I have no idea who Justin Roberts is.

Cool King 04-07-2017 06:16 PM

He's the guy who Daniel Bryan choked with his own tie.

According to the Observer, JBL's bullying antics is a lot worse than previously believed. 15 people contacted the Observer after this week's newsletter to reveal their own stories about the terrible stuff JBL did backstage.

14 didn't want their stories to be made public for future reports since they are still working in the WWE and/or don't want to burn the bridge for a possible future return.

At least 5 in the past have gone public with tales of JBL's bullying. Also Blue Meanine in the past stated the reason JBL attacked him for real at ECW One Night Stand 2005 was because he went public with his own stories of JBL bullying him after he left the WWE.

It's way worse and well known that I had imagined.

Only one of them knew Mauro, only their own experiences.

Edit: To be clear, by "15 different Justin Roberts" he means others in the company who have been bullied by JBL.

Edit 2: Worth reviewing....

Mark Henry shoots on JBL bullying him

Matt Hardy shoots on JBL bullying other wrestlers

Rene Dupree shoots on JBL being a backstage bully

I got 55 texts from people who were bullied by Justin and Dave at the same time.

They also don't want to be identified, because ummm, well they, may one day want to get into the newsletter or unsuccessful author business.

My experience in athletics is that there is always some level of initiation that goes on among a group of guys like this. But it's usually only continued if the person is universally hated by the larger group. I don't know Justin personally or JBL, but I don't think the group would allow an innocent person to be constantly picked on by JBL or anyone. My instinct is to think Justin bright on any ongoing "ribbing" onto himself.

Mainstream media has started to cover the JBL bullying saga with Deadspin and Forbes recently releasing article about it. ESPN teased they won't which got them some backlash due to their rep of rarely doing things to upset their business partners.

The Deadspin report ended up confirming the passport story as being true. Johnny Mundo/John Morrison stated JBL told him to steal Roberts passport as a way to earn respect from him and as a way for JBL to stop bullying MNM at the time. MNM didn't steal the passport in the end but did seriously consider doing it.

#1-norm-fan 04-08-2017 12:17 AM

Wait... so is Morrison admitting he's the one who stole it or is he just saying JBL told him to but he didn't do it?

Emperor Smeat 04-08-2017 12:27 AM

Sorry hit the post button too early and forgot the link to the story and MNM not doing it in the end.

This is what Morrison/Mundo had to say about the situtation.

Quote:

“JBL asked me and my partner to steal [Justin’s] passport, and we didn’t,” John Hennigan (Lucha Underground champion Johnny Mundo) told Deadspin. At the time of the incident, he worked for the WWF as Johnny Nitro, teaming with current WWE producer Joey Mercury as “MNM.” “JBL was one of the main event guys at the time,” he recalled, “and I don’t remember exactly what Justin Roberts did to become the target for the hazing of this specific oversea trip, but JBL asked me and Joey to snag Justin’s passport.”

Under the circumstances, they had to think it over.

“I remember it ‘being a thing,’ you know? We were looking at Justin, he was a few rows ahead of us on this plane, sleeping. We were like, ‘What do we do?’” MNM had become a target of Layfield’s, as well, and they realized that if they went along with the abuse, which JBL presented to them as being a great prank, there was at least a decent chance that they would be left alone. Some of the abuse they endured included having the sleeves being cut off their ring robes—not only doing property damage, but getting them in trouble for not having the robes. “It’s enticing,” he said of going along with the plan.

“Ultimately, we considered the options, and wound up deciding to not do it,” he explained. “This is a weird thing for a wrestler to say, especially in that era, but I usually went by the golden rule. I wouldn’t have appreciated someone doing that to me, especially someone I considered a peer.”

Either JBL did it eventually or found someone else to do it but Morrison's story does give a different picture to JBL's claim about him not being involved in the theft.

Jordan 04-08-2017 12:52 AM

Fuck JBL. He's old and fat and helpless now, I really hope that someone breaks his fucking teeth into his big mouth. He deserves to be hurt really bad, fuck him that piece of shit.

Damian Rey 2.0 04-08-2017 01:11 AM

That's all well and good. Doesn't mean he isn't a shit stain for going out of his way to pick on people to the point of seeming harassment.

Lol. Where there's smoke, there's fire. You have multiple accounts of multiple talents reporting the same thing. Either JBL is being singled out by a group out to get him or he's really a shit sack bully who picks on people for no reason. I'm gonna go with the one that makes sense.

According to CBS Sports, Mauro Ranallo is done with the WWE but won't be officially released till his contract expires this August.

Ranallo's close friend, MMA personality Bas Rutten has publicly blamed Ranallo's announcing partner JBL as being the cause of Ranallo's latest bout with depression. Yesterday, JBL publicly wished Ranallo well and remarked that he was playing a "heel" on television, apparently in reference to the idea that his comments may have sparked Ranallo's problems.

A WWE spokesperson told PWInsider.com earlier today that Ranallo remains under contract to the company until August 2017.

CBS is one of the owners of Showtime, which is broadcasting a boxing event tonight featuring Ranallo on commentary

Looks like ESPN got involved with the JBL-Mauro bullying saga by dropping Coachman's weekly WWE tv segments. ESPN won't drop all coverage of WWE related stuff but Coachman implied its going to be more website based from now on.

Coachman made the big mistake of publicly taking a side on the issue and not in a good way. Started a Twitter feud with the Observer and kept making things worse the more he tweeted back.

If I was gonna catfish someone with a wrestler, Finn Balor would be very low on my list.

I would use The King of Kings Triple H and only use pics of him in his rassling gear

Then I would respond by saying "here's the thing" and talking about "this business"

You should really mention what the spoiler is in reference to, then have the spoiler tags after it.

Speculation going around the net is the WWE is going to start pulling their might towards the dirtsheets and news outlets to try to defuse this JBL-Mauro bullying saga from getting too much mainstream attention.

Observer's Dave Meltzer alluded to the next 2 weeks of this becoming more apparent and certain places and personalities basically outing themselves as in the WWE's pockets. Even though its not a surprise, Jonathan Coachman pretty much did it for ESPN for not wanting to go against the WWE.
