Should have been Riley. I liked Josh Mathews. I hate Riley as a wrestler/on screen character, but he's great on the pre shows in his role.

I'll miss Josh....but yeah, WWE is in a position with announcers where losing him isn't a huge loss.

I enjoy him as a wrestler and feel that his current role is a bit of a waste of his charisma. He does embody JR's mantra of "maximizing your minutes" by pouring his heart and soul into it, but at the same time you can tell he'd rather be anywhere else and it's awkward. Also it annoys me how everyone around him seems to punch him in the dick by playing the "haha you're stuck here and not wrestling" card.

As everyone has said, he was pretty good on commentary until he was Cole-d. Now we have Byron Saxton, who I only remember because of his ridiculous name, A-Ry, who is absolutely dreadful, and two to three guys I could not tell you the names of.

I'll be legitimately sad if Scott Stanford is the next person to be released. He was pretty entertaining on Z True Long Island Story & Superstars. Also if Josh is gone Puppet H can cohost the rumored returning Are You Serious with Road Dogg.

At least this means we'll get a shoot interview out of him, too bad it'll likely be from RF Video.

He served his time. It was time to get a new voice on the broadcast team IMO. Mathews hasn't been that good in recent years.
Matt Striker was WWE's best commentator. He should be calling Raw alongside Joey Styles but Vince wants 3 puppets who repeat after him, not 3 good wrestling commentators.
I don't see why Vince just doesn't call the damn matches himself. It's not like he hasn't done it before.

No big loss. Didn't care about him when he was around, won't miss him now he's gone.

I liked him. So who takes over the pre and post shows now? Those interchangeable guys on Main Event and NXT (Not including Regal and Renee)?

I remember when he was on Tough Enough He was one of the first guys I ever saw do a STANDING Shooting Star Press, really thought he would go places. That was John Morrison who did the standing SSP on Tough Enough

Maybe he got absorbed back into Undertaker's tattoos. That's how Taker possessed him that one time.
