With how bad the commentary has been, does it make anyone miss Matt Striker?

You're right, things could always be worse.

Matt Striker was one of two people who actually acknowledged that JTG stood for "Jayson The Gangsta".

No, because even when Striker was at his best, King and Cole just shit all over him.
"This move is called the Cattle Mutilation."
"WHAT!? THAT'S STUPID! YOU'RE STUPID! STUPID MATT! KING LOOK HOW STUPID MATT IS!"
"I agree, Striker is stupid. Let's talk about it for the duration of this match instead of about the match. Oh, the match is over? Way to go Striker."

I'd rather gouge my eardrums out with blunt ice picks than listen to that insufferable know-it-all on commentary.

As bad as JBL and Alex Riley are, they've never spoiled the ending to a PPV.

I like the guy well enough. He doesn't often cross my mind, but I enjoyed his ECW announcing, you know, when he didn't have King and Cole actively cutting his legs out from under him.

All the time. He had some annoying quirks, but he actually gave a damn about all the matches and tried to put everyone over.

Every now and then, I think I miss Striker, then I watch some of his stuff and he really was largely terrible. Awful new nicknames for people and yeah he had some background knowledge but it was like being at NXT and being nudged in the ribs every match by someone telling you the wrestler's indie gimmick.

From what I've seen (which admittedly isn't much) he isn't so bad and actually calls matches pretty decently. But, if I ever get round to watching an entire episode that opinion may change lol.

Not even his mom wants to listen to his commentary.
Somewhere, Bam Neely and Striker could be wrestling RIGHT NOW and the world wouldn't even know. Or care.

He was ok in WWECW as he explained the backstory or fleshed out the character of many of the minor characters casual fans might not know/care about. Once he got called up and had to actually tell the story of the match as the wrestler (Cena, Orton ect) was already well known he floundered and towards the end floundered badly. He might be ok in nxt if he were still around.
Lawler and Coles bullying of him was shockingly unprofessional and they would have been disciplined if they worked for a normal company. Even if Striker sucks the veteran announcers should cover up for the new guy and mentor him to help him become better. I'm going to assume that Cole got a bit of a hazing from JR when he was inexperienced and thought Striker should go though the same and Lawler just goes with the flow (plus being from the kayfabe era has a low tolerance for any insider speak).
