Justin Roberts And The Hazing Of Talent

Funny thing is that miz does bring up is hazing all the time in interview how proud he is of getting through it. He attribute his dedication to get through it as the reason he was able to get where he is in the company right now. Cena and orton got haze when they were rookies, maybe not to the level of miz but they did. Hogan, flair, michaels, bret hart and pretty much all the greats have been haze at some point during they career. The stories theses guys would tell you would make you blush.

Until, i want to say the last 10 years, this was the mentality of the wrestling business. I was exceptable mentality of pro wrestling and a way to weed out those that really wanted to be a pro wrestlers from guy that was using it as a stepping stone for something else.

Now with social media being what it is, we can't do that anymore because society as a whole is becoming to PC and will be outrage by pretty much anything they feel unconfortable with and with criticize anything.

So then how do you feel about JBL hazing someone like Mauro Rallo, a COMMENTATOR?

Why does a commentator have to prove if they deserve to be in the business? He doesn't need to be tough, since he doesn't wrestle in the ring.

Rallo ended up getting depression. Does that make him "weak"?

No, people like JBL don't haze to test talent. They do it because they are narccisic, sociopathic POS.

BTW, JBL also hazed Joey Styles, another commentator, until Styles decked him and put JBL on his ass. I wonder if that proved that Styles deserved to be there.

Wasn't Justin Roberts a ring announcer? Why does he have to prove to other people that he is tough enough to be in the business?

I didn't mind it at the time because i thought it was part of the show. Like when corey is constantly hazing baron saxson or back in the day jesse ventura was hazing vince mcmahon. That was my thinking at the time. Then mauro told the real story and i was again o.k. with it as he pretty much came in defense of JBL and said that JBL had nothing to do with his depression.

If it's part of the show and the people involve are o.k with it then who i'm i to be upset about it. If it's not part of the show then it's another problem and this type of behavior need to change.

Obviously Joey Styles had a problem with it, since he decked JBL for it.

Justin Roberts must have had a problem with it, otherwise we wouldn't even be discussing this, and it is him who brought it to light.

Besides, my understanding was that JBL was hazing Rallo backstage as well, not just in a playful manner like they do on the show.

JBL is a bully and those who defend his behaviour probably are bullies as well.

So what your saying is that mauro is a bully since he defended him when he came back right. Bruce prichard is a bully because he defended jbl in the past. Everybody that go and enjoy JBL during prichard live show are bullies because they enjoy hearing about JBL talk about that backstage stuff.

All i'm saying is that in all your account about this subject, we only had one side of the story and judging people based without having the whole story is a sort of bullying as well.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not defending JBL for what he did or didn't do because i don't have enough info on the subject to make up my mind about this subject. But there been more people that came to the defense of JBL over the year then people that told story of JBL bullying them. So to me this is old news we should move on from this.

"I'm not defending JBL for what he did or didn't do"

gee, you could have fooled me. You make it sound like JBL is some innocent dove who the dirtsheets made up stories about.

Justin Roberts said that JBL bullied him. So you are saying that Roberts is a liar, then?

Maybe these guys "defended" JBL because they are scared of him.

Or maybe they are defending him because they know him better then you and i do. I'm not saying that justin is lying because i don't think he is but i feel also the fact he came out gave a opportunity for the dirt sheet to spin a narrative about JBL that has been proven time and time again that wasn't totally true, especially in the mauro case which he came clean about when he came back to wwe, yet fans still want to believe that mauro was lying because he's scared of JBL or because he doesn't want to lose his job in wwe. If you knew anything about Mauro, he know that he doesn't lie about stuff like this and he's always been straight forward when it comes to things like bullying so if he said back then that JBL is inoncent, i believe him 100%

But at the end, JBL isn't clean as snow and i do believe that some of the stories are true as at the time of justin was employed by the company, vince had is little group of enforcer in the locker room and JBL was one of them.

They allegedly berated him on the tour bus, threw his luggage off the bus, and at one point in the Far East, JBL allegedly had both buses stopped on the side of the road (one 'face' bus, one 'heel' bus) and made Roberts transport his gear from the face bus to the heel bus, and continued their verbal assault on him all the way to the hotel.
