Matt Striker

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Because Michael Cole doesn't cheer random faces and heels?

No, but at least Cole's consistent with a handful of people. Striker'll have a different opinion of someone from one-week-to-the-next.

Cole's flip-flopping has been even worse in the last month than Striker's ever was. In December I could have sworn he hated Barrett and Nexus and then randomly in January he reveals that he admires them for being "brilliant" despite despising all members of the original Nexus just one month prior and for the majority of time they have been on the main roster. What, did he come out of the heel stable enjoyment closet or something?

First off, just because he thought their plans were brilliant doesn't mean he doesn't hate them.

Second, almost a completely different group now.

All they did was change shirts and replace the token black guy.

No more Barrett, no more Gabriel, no more Slater. Punk & Ryan came in and since then Harris got punted. There was also the change in leader as well.

Exactly he doesn't hate them now but it was only two months ago he was talking about how despicable they were for months on end. Then he thinks differently about them randomly and play up how much he admires

Second, almost a completely different group now.

The New Nexus sure but The Corre (minus Jackson) is made up of all original Nexus members and he has played up his admiration of them since their inception despite hating their guts just one month prior. That seems a little silly to me.

Opinion seems pretty widespread about Matt Striker as a commentator. He's been replaced by Booker on SD, and I see a lot of different opinions in several threads, but not much about him in particular.

What did you guys think of him, as a commentator?

Did he get a raw deal being pushed aside for Booker?

i thinks he's not bad,not great but he's better than booker T(who a big dissapointment for me)

don't know if its just me i find it very hard to understand booker T's commontery to me me mumbles he's way through smackdown.

the WWE should bite the bullet & get Bobby"the brain"Heenan back(if he's not to sick & able to do it) imagine the brain & the king commontating together it would be AWESOME(as the Miz would say)
the brain could even get cole over(thats how good he was)

Striker was good for the enthusiasm he brought to the table. It was always funny to see him truly 'in the moment' when a big mark out moment ocurred. You wouldn't know who was more into it, the WWE universe, or Striker. Booker is good in his own respect as well. If you ever saw him and Nash do their "Chet Lemon and Black Snow" on TNA, they were hilarious. Booker brings his own knowledge to the table.

123hitman, I'm sorry to say this, but look up Bobby The Brain Heenan, and there is NO WAY he can commentate anymore. His health is so degenerated, and yes he was a TERRIFIC announcer, but sadly, he's been so sick and he's pretty much missing the lower half of his jaw. It would be awesome if he could, but he can't.
It'd also be awesome if Brock Lesnar came back to WWE, but that'll never happen, it'd also be awesome if Sting suddenly decided to quit TNA and come to WWE, right? But it'll never happen.
