The JBL bullying saga has gotten a small amount of mainstream press in the past couple of days, with Sports Illustrated, Vice, and Deadspin picking up the story, among a few others.
Bradshaw seemed like he was trying to be “extra nice and friendly” or something on SmackDown, which made me kinda feel bad for him, I think. He has also apparently been blocking people on Twitter who have tweeted support at Mauro Ranallo, or people who follow both him and Mauro, which is pretty weird.
There were also a few “Fire Bradshaw” chants during SmackDown tonight in Boston.

A fan also had a “JBL Bullied Me” sign right next to the announce table and was apparently ejected from the show.

Mauro posted this on Twitter:
Please support the men & women who put their bodies on the line. I am gonna be fine. No one buys a ticket for an announcer.👊 https://t.co/xMRCn1Z7sO
