I’m going to say this as a general reference; For the sake of this discussion, I don’t care about what you think of Mauro. I don’t care if you think he’s great or he sucks, if you noticed he spoke over everyone at Takeover or you didn’t. Hell, I’m going to remove Mario’s mental health history from this for a second. If you think criticizing someone you work with in public on a platform seen by millions of followers is acceptable...I don’t know what to tell you except, in my opinion, you’re wrong. If you did that in any other job, you’d be called aside by your bosses AT LEAST. This is one of the reasons why I say WWE needs a social media policy. Putting that mental health history back in, with everything Mauro’s been open with over the years...Jesus, Graves. So like. Just going by what you’re saying. Not counting the mental health and stuff. Would you or anyone else for that matter feel the same if this was a dig at Lawlers commentary. Or coles commentary? Because from what I’ve seen ripping on those guys is an approved gimmick. I mean...yeah. If Corey said he thought Cole was shit, I’d wonder how the f*** he’d be next to him on Smackdown the next week. If it’s on TV, I’m going to presume it’s all good natured ribbing and they’re aware of it. I don’t know why that’s hard to understand. Don’t bash your co-workers online. It’s f***ing not hard.

I don’t care if it was Corey not, none of us have the right to tell Mauro what causes his mood swings, how to handle them, and how their employers handle them. To try and say it’s just a bout of depression or something like that is why we have to have bullshit debate over Mauro taking some sick days like this.
If WWE is willing to support him great, if not that is their business but to boil down mental illness as I’m seeing it done is well, depressing.

Seriously, fire Graves. Fire him publicly so anyone else who thinks they can do what Graves did knows they'll be fired too. Also show a live stream of Graves reaction to being fired. No. That is too far. Corey had valid criticisms. But what wwe needs to do is take care of their commentators. You need to tell them to not tear each other apart. But ribbing is too much a part of the culture. That while corey might have been dickish. It really was not extreme. But wwe needs to tell guys to chill it with these takes on twitter. Because byron and cole always get this shit

I wish someone would tweet a picture of a glass house and ask Corey Graves how it feels to live in one.

Does he NEED to be fired no. but he should be reprimanded and told to cut the shit because it's unprofessional as all hell.

It was unnecessary, this is a co-worker, and it only happens because Vince and Co have always gotten off on the boys (and now girls) kneecapping the shit out of each. Corey is an extra, special sycophant, because unlike so many others on the roster who could get work elsewhere, Corey Graves is a WWE guy; nobody is busting down your door to get Dollar Store CM Punk on their team.

If people are tired of me saying that WWE needs a social media policy then guess what? I’m f***ing tired of saying that WWE needs a social media policy.
Because guess what happens? You get an environment where you basically make it fine for this stuff to occur because nothing will happen.
This is certainly one of the more serious cases of this but do you know how many of these kinds of threads about these stories that have happened these past couple of years alone? One too many.

People on the "You only take issue with this because you don't like Corey" garbage are on the same sort of wavelength everyone's sick of with the Cornette stans because it's getting the cart before the horse. People don't like Corey because he does shit like this and whenever you make a post exposing that your own sense of morality is dictated by tribalism and (opinion of X wrestler/company/thing) and you therefore project that same expectation onto others, you're only making yourself look bad.

I will say this as someone who is dating someone with anxiety and depression, when someone who deals with mental illness has an episode things are taken personally even if not meant to be. There's a need for positive reinforcement and letting that person know you are there for them. So if Mauro was really struggling over the weekend and Graves's tweet is the reason he isn't working tonight, I believe it. Whether you like Mauro or not I hope he is okay Thanks. This is something that should be brought up more. Depression makes you think awful stuff and Mauro was already open about having a bad episode over the weekend and absolutely did not see someone he works with crapping on his job. Dude probably already has complete strangers on social media saying the same thing but it's different when it's someone who "matters" in terms of judgement. I could go on about personal crap but I won't, too tired from a meh ppv. Just know that I know from experience how screwed up clinical depression can be and the effects on people's lives.

So people going on social media to request their releases and raise their concerns is considered "unprofessional", but one of your commentators making passive-aggressive comments about a coworker on social media is okay.
Seriously, WWE has to set some standards for these situations.

Becky lynch online is pretty unbearable because of the digs. On tv it is cool. Online it just perpetuates this online bullying bs. f***ing clownshows

The word "unlikable" is thrown around a lot when it comes to some wrestlers, but Corey Graves really just might be the most unlikable person in the company not named Vince. I usually don't mind the social media trash talk and I even disagree most of the time when people call it bullying because I'm pretty sure it's mostly good natured and the wrestlers are in on it, but Graves has already tweeted classist things at fans before and other stupid shit. I genuinely think he's just an asshole.
As for Mauro, well, we're all different so I have no idea what's going on with him right now even as somebody who also has a mood disorder. Wishing him well either way.
