Mauro Ranallo On Mental Health, Says He Wants His New Documentary To Show People ‘It’s OK To Not Be OK’

Mauro Ranallo recently spoke with MMA Junkie about his documentary “Bipolar Rock N Roller”, which will premiere tomorrow night on Showtime. You can read a few excerpts and watch the full interview below:

Ranallo comments on using his situation and mental health to help other people: 

“I don’t mind being the proverbial canary in the coal mine. I don’t even mind being a casualty. If this were to cost me some work, so be it. Thankfully, Showtime, WWE, Paramount Network, all of my media friends – the amount of feedback I’ve received? First, it’s humbling. I’ve got goosebumps. But the support, the fact that so many people are saying, ‘We need this now. You’ve inspired me to phone a therapist. You’ve inspired me to tell my wife.’ And it really is about the men, the alpha male syndrome we all – especially in my world, where you ‘show weakness,’ they say, or you’re shamed over the fact you may need to cry. Or maybe you need to get some help. I want to make it so that it’s OK to not be OK.”
