Personally i really enjoy Mauro on commentary and it's a shame he's no longer with the company. JBL on the other hand is a confirmed racist bully piece of shit who also doubles as a terrible colour commentator and i really really hope he gets pulled from TV sooner than later.

Sadly this won't make a difference. This shows they don't want to deal with it having to kick out the guy and muting those chants on TV. I imagine fans might continue to chant this for a little while but nothing will change. But hey if this grabs and continues to grab attention then WWE will have to do something about JBL. It reminds me of the Bill DeMott situation a while back.

FIRE JBL

JBL is a scumbag by numerous accounts.
Fire the piece of shit and then start to make a change to the decades of bullying that's existed in the industry. Afterall, they are a public traded company as they keep hitting us over the head with every time the fans complain about something. So fucking start behaving like one then.

I'm not a big JBL fan, and while a few of the complaints are legit, it also seems like a lot of guys piling on a situation. Perhaps because they just personally don't like JBL. A lot of the allegations are pretty weak. Things that me and my buddies do to each other for S&G's.
For being big, tough men a lot of these guys sound SAWFT.

Where? To whom? All the other stuff I get, but where was his racism "confirmed"? Must be a shitty racist considering his best friend is Ron Simmons and they rode with Teddy Long for years and he has charities for poor kids in Bermuda and South Africa.

maybe he's talking about when he saluted and goose stepped??? That's the only thing I can think of that he may be alluding to.

So Shibata reportedly almost dies doing strong style headbutts, certain "news" sites are flip flopping on the severity and calling it a work then changing it to legit.
But hey, someone got their feelings hurt and are going to collect more money because of it.... That's more important right?

JBL sadly won't get fired, because he's not the "problem" the problem is that this systemic kind of behaviour is accepted as "the norm" people like JBL who have the attitude that "non wrestlers know nothing" propogates issues, Why does a non wrestler know nothing about wrestling when they've been watching the shit over 40 years?
I have been accused of this many times by some of my friends who are wrestlers. "I can't understand because I'm not a wrestler" bullshit is what I say to that. I may not have teh same perspective nor fully accept things at face value as you do but it doesn't invalidate my thoughts.
I guess I could use the logic that JBL is an idiot because he doesn't know financing, I mean he's a Wrestler!!!! (sarcasm since I know the guy is damn good financially)
My point however is valid I think, and Mauro has a ton of respect outside of wrestling.
And yes SOME "be one of the guys" hazing and joking is gonna happen, but let's not take it too far.
As for the chants of Fire JBL, I don't think it will go away, this is a black eye in the Be a Star campaign and they need to adress it. And TNA is crazy not to have a FIELD day with this and exploit it.

Anyone chanting fire JBL were the same ones chanting his name when it was hijack time before Punk left.
Those same people were also calling for his job after the blue meanie incident. They forgot all about that and the JBL stories just became funny anecdotes on youshoots.
Nobody remembers bill demott, he can be rehired today and nobody is going to freak out about it online. People are stupid, they'll forget as soon as the next thing to bitch about happens.
As soon as Roman Reigns beats down Braun Strowman in a one sided beating, nobody is going to talk about JBL anymore.
Also, Pete Rosenberg and Sam Roberts are treated the same way on camera that Mauro was.....We don't know what happened off camera, and people are joining a lynch mob without having any facts.
Stories are just that.....Stories, they're not factual until verified.

S&G is fine man and I'm all for pranks, but when its starting to cause distress to the point the guy pretty much gave up his job? That went too far... I don't care of what level, as each of us will have a different tolerance level, Maybe Mauro's fuse was smaller then others, point being, there is a time to joke, and a time to work and JBL seems to ignore that part, he takes his heel persona too seriously if you ask me and it leaks into real life. I recall a show where he bragged about beating on the public enemy like it was a big joke... Sure they were a joke and had an ego that needed adressing, but theres no call to basically destroy and posibly injure someone... that's just violence.

Nobody cares anymore it would seem, almost like a certain someone said this here.

no surprise. Everyone expected it to blow over it at some point. Once none of the major media picked it up, it was only a matter of time before people moved on their outrage to something else.

THere was a Fire Bradshaw chant at Backlash on Sunday so i guess everyone hasn't forgotten how much of a piece of shit John Bradshaw Layfield is. This piece of monkey shit has zero redeeming qualities. He doesn't get traditional heel heat, he gets you are a scumbag piece of crap who isn't even any good at your job and offer nothing to the show so get off my fucking tv screen heat. Anyone who sticks up for this piece of garbage is a faggot worse than Ultimate Warrior, worse than Michael Jackson, worse than Hulk Hogan, worse than Brian Blair. Go fuck yourself!

What not to do when you're trying to say that somebody should be fired for bullying and verbal abuse...
