AS I SEE IT 5/21: Thoughts on a documentary you need to watch this weekend

AS I SEE IT
Bob Magee
Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets
PWBTS.com

Combat sports and wrestling announcer Mauro Ranallo, and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new Showtime Sports documentary titled "Bipolar Rock N' Roller". The title comes from the name Ranallo gave himself as a wrestling announcer and DJ back in the early 1990's. The documentary will premiere on Showtime during Mental Health Awareness Month this Friday at 9:00 pm ET/PT. 

Some of the footage you will see in the documentary is raw, visceral, and disturbing. It comes from Ranallo giving his best friend, Haris Usanovic, permission to film him at his lowest and highest points, during some episodes of the illness that are physically and emotionally hard to watch. But they are necessary to watch to understand the depths of the illness Ranallo has, how remarkable what Mauro Ranallo has accomplished is, and the true nature of the battle he faces daily. Friday's documentary also features interviews with friends and family members to further tell the story. 

Ranallo has said about this documentary: "The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure— but it doesn't have to be a death sentence." 

The battle Ranallo faces is not unique....far from it. 

Here are some numbers from the National Institute on Mental Illness: 

1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million, or 18.5%— experiences mental illness in a given year.

1 in 25 adults in the U.S.—9.8 million, or 4.0%—experiences a serious mental illness in a given year that substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities.

2.6% of adults in the U.S. live with bipolar disorder.

6.9% of adults in the U.S.—16 million—had at least one major depressive episode in the past year.

18.1% of adults in the U.S. experienced an anxiety disorder such as post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and specific phobias. 

Unlike what some would prefer, what this documentary features can't be entirely divorced from the JBL-Vince McMahon-Mauro Ranallo situation of last year. It isn't entirely, as footage from WrestleMania 34 weekend in New Orleans is a part of the documentary. 

It's obvious that neither John Layfield or Vince McMahon caused Mauro Ranallo's illness. No one suggests that. As Ranallo has made clear, his illness pre-dates any of that by many years. But the thought that John Layfield, Vince McMahon and others involved (despite what any statement in a legal settlement says notwithstanding) in Ranallo's well- reported upon workplace bullying all played a major part in causing Ranallo's most recent breakdown. What took place caused pain for someone they KNEW was going through what he has to every day, and makes me feel there is a special place in the lowest level of Hell for anyone who was involved in it. 

People have committed suicide for far... far less. If WWE thinks they've had problems with the Saudi Arabia deal... what could have resulted had Mauro Ranallo not had the support system he did... might have been much, much worse. 

In a recent interview promoting the documentary for MMAJunkie.com, Ranallo said the following: 

“How many millions of people who suffer with what I do never get the #%&%@#$ chance and because of it have to kill themselves – because someone wouldn’t listen, Ranallo said.... “All I want is to be heard. Just listen. You can save a life. You don’t have to spend a cent. You don’t have to spend a cent – but we need money, we need resources from the government and the medical (industry).

Why can’t we talk about mental health, which impacts all of us? I cannot believe that still, even today, I have family: ‘When is he going to be OK? Does he look for attention like this all the time? Doesn’t he get enough attention being on TV?’ You think I do this for attention? Wow. I put myself
out there because I want to save a life because I’ve lost too many [people I know”]. 

As a society, we treat mental illness in an entirely different manner than we treat physical illness. If someone 
has a broken arm, they get it X-rayed and a cast put on it. If someone has cancer, they are treated with some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation to try to save their life. If someone has an allergy, they take medication, or avoid the item they are allergic to as much as possible (or in some cases, avoid it completely). But no one thinks twice about it. 

But if someone is dealing with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, they are told to "snap out of it", to 
"grow a spine", to "deal with it". No one would think of saying those words to a child with leukemia...but they would, and do, to adults or children dealing with mental illness....even some in Ranallo's own family, 

The trailer for this documentary is linked below via You Tube, and is elsewhere online. Be aware that it is as 
disturbing as I described. Someone dealing with mental illness could well be triggered by what the trailer shows. 

It's at this link. 

If you can, please take the time to watch it, and to watch Friday's documentary when it airs, or on a subsequent airing. Then remember what you saw if a friend, co-worker, or loved one has mental health issues, and act accordingly. 

