Striker really seemed to struggle after they broke his team with Todd Gresham up (and Gresham struggled without Striker to be fair). I thought he was doing fine with King and Cole until he really just started marking out all the time (not just him saying that, but when Bryan returned to fight the Nexus just yelling American Dragon and Cattle Mutilation was distracting) The clapping got annoying fast.

Replace either Tenay or Taz with him and Impact's announcing will be tolerable. This is what I want. Get rid of the shitty Taz. One of the constants of TNA is that, with each commentary replacement, it gets better. Though, to be honest, it's not going to be that big of a challenge replacing a guy who's been on cruise control for a decade and a man who struggles with the word "pigeon" nowadays. Really sucks to see him leave. I liked him a lot.

I believe that Striker was getting stale in his role and that Renee Young does a better job and is a fresh face.
Too bad for Striker, but I welcome the change.

Here's how I remember it. On this forum, no one minded "I'm marking out!" at the time, and then we heard about the backstage reaction and people totally turned on him. It was the typical "I'm rebelling against the guy all the Smarks like now that there's an external reason to do so, which means I'm a cool rebel!" thing that happened when Ryder had the Eve storyline and a million other times.
In any case, it was the dumbest thing. His reaction fit and enhanced the excitement of a Surprise Rumble Return, and it was never clear to me for a moment what was so bad... or even noticeable... about it. Was it that he used the term "marking out?" Oh no, he used a term they use on the internet, and only 100% of WWE fans use the internet. Was it some kind of stupid backstage etiquette thing, like the only way you're "one of the boys" is if you don't act like a fan? Stupidest damn thing.

On one hand, I'm sure he'll be better used somewhere else. On the other, it was his dream job, so I feel sorry for him.

Seems like a real nice dude in that video, a shame and i liked him, but hes had a pretty good run and got to compete at a Wrestlemania at least which is more then a lot of others could say. He will be fine, good luck to the guy.

Poor Matt This is a guy who got to live out his dream and refuses to bad mouth the WWE for their decision. That is something I find quite admirable. Anybody who didn't like "I'M MARKING OUT, BRO" can stuff it.

While he lost his way a little in recent years, I will always appreciate the effort he put into his commentary. He did his damnedest to get over what was happening in the ring, something sorely lacking a lot of the time.

From the most recent episode of Superstars.
Scott Stanford: "Some divas are upset that the Funkadactyls are going to be featured prominently on Total Divas." Striker: "...Cool."
Scott Stanford: "Cameron's the legal diva." Striker: "Legal diva. I like that. Cameron goes to law school, bumbling and fumbling, but she still solves cases."
Yeah, I get the sympathy and all but the dude apparently stopped giving a crap a long while ago. Hard to miss him.
