2 Cents: Mauro Ranallo missing shows
Posted: Mar 23rd, '17, 14:56
Now, normally I try to avoid ranting about backstage politics and the light, but this has me absolutely heated.
Okay, so we know that Mauro Ranallo is missing shows, keeping in contact with very few people, and staying off Twitter. Ranallo has been very open about being diagnosed with depression and how this effects his life. I hope Ranallo restores normalcy in his schedule and receives minimal heat for this.
What has me heated is Taz and JBL basically shooting on Mauro for what's happening. JBL basically took the piss out of Mauro for debating him on Bring it to the Table and then not showing back up. JBl is a grade school level bully, and any respect I'd gained for him is now gone. Similarly, Taz has shot on him as well saying he CANNOT miss shows. Stones, glass houses, I'm pretty sure Taz missed some shows for TNA, and when he was there he put in 25 percent effort whereas Mauro's given 100 percent effort anytime he's behind a desk.
Hypocracies aside, this is 2017. We know more about disorders such as depression than we ever have before, and we cannot in good conscious, allow grade school bullies like JBL and old codgers like Taz trivialize disorders such as these. I implore each of you to boycott Taz's podcast if you feel it necessary to support Mauro at all. I don't know how one would "boycott" a guy like JBL but consider that as well. We will have to see how WWE itself handles the situation, but I would be willing to boycott the WWE if they chose to let this effect how they utilize Mauro.
I know "social justice" style rants don't really have a usual place here, but I've been having a garbage week and seeing people react to Mauro's illness like this has been the icing on he cake.
