During the IC Title match on last night's TLC PPV, Matt Striker stated that there had not been an IC Title change in Texas for nearly 20-years. This is wrong, as Rey Mysterio defeated JBL at Wrestlemania earlier this year in Houston, Texas, Kofi Kingston won the title from Chris Jericho in Dallas at Night of Champions 2008; Umaga defeated Santino Marella in Dallas in July 2007 and Kane beat Chris Jericho in Houston in 2002.

It's been mentioned in another thread.
That is surprising that Striker would goof up like that though.

Cole and Lawler each average a mistake every 2 minutes, and yet Matt Striker's rapid-fire commentary has now contained its first mistake in many months.
For shame, Wrestlecrap...for shame.

He also screwed up calling Christian the current longest reigning singles champion and Micheal Cole of all people corrected him!
It was a bad night for all their little factoids, what with Sheamus "being the first non-US born wrestler to win the WWE Title since Yokozuna" and all!

he also called the inverted Alabama Slam and Inverted Alabama Jam.
But I'll totally let him off with that one because at least he made the connection to Hardcore Holly's move.

Well An Alabama Jam is a Leg drop off the top rope. I'd love to see what an inverted version would be like  |

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread about this:
This is the problem with criticising something an announcer says. We know they've always got someone yammering away in their ear, feeding them lines. You never really know what idiotic comment was their own, or what was prompted in order to put an angle over.
Honestly, I couldn't care less whether the IC Title has changed hands in Texas, Taiwan or Timbuktoo, I enjoy Striker's commentary far more than any other announcer in the business.

I hope Striker thanks his "massive internet fanbase" for fact checking him and apologizes for the error on Smackdown.
