All sorts of outlets are reporting he is supposed to be returning this week to NXT after his brief haiatus.

I’m not going to pretend I understand what goes on with his mental health situation or I’ve been there, but I wonder how he reacts to hardcore internet trolls that really throw daggers. I hope he stays off Twitter permenantly no need to give yourself that outlet of toxicity; I have deactivated all social media for that reason a few years back and it was one of the best things I have done for myself.

As much as I agree with you that he probably shouldn't be on Social Media at all just because of this reason, if he's strong enough to do it, I'd say let him. He's also a huge mental health figure who is probably a role-model to a lot of people. Him having social media is probably very good for these people.

But there's a difference between a mindless mob of people trying to be mean / rude; and a co-worker taking shots at you over social media. It's much easier to ignore / report / whatever you want to do to the mindless mob. But it's much harder to ignore a co-worker on a bigger show than you working your same position.

Graves was an asshole and everyone knows it. Regardless of your feelings of Ranallo, your co-worker shouldn't give fuel to the fire by obviously calling him out over twitter.

Especially when it's Pot Calling the Kettle Black, in this situation. Corey Graves literally talks over everyone and he's incredibly annoying.

Corey Graves is a microcosm of every single successful asshole you've ever known, in and out of kayfabe. The only way to stop him is to stop paying him for spouting his garbage

Good good, hope he is doing okay. Mental health ain’t anything to fuck with. I deal with some depression myself, but my problems don’t seem to be as bad as his, and I sometimes let small shit get to me. So when it’s a lot of people I’m sure it ain’t fun at all.

But we don’t really know....one post could be triggering him or breaking him down and graves may have been the catelyst, we don’t know Bc he went completely dark.

I know even if I was an influencer and role model like him, if it was at the cost my well being, would be a hard pass. I like my sleep at night.

I don't really know why Corey Graves calling him out would cause him to get so fucked up but I ain't a mental health expert either. I just hope he's alright and that he continues to do what he does. I personally love his commentary.

They should promote Mauro to be the 3rd man on SD team so he has to deal with Graves every week.

This shit happened a few years ago when JBL called him out. If you can't take people talking shit about you then maybe having a job as public as this one isn't a great idea.

Mauro should just be sent home so he can go into a mental health clinic. If he isn't taking his meds, that's all on him.

Cory Graves said nothing wrong, he just offered constructive criticism.....like "hey, let your co-workers talk too".

People like to just use situations like this to pile on someone because "they bullied" someone.....naw fuck that.....online Lynch mob are the biggest band of bullies around.

It was direct constructive criticism exactly,I’d have taken it as a challenge to be a better team player tbh.

Graves seems to think he’s fucking perfect. He knows he is dealing with a co-worker who has mental issues and he chooses to make dickheaded comments. It might seem like lightweight stuff to us, but, to someone with mental issues, it’s far worse, and Graves knows it. He cuts people off enough himself, this was a stupid thing for him to say.

Graves if he had something to say couldve critique Mauro privately without taking veiled shots on Twitter

Plus Corey is not one to talk considering he's trying to get himself over every week on commentary

Or Mauro could've just handled it like an adult and not allegedly go off the rails.....he's an adult, he shouldn't be treated with kid gloves.

If he has to, then maybe he shouldn't be working in a field that is solely about reactions to your work.

It's not like he wasn't treated worse by MMA fighters.....and the guy started out in fucking Calgary of all places......under Bruce Hart, that is a million times worse than someone suggesting maybe let your Co workers talk......

Also, he wasn't in the building. He was watching in his hotel room and making observations like we all did.

I think they're both at fault. Mauro needs to man up and Corey doesn't need to call someone out on Twitter. I get were in the age of social media but if you have a problem tell the person in private. I almost feel like Graves only did it to draw attention to himself.
