It takes a big man to admit he was wrong. A humongous man. A giant of a man. A man with a chiseled jaw and washboard abs. A man, most of all, with a penis so large it can only be described as intimidating.
It's with this in mind that I admit that I was wrong about Josh Mathews. I said he was vanilla. So vanilla, in fact, that I mistook him for Todd Grisham. I was watching RAW last night and I realised he was actually quite good. Whereas Booker T will say the most random shit known to man - and, for some reason, put heels over and bury faces - and Matt Striker will abandon his post to go and interview people, Matthews actually compensates for heel Cole's weaknesses (i.e. the fact that he'll abandon his character if he has to do any actual play-by-play) and compliments Jerry Lawler quite well. Unlike most face commentators, he doesn't dig himself into a hole constantly and he doesn't back the faces for the sake of backing the faces. For example, at Elimination Chamber, he called Ezekiel Jackson pulling Justin Gabriel (who wasn't the legal man) out of the ring as fair; which it pretty much was. Kudos, Josh Mathews.
I bet he still can't do a moonsault though.
