Mauro Ranallo: WWE Announcer felt destined to fail if only for the memories of others entirely unable to cope with Vince McMahon screaming in their ears, but the combat sports commentator instead had to deal with his colleague b*llocking him the flesh too.

Bradshaw was subsequently booted from the both whilst Mauro found a finer fit with a role as NXT's play-by-play man.
