I like Mauro. Him and Nigel called sum dope shows before it went left. Bring in Gus Johnson for Raw Underground

Wherever he goes, I hope that dude finds some peace.

Haven't seen his work in a few years now, but I always thought he was dope and very committed to what he does. Having said that, I get why people don't like him.

The corniness is mostly intentional in my opinion.

I'd recommend his documentary to anyone who hasn't seen it. Great for a lot of reasons and it'll give you some insight as to where that over-the-top style comes from.

AEW has damn near 4 man commentary team at this point. Mauro doesn't need to go there

And his style is just not a fit whatsoever. The corny pop culture references and shyt is opposite of what they’re trying to portray with the wcw/southern wrestling promotion calling it straight for the most part. I can’t imagine hearing his schtick around those guys and trying to make it work.

He’s like a more polished/professional ROH commentator but they probably can’t afford him or if they’re even doing anything rn. I’d imagine it’s UFC or take some time off, no idea what impact is doing these days or if there would even be mutual interest.

Used to like him but the more I heard him the more unbearable he got.

If he toned down the corny references and catch phrases he could be a good play by play. Maybe it's a WWE production thing. I dunno

It's not. He's the exact same during PBC and Bellator broadcasts. He's good, but I can see why people don't like him. He got on my nerves when he was with Pride FC and talked over the entrances. He has his faults, but he's better than most.

Ya trippin he was a huge part of why early smackdown live was good.

If AEW gets him:blessed:

Facts. nikkas buggin. I mean his hip hop references were forced but it was :mjlol: more than anything.

I was just watching Styles vs Cena at Summerslam 16. Mauro helped give the match a big match feel. Cole would've made the match feel like it was on Sunday Night Heat

He was really good on the taped New Japan shows, which is why WWE wanted him in the first place.

A two man team of Mauro and Kevin Kelly, with Chris Charlton chiming in for translation would be cool
