Striker had a lot to offer, just WWE didn't want to put resources and time in to make something of him. He easily could of been a great heel manager.

Good, he has always been annoying as hell.

That's a shame. I was a fan and he was a very talented commentator due to his knowledge. I liked his snarky heel approach too. I'm not sure I understand why he didn't take as a full time commentator, but then, King and Cole weren't really going anywhere.

"IT'S A MARK OUT MOMENT IM MARKIN OUT BRO"
Just means he's a wrestling fan. He's reliving his childhood when Diesel or Booker T came out. It was exciting to him. It was exciting to me. Better than Michael Cole, who can't decide whether he's a heel or face. At least he was employed by WWE when most of you sit behind your computer screens and critique and talk smack about him.

Sucks, Matt Striker was one of the few commentators who did his job well and was very knowledgable. King has been horrible for years and Cole is just plain bad. Especially when he goes on his "I disagree with you so I'm going to yell over you like a child" (like he did with JBL monday about Zeb Colter) approach or plugging something on twitter.

I never saw the appeal in Striker.
He irritated me so much.
I much prefer Regal to any of the other WWE commentators at the moment. He's awesome.

Id say its rather unfair, he had a lot to offer and moreso than some commentators and interviewers they have.

I was a "fan" of him simply because he was an indy guy who made it to the WWE. I always am a fan whenever someone gets pulled up for being passionate. Though, i'm not upset..these things happen.

what a classy dude.
It really sucks because you can just tell that for him, this was way more than a job. There's only a few in the company who strike me as the same way.

A mistake for WWE. He was knowledgeable and believed in the product. I'll miss him.

Matt Striker should've just stayed a heel manager. Once paired with the right guy he coulda been gold. But I lost the already litle respect I had for him as a commentator when he had his infamous "Mark Out" at the Rumble. I always found it funny that he lost his commentary job to Booker T, the man he was so idioticly excited to see.

He was by far my favourite commentator, just my opinion but that's what it is. Striker's commentary kept me thoroughly entertained in Superstars matches and especially when the Divas were involved. IMO I thought he really cared about the business and I thought that was clear in the way he spoke. I would seriously rate him over some of the commentators they have currently. Sucks to see him let go |

Didn't really like him but wouldn't say I'm happy he lost his job. I always fast forward past him and Renee Young during Raw Classics On Demand. Annoying.com.
They should have kept him and got rid of that Scott Stamford or Schaffer guy, or whatever the f. I don't even know what he does.
