JBL Goes On A Blocking Spree Against Mauro Ranallo Supporters Including Matt Jackson

It’s no secret John Bradshaw Layfield has been under some heat from the Internet Wrestling Community recently due to allegations concerning alleged bullying Mauro Ranallo. The #FireJBL has begun to trend due to this.

Some people are reporting JBL has taken a step in silencing his protesters. If only in his own Twitter feed. There have been many reports coming out in the past few days saying Bradshaw has began blocking people who are tweeting at him regarding the current bullying allegations.

Some were also blocked for using the “FireJBL” Twitter hashtag. Others who were blocked didn’t even mention JBL in their tweets as they were simply supporting Mauro Ranallo on social media.

One of the people who has received a block from JBL on Twitter is Matt Jackson from The Young Bucks. Matt Jackson didn’t seem to be tweeting anything negative against JBL, but The Young Bucks member joined the block party anyway.

It is a very interesting tactic JBL is taking to block people who are just supporting Mauro Ranallo. We’re not saying anything against JBL, because he’s great at what he does and is a fixture in WWE. But, there have to be better ways of dealing with this situation.

It might be a better idea if he were to simply leave the comments be. Most of the time if you simply ignore a situation like this it leaves a smaller chance for it to snowball. However, it doesn’t seem like WWE will be taking any action in the situation.

Still, some fans were on the edge of their seats to see if JBL and Corey Graves might get switched during the superstar shake-up. If that happened it might give Mauro Ranallo a chance to come back to SmackDown Live. But, since they didn’t do that it might be an indication this situation isn’t all JBL’s fault.
