Haha he’s a failed wrestler. Corey Graves had to quit wrestling due to multiple concussions. Don't be that guy. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Mauro mention before the show that he was having something of an episode with his disorder yesterday and was trying to build himself up that he could get through the show he was looking so forward to? Yeah, Friday and Saturday he was having bad bout of anxiety and depression, and willingly shared it on social media that morning. Really low of Corey, on all days, to come out at Mauro then. |

The fourth rule of punk rock is weird and quasi-hypocritical shittalking of people who haven't done anything to you

I thought Mauro was perfect in the main event. He knows when to properly utilize silence to let the gravity of a major move sink in. I don't think anyone on the mic in the company could have done that better than him.
Mauro/Beth/Nigel are an amazing broadcast team. I think they accentuate each others' strengths perfectly.

Mauro is easily the best announcer in WWE and Corey Graves is actually worse than Seth Rollins at twitter.

I could've gone without the literal "HOLY BLEEP!" call (either swear or use a better self-censor), otherwise he was perfectly fine and excitable for the whole show. |

I love Mauro on commentary
But yeah some y’all say this every show so don’t act appalled. Corey shouldn’t be saying that in general because it is his co worker. That was dumb
Mauro own bout with depression is well known so for Corey to dig is a low blow

Mauro is a great commentator if he just stops forcing the pop culture references.
They don’t come off natural at all.
f*** Corey though

Mauro is an incredible PBP guy, Nigel is Nigel and Beth has improved so much in the last year. For me the only better 3 person commentary team is Kevin Kelly, Chris Charlton and Rocky Romero in NJPW. |

Corey being somewhat of a hypocrite (your mileage may vary here) doesn't invalidate his criticism, and while I very much relate to and empathize with Mauro, he shouldn't be handled with kids gloves because of his problems. The way Graves said this was snarky at worst.

Mauro is hands down the worst commentator ever.  "Allow us to introduce ourselves" I'll take all of them at the same time on every show I watch for the rest of my life if it means I never have to hear Mauro Ranallo make another f***ing sound again. He is the only commentator who has ever made me turn the sound off during the show. I've heard backyard commentators who are better at their jobs than f***ing Mauro. And, while Corey may be a douche, he has a point: When you can literally hear the other commentators get frustrated on EVERY SINGLE SHOW because they can't get a word in around the bloated-sounding f***wad shouting nonsense meme references and self-censored idiocy for every single move of a match, then it's a problem. Mauro might be a great person and I have nothing but the utmost respect for all he does outside of commentating. That said, if I were put in charge of WWE for a day, he would be the first person I fired, and I would giggle with delight while I did it. |

You would laugh at a person with depression and anxiety losing their job? Stay classy. 👍 |

If he truly cared he would have talked to Mauro in person instead of passive aggressively tweeting about it, I hate this catty bullshit so much.

Mauro is an acquired taste. I remember not liking the guy when I first heard him on NJPW, but I warmed up to him tremendously over his run. Sure, he infodumps and namedrops all over the place, but his enthusiasm for what he's calling is second to none. Gimme more people like that on commentary and less people like Corey.
