Lmao just realized I totally missed Graves said ROH champion in his tweet. For the record, I didn't think Ranallo has been ROH champion :sweatdrop:

Unless I'm missing :thejoke: the ROH Champion is in reference to Nigel McGuinness (the greatest ROH Champion of all time).

Yeah I'm aware, I just managed to misread the tweet and thought it said "ROH commentator" or something.

Basically, please disregard all my posts today they are dumb!!!

Like him or not, Mauro is the best wwe commentator working currently. The company can’t stop loving with him when he doesn’t need wwe.

It's also not his fault the other two can't be professional and ask him to ease off so they can talk if they want to.

Mauro is an exemplary combat sports commentator, he is a good wrestling commentator and can force poo poo at times. Holy Bleep needs to go.

Corey Graves cant carry Heenans jock and has no standing to say anyone talks over their coworkers considering he screamed over Renee for months.

As someone with depression and anxiety and horrible self esteem issues a comment like that from a coworker would put me in a hole that would take me days to climb out of. My heart sank when I read the tweet because I knew it was going to set Mauro off. Hes too good for the company.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if this is the reason there’s bitterness from Corey Graves et al. - if WWE decides to cut Corey that’s pretty much it for his career in sports commentary. But Mauro doesn’t need WWE, it’s something he chooses to do.

Mauro is the best possible announcer for an indieriffic product because he sells the “ridiculous spectacle” angle rather than the “struggle on ye determined sportsmen… and may the best among us prove their mettle” bullshit

I really do hope he can get a spot in AEW or something (I know he’s done some spots for Impact so a steady gig there would be fine too, but I watch Dynamite more so I selfishly want the Sweet Man on my TV every week). Just let him keep doing this gimmick on a larger scale; much like Orange Cassidy before him, I can’t imagine it would take any tweaking to get his character over.

to paraphrase scott steiner, even as heenan lays six feet under, he's still stylin and profilin and there's one thing corey couldn't steal and that was his class. so corey graves, remember this, you're the biggest rear end-kissing, back-stabbing, butt-sucking bastard in this business and you belong where you're at in wwe because wwe sucks and so do you

Mauro sucks in WWE but that's not really his fault, everyone sucks in WWE. He's still the best commentator they have and the only one with real world relevancy. Corey is so wildly outclassed by Mauro.

they should only hire jervis if they're willing to license mr brightside for his theme

i'm not as down on aew's themes as some people but they definitely need more singalongs

I'm 100% in agreement here, he'd need that poo poo. I don't really see him as a full-time hire as he doesn't have the same allure to do "normal" poo poo if need be on a regular basis but if he was brought in for a one-time PPV and they could get the music licensed then absolutely put him in like, a 6-man tag.

This is probably not a fight Graves wants to pick. Especially since Meltzer isn't the only person reporting the Mauro stuff. Pollock also heard the same story.

Right but now the standard WWE response to Meltzer reporting literally anything is to have their employees go on Twitter and say “yeah whatever, DAVE. Call me when you’ve gone toe to toe in the ring!”

I think the problem (or at least my problem) with Mauro is that he just loving yells EVERYTHING constantly. It feels like there's barely a moment when he's just talking like a normal human, and instead everything is just turned all the way up at all times. It makes matches exhausting to listen to.
