Looks to focus on his entire career, with heavy focus on his bipolar disorder

Mauro is someone I legit admire because I'm BiPolar as well.
I'll definitely be watching this.

You know, watching that small clip of you Mauro....why do I have a feeling wrestling missed out on a hell of a manager?

I'd love to watch this.
Mauro is the man. Best commentator I've heard since JR

Mauro Ranallo might be someone I would have banned for being too lame for the college anime club I was president of but good on him for talking out about his struggles with bipolar and trying to use his platform for something.`

I love Mauro. I had no idea he was involved with wrestling prior to commentary. Looks cool.

Seems interesting
I've always seen Mauro on my TV for years now thanks to boxing and MMA originally so might give this a watch

My opinions on his more recent body of work aside, I'm intrigued by the doc. Curious to see if/how they handle the getting fired from PRIDE, contemplating suicide, getting fired from the score and the fight network and then landing the full-time showtime gig which gave him the wakeup call to stop smoking so much weed and actually get properly medicated.

Good for Mauro for opening up about his bipolar, as mental health issues need to continue to be destigmatized. He’s still a shit announcer though.

Eh, I have my opinions about the guy, which I don't really share around here, but good on him for at least giving bipolar awareness a platform, I guess.

The preview puts the focus on his symptoms hardcore. Put me down on the watch list!

May is mental health awareness month, so this timing is perfect.
Especially with how a certain rapper seems to be going out of his way to further stigmatize and demonize bi-polar in particular, a documentary like this is much needed right now.

After watching the Mauro doc, I can say that considering his disorder, it isn't fair to blame JBL for the whole situation last year. It more than likely factored, but it clearly wasn't the key factor.
Also, it's a damn good doc. Even if you find the dude's work cheesy, you do come out with a lot more respect considering how f***ed his disorder is.