Showtime Boxing ran an ad for the documentary immediately before a Saturday night Showtime Boxing card that was called (as most are) by Ranallo. If WWE had one ounce of integrity, they would air an advertisement for it on RAW or Smackdown this week...or at least on WWE.com (if it was thought the ad might be a bit much for children or those not expecting it), especially since WWE footage was used in it. But I'm not holding my breath waiting for it. 

For anyone reading this blog who is dealing with depression, bi-polar disorder, or other mental health issues, please understand YOU ARE NOT ALONE. As the numbers above show, you are FAR from alone. 

Please talk to someone and use the resources here, or find someone you trust to help you. You ARE worth helping.

AS I SEE IT 3/30: Someone in Louisiana is trying to sanitize wrestling for your protection

 

AS I SEE IT

Bob Magee

Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets

PWBTS.com

It's Wrestlemania week, and fans should be concentrating on the story lines and matches on the Wrestlemania card, and all the associated WWE, NXT, and independent shows that weekend.

But this is wrestling, and of course, there has to be drama.

Late last week, The Louisiana State Athletic Commission issued rules which ban pretty much anything short of a college wrestling match (important note...for some):

1. All variations of the Pile Driver;

2. All variations of the Power Bomb;

3. The “Moonsault”, “Shooting Star”, or “450 Splash” or any variation thereof which involves one wrestler, leaping or flipping off the ropes or turnbuckles to contact the head or neck of the opponent with any part of his body;

4. The “Stungun” of any variation thereof which results in the one fighter’s head or neck being dragged, draped or “closelined” [sic] across the ropes;

5. The striking of a wrestler’s head with any object, chair, trashcan [sic] lid, etc., and

6. No wrestler shall throw, push, shove or force another out of the ring or over the top rope.

Talent can get around these "regulations" including “provided permission is sought and obtained prior to the event by both wrestlers and the requesting wrestlers have sufficient training, athletic ability and experience to perform the maneuver without endangering one another.”

Now.....WWE is not subject to these regulations. Neither is Ring of Honor. John Green Jr., a lawyer who serves as the commission secretary confirmed exceptions have been made for these two companies.

So think about this: Will Ospreay does a move which falls under #3 in Ring Of Honor. That's OK because "he's a professional". But when he does this same move at CZW, or EVOLVE, or WWN, he's not "professional" Does anyone realize how patently stupid this sounds?

Then there's the matter wrestling promotions owned by other big companies or people with deep pockets that might have axes to grind.

Can't wait until someone from MGM (remember: Lucha Underground) calls the Governor's office and asks if they want any more movies in their state. Or the Canadian billionaire that owns TNA has his lawyers call. Or when EVOLVE/WWN (all but in name a feeder to WWE) calls Vince and asks him to tell Louisiana to back off....

As far as Louisiana is concerned, they/we are money with legs. WrestleMania 30 generated a record $142.2 million in economic impact for New Orleans. Think that money doesn't talk? So do you by reminding that YOU are that lifeblood...the person who spends tourist money and makes up those figures above. While fans are obviously primarily going to see Wrestlemania and the associated WWE events, they're also going to see twenty or so independent shows and conventions associated with Wrestlemania. They're spending $2-3,000 per person (or more) in many cases. They aren't just "wrestling fans". They are the kind of money I cited above.

Contact the Governor's office, and let them know how unfair, illegal, and disrespectful to fans (aka tourists, aka money) and wrestlers who've spent a lifetime learning what they do.

Email the Governor's office and let them know how unenforceable, unfair, and likely illegal these regulations are. Point out the Will Ospreay example I gave above.

For those who think Governor's offices don't listen to such things, I'll take you back to Pennsylvania and 2005. The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission placed a draconian ban on a long list of things used by CZW, including barbed wire. There was one problem. That very month, WWE held a barbed wire cage main event at the No Way Out PPV at the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, PA with Big Show taking on John Bradshaw Layfield. Pittsburgh radio stations ran advertisements months ahead of time promoting "the first ever barbed wire cage match for the WWE championship." 

This match was allowed to occur, despite the fact that the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission banned the use of barbed wire and fluorescent light tubes in professional wrestling events in November 2002.

The Pennsylvania Governor's office was bombed with emails and phone calls, to the point that the State Athletic Commission was finally forced to back off.
