Striker IS a heel on NXT. He's so more subtle about it though. I remember his facials when Husky Harris put his arms on him. So smug, or the fact that he cuts people off regularly.

Plus he's not the first color guy to sing someone's theme. *Remembers Royal Rumble 04 where Tazz was singing Earnest "The Cat" Miller's theme. Two differences. 1. Tazz did an awesome job singing along with that song 2. No human can resist singing The Cat's theme. Somebody call my momma...somebody call my momma.... |

It's another reason I've gone from really liking Striker back on ECW to wincing whenever I hear him on Smackdown.

I went from disliking Striker on NXT to loving him on Smackdown. He's obviously having a blast doing what he does, and I enjoy that, singing and all. Nice to have someone not going on auto-pilot. Not to mention, he's got an extensive knowledge of wrestling history, and he does his best to put over the psychology of matches, rather than ignoring it and waffling about nothing like Cole/King.

I used to love when commentators sang along with Rob Conway's theme. Somebody need to start singing along to Zake Ryder's theme pronto!

I remember King singing along to Regal's real man's man theme at Survivor Series 98. Thats what I want from my commentators, commentators that suck up to heels like Ventura and Lawler used to. And thats what Striker is doing.

You lucky bastards, Striker is a very good announcer.
In France, for RAW, SD, NXT, Superstars and the DVDs, we have two morons saying awful jokes during matches, that people on the crowd are ugly, even for kids. The one who's dubbing angles is impersonating every single wrestler who has an accent, and gives every diva a ridiculous voice, especially for Vickie. The other can't call moves that are not finishers after more than 10 years announcing WCW and WWE, and sometimes does not understand what's happening (he said that Cena vs Sheamus was an Hell in a Cell even when the Steel Cage appeared in the ring).
And he's calling the chief of NXT Wade Jarrett like 7 times out of ten
