He makes the Showtime stuff almost unwatchable. I especially hate it when Mauro throws out one of his MANY, MANY metaphors during an event. Good example: "He got dropped like a bag of groceries after Grandma slipped on the ice". Um, what? Doofus. Can’t stand this clown. He makes the Showtime stuff almost unwatchable.

You managed to spend three paragraphs dissing him and dropped promoters and personalities attesting that they dislike him but you haven't even given us a hint of what he does. For all we know he's just got bad BO or something, I remain unconvinced that he is a terrible announcer. The only thing I can think of is a few times he's dropped off-color comments (like about Gina Carano) but honestly that doesn't really bother me. @#9 Vlad: That was some of that lamest FUD trash talk I’ve ever seen.

His ridiculous commentary is just another example of an announcer trying to make himself the star of the event instead of the fighters. Get on YouTube and watch the prank CroCop & Bas played on him where CroCop acted like he was pissed off at Mauro and watch Mauro shit his pants!! Mauro’s a douche.

I think it's only fair you post your real full name if you're going to make such statements. Are you someone who is in the industry and have truly had one-on-one experiences with Ranallo? Or, are you just some random dude on the Internet making crap up? And I have been to an after-party that Ranallo was at. He was a regular guy and he seemed to be getting along just fine with the fighters. Who are you? I think it’s only fair you post your real full name if you’re going to make such statements.

None of my fighters like him, Pride execs were on the verge of canning him, Elite XC, Strikeforce and TFN are pondering the same things. Ask Bas off the record, and see how much he likes Ranallo. Just go to one afterparty with him and then post your thoughts. Once you get over the 'awe' factor, it is very evident the type of person he is. He's never done jack to me but I've been there dozens of times to see his act. I am shocked he is still in this industry. Just an FYI – I’ve unfortunately been dealing with Ranallo for years.

I remember watching him with Stampede Wrestling and thinking, man this Ranallo guy needs to switch to decaf.

But he insists on throwing out metaphors and similes that are ridiculous. If he’d just focus on calling the fight he’d be alright.

ANYONE BUT FRANK TRIGG! mauro is great.
