Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts' recently released autobiography, "Best Seat In The House: Your Backstage Pass Through My WWE Journey," is an inspirational story about a lifelong pro wrestling fan who got to live out his dream.
But it's much more than that. Roberts, who spent more than a decade in WWE before being released in 2014, takes readers behind the curtain and goes into detail about backstage politics and WWE's bullying culture, including how former pro wrestler JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield) bullied him.
Coinciding with the release of Roberts' book is a story that's been making the rounds on wrestling websites (and some mainstream ones, as well) regarding the reason "SmackDown Live" commentator Mauro Ranallo hasn't appeared on the show the past five weeks and likely won't return for the remainder of his contract. According to The Wrestling Observer, Ranallo, who suffers from bipolar disorder, has been dealing with mental health issues that were brought on by bullying from his broadcast partner, JBL.
