at the same thing). But he is prodded to do it by Vince. He wears those colours proudly and if he has to eat shit for it, even if it's something minor then who gives a fuck. Live by the sword die by the sword.

To me it sounds more like Mauro was not treated well by Vince because Vince is a fuckhead to all of his commentators and eventually wants them all to be Michael Cole (or just himself when he was a commentator). By the sounds of it, Vince would be really hard to work for as a commentator and could easily push someone over the edge.

If all the rumours are true, the bigger problem is the toxic culture (this doesn't just have to do with Mauro, but others who've spoken out).

So you think a publicly traded company would try to save JBL? Why? Who is JBL to the company? Makes no sense to protect him if he's done anything wrong.

Mauro said in his own words, it had nothing to do with JBL. Maybe JBLs negative comments helped trigger whatever mental illness he's dealing with, but his comments were nothing outrageous. If there was any actual bullying or whatever the fake news wrestling reporters are claiming, then Mauro could have exposed it. Instead he said very clearly, it had nothing to do with JBL.

If the claim is Mauro took cash from WWE to shut up, well A) that's a very serious allegation to make against a publicly traded company, and the fake news reporters making such an accusation should be forced to release their evidence or face lawsuits for damaging WWEs brand image. And B) Mauro would then be a spineless, gutless cockroach for lining his pockets and in doing so allow future employees to be exposed to JBLs alleged wrongdoings.

The fact is, this is another example of the kind of ambulance chasing, bottom of the barrel reporting that this industry is plagued with. Sad.

Seen it happen throughout my whole life. There's a difference between ball busting, that all red blooded American men do, and actual bullying or harassment. JBL didn't or hasn't harassed anyone.

But he is prodded to do it by Vince. He wears those colours proudly and if he has to eat shit for it, even if it's something minor then who gives a fuck. Live by the sword die by the sword.

To me it sounds more like Mauro was not treated well by Vince because Vince is a fuckhead to all of his commentators and eventually wants them all to be Michael Cole (or just himself when he was a commentator). By the sounds of it, Vince would be really hard to work for as a commentator and could easily push someone over the edge.

If all the rumours are true, the bigger problem is the toxic culture (this doesn't just have to do with Mauro, but others who've spoken out).
How much time have you spent with Vince? You're making a lot of sweeping allegations there bud. Funny how the people who rip Vince are all people who have an axe to grind. Everyone else thinks he's a Father like, beloved figure. Knowing what I know, I would say Vince is a man's man, and those who deserve his respect, get it.

If the claim is Mauro took cash from WWE to shut up, well A) that's a very serious allegation to make against a publicly traded company, and the fake news reporters making such an accusation should be forced to release their evidence or face lawsuits for damaging WWEs brand image. And B) Mauro would then be a spineless, gutless cockroach for lining his pockets and in doing so allow future employees to be exposed to JBLs alleged wrongdoings.
He's also under a non-disparagement agreement so even if he wanted to, he's not going to risk getting sued for a lot more than whatever the WWE is paying him. Think with Del Rio, his agreement was worth around a million to a few million at most.

If WWE didn't have anything to worry about these allegations, they never would have offered hush money and just let him ride out the rest of his contract like they are doing with Paige. Would have probably even sued him like they are doing with Punk because allegations like these can seriously damage the rep of a company.

Anyway, it's a shame. Smackdown now has the 3 worst announcers and it really hurts the show.
I know, right?! JBL's such an innocent little angel in all this, yet Mauro couldn't speak out against him and conveniently says it had nothing to do with JBL. I call bullshit.

Agreements like that are standard in many industries. Doesn't mean it's "hush money". In fact a baseless allegation like that could be grounds for a lawsuit. Fortunately youre a nobody, so you're safe.

I guess you are closer to the matter than the person who the alleged harassment was against is? Because that guy said in public it had nothing to do with JBL.

People give the media quotes they want all the time for all different reasons. This time, I'm sure it was out of a fear of reprisal.

I greatly respect the man, yes. I don't know if it's funny though. I do know that people who know him closely only speak of him in a glowing manner. The people who are working an angle against him talk junk.

Yeah but based on what evidence?

What we KNOW about the situation is Mauro won an internet poll. We know JBL called him out publicly for marking out for a meaningless award. We know Mauro has issues with mental illness. We know Mauro wasn't showing up for work. We know Mauro was ultimately released. We know there were rumors that his absence had something to do with JBL harassing or bullying him. We know Mauro came out publicly with a quote saying it had nothing to do with JBL.

I just love that you clearly take it very personally and you HAVE to defend him. Not even saying you do a bad job defending him. It's wonderful. You're a gem.

I mean I still think he's a twat. I also think he's a machine of a man, and I respect him, but I believe him to be a giant asshole of a man as well.
