I gave him a chance and I actually thought he was alright at first but now that he's been around for a few months, I can now say that I think he sucks just as much as Mike Tenay did.
What annoys me most is that he has that Matt Striker smarmy "know-it-all" factor to him yet says a bunch of stuff that's either stretching the truth or just outright wrong. I know you have to push your product but don't do it at the expense of your own credibility by spouting out a bunch of stuff that's absurd and no one on earth could possibly believe.
Taz is no good either but that's to be expected at this point.

I keep expecting his mom to barge in and tell him to quit playing with his action figures and come down for supper.

I haven't really liked Josh since he was impersonating Al Snow on Tough Enough. He peaked in training!

Mathews has been crap since 2011. I think people hoped that part of his problem was the way WWE produces their announcers, sadly we now see that isn't the case.

I know we shit on WWE commentary for not paying attention to the match, but TNA's is way worse. Between Taz and his ramblings about random things such as growing up in Brooklyn or Josh and his random sports comments

He's so bad. And what's worse is his arrogance about it all; look at the tweet to JR if you want to see more about that.
He's absolutely awful on commentary and his team with Taz is one of the worst I have ever seen. Their exchange on Impact during the Kim/Angelina match was one of the most infuriating moments on commentary I have ever heard. And why must they continue to focus on them in their announcers cave! It's not revolutionary that you have your announcers in a dingy hotel lobby calling the action that obviously isn't live, it's very second-rate.

Obviously, this isn't Josh's fault but man I hate the "announce booth" they use. f***'s sake, if you are gonna do studio commentary, at least have it look nice. That shit looks like I could pull it off with my buddy in my small bedroom.

Taz at least has a semi-entertaining podcast.
Josh Mathews... even back in the days of Velocity he really wasn't that great.

I like how almost every match Josh claims something is trending, and even though I don't watch it live, I don't even have to look to know he was probably lying.
I think the last legit trend they had was Spud during the hair vs hair match March 13th.

His commentary during Angle vs. Lashley from a few weeks ago was horrifying.
Kurt and Lashley shaking hands as a show of mutual respect after the match? Nah, just gonna ignore that so I can yell about Kurt Angle some more.

After being overshadowed for years he finds himself on a show where he's more famous than most of the wrestlers and it's gone to his head. Cole went though a douche phase when he became a veteran I remember (I think it inspired his heel character) hopefully Josh grows out of it in the same way.

I honestly preferred Tenay.
Mathews has always been an obnoxious, garbage announcer. Over the years he co-opted a bunch of Cole-isms and got more smug, and now he's worse than ever.

See, that's the problem. Matthews just feels like a 2nd rate WWE announcer calling TNA. He has the same Cole cliches about someone having a 1 in 4 chance in a 4 way and just feels like a corporate WWE announcer. Say what you want about Tenay, but at least he wasn't brainwashed by the WWE way of announcing and seemed a little different in his approach. Tenay's problem is that he could call a sterile cruiser match with no storyline or feud, stuff where he can reel off history and movesets, but he struggles to put over dramatic storyline driven stuff.

Matthews tonight made me rant at my own TV. That's how bad he sucked. He did the same idiotic "33 1/3 chance" crap during the 3 way main event. He also dared to utter the word "abeyance" on TNA TV after the whole Bryan/Orton idiocy. And he also proclaimed two men who have never teamed before (Bram and EC3) the favorites to win the tag titles. This guy sucks.
