I like Corey Graves on commentary, but him calling out someone for talking over the other commentators? HE has no room to talk...pun not intended.

Mauro does talk a lot but Nigel also has a tendency to ramble and not let anyone talk. There was a period of time where I forgot Percy Watson existed. The third announcer is not really meant to ever speak, they just chime in with nothingisms ever now and then. Which is why it is pointless to have someone else in there. Saxton had got it down well, but 2 is all you ever need.

I like Mauro and think he and Nigel are the best two they have. Graves is decent but if Mauro has a severe condition, Graves should maybe ease up.

I can only understand about half of what they're saying but it's made the events a lot more enjoyable. Renee is so much better on Fox without those two dumb-dumbs. Would never have known how good she is rotting away next to them.

Mauro is one of the best announcers in the biz IMO but if he seriously cant handle criticism on social media then dude seriously needs to stop getting on social media. Its not rocket science. I hate that he has problems but he also has to take some responsibility for them as well. Removing himself from social media is the same as an alcoholic not going to a bar. if you know you have a problem, dont put yourself in a situation to agitate it. Well said 👏🏽

As also Bipolar, I hope Mauro is medicated now and blows like that have less of a sting. I also wonder if Graves would claim to have been "in character" or something. Either way, he's a dick and seems just like a Millennial version of Bradshaw. Get him outta there. Remember when Graves was butthurt because Punk stopped communicating with him? ...Yeah.

I guess Mauro won't be calling NXT this week either. Poor guy, hopefully he pulls through this downward slide he's on at the moment.

Just read where Corey started off his podcast by issuing an apology to anyone who found offense in his tweets and insists no insult or disrespect was meant.

Story is that Corey had made the criticisms "in character". He wanted them to have their own story going into Survivor Series because of the brand warfare. And that he had planned for it to play out with them on commentary together.
Good idea, but he probably should have clued in Mauro first.

Said it before, I'll say it again. He's not the only person with depression or mood swings. They need to replace him if any little comment will set him off and make him call off work. Let's all just not show up to work either bc we're feeling down. Let's not hash things out like adults.

When a guy goes into business for himself by publicly targeting someone who has already been a victim of the blatant bullying alpha-male atmosphere fostered backstage, who also has to deal with his own personal issues on top of the stress of WWE's daily grind, a little heads-up may have been helpful, yeah.

Apparently, Graves has backstage heat for it - but others have said the same thing about Mauro, previously. Apparently, Graves now has so much heat - and not just for this, he's on the verge of "getting ed up" by somebody. Also, the less Beth talks, the better, IYAM - don't know why she's even there.

He seems like he could piss a lot of people off on a daily basis. Beth -- I honestly don't know. I agree she's not very good on commentary, but, I thought the same thing about Renee for a long time. Then I listened to Renee on Fox, and it seems the problem was less Renee and more the morons telling her what to say. Renee is fantastic on Fox. Beth might actually be bad, or she might be victim to the same problem, I have no idea.

We all interpret things differently, but I just assumed this was all in character. I rarely see Corey on social media (in regards to wrestling) out of character anyway. That said, maybe Mauro was aware, but he was still battling an episode going into the weekend and that was that?

I do remember Mauro tweeting that he hoped his anxiety/depression didn't ruin his excitement that night

Yeah I remember that tweet too. It really does make the most sense that Corey was trying to do a Kayfabe tweet, and Mauro in an already vulnerable state just wasn't in a position to play that game/handle it. Corey/Mauro could have gone back and forth at survivor series with some banter as a result of it. Sounds like a very unfortunate situation. Hope Mauro can bounce back soon.
