It's well known that he has bipolar disorder, and this turned out to be the case of why he's been off TV the entire time. Mauro won the Wrestling Observer "announcer of the year" award for some reason, and he tweeted/re-tweeted stuff about him winning it. In backwards WWE culture, this is a no-no. The only time you acknowledge awards is if they come from your company and you are promoting them. This is stupid. JBL said **** about him of an episode of "Bring it to the Table." Fast forward a week or so, Mauro still missing. One of his good friends, Bas Rutten, started **** up on twitter by talking about how this relates to JBL. Calls him an *******, says he'd love for JBL to attack him. Justin Roberts' book came out, has a story about somebody stealing his passport. JBL says he didn't steal it, and calls Roberts an idiot. John Morrison gives an interview to deadspin saying JBL told him and Mercury to steal it, but they didn't. Assumptions are that JBL got someone else to steal it. Meltzer writes a bit about this, it blows up. He gets 15-20 more stories coming in about people that used to work with JBL (not just the typical Blue Meanie stuff everyone knew.) Basically he's a real-life ******* blowhard that sucks at his job and is quite possibly the worst commentary partner. Meltzer says it's not just a JBL thing, he's gonna be used as the scapegoat but it's corporate culture in WWE that needs to change. The fact that this can happen at any company, let alone a big public one like WWE is bull****. Newest story is that JBL was knowingly harassing someone who's father had cancer knowing the reaction it would get. My guess is more stories like this will slowly trickle out until something happens (without getting too specific, because that just allows potential retribution.) TL;DR: WWE sucks as a corporation in terms of being a healthy work environment, stuck in carny mentality. JBL is a large part of this (either on his own or being directed to by higher ups that just overlook it.) He will most likely be a fall guy if anything is to happen, but large changes need to happen.

Excellent summary.

I agree completely with the last paragraph. For as forward-thinking as WWE claims to be, they really are stuck in the territory days in terms of how they actually operate.

Sad that a guy like Mauro had a dream of working for WWE, he realized that dream, and now literally been forced to walk away from his dream job because other employees at WWE refuse to act like adults. It's a terrible situation.

They only brought in JBL because Dolph Ziggler killed Jerry Lawler. Just get rid of him already.
