It was reported earlier this week that WWE Smackdown announcer Mauro Ranallo was not able to make the live broadcast due to weather conditions on the East coast.
Impact Wrestling play-by-play man Josh Mathews took to Twitter to lash out about Mauro for not making an appearance on SmackDown LIVE this week.
Josh Mathews tweeted the following:
With @OfficialTAZ in the car, I once drove us 2 days to Indianapolis to make a TAPED Smackdown show from NYC. #JustSayin'

Former WWE co-worker Taz, chimed in as well with his thoughts on Mauro not appearing on the LIVE show.
Very dangerous driving conditions, @MichaelCole & myself. U drove the whole way. Gotta make the SHOT! Thats how it use to be... I guess. https://t.co/tFKeBXqwAe
