Matthews saying "this team might be the new odds-on favorite!" every single time a new team came out infuriated me. Nobody on the Raw announce team has annoyed me that much in months. So stupid.
So, to reiterate, Josh Matthews f***ing SUCKS.

I pointed this out in the thread, but during one match, Josh proclaimed that Earl Hebner was close to counting out the participants.
Then, Earl Hebner yells out THREE. What a f***ing doofus.

Can't believe I'm saying this but bring back Mike Tenay. Jesus, at least he's not a moron and knows what he's talking about most of the time.

I always hated Mathews and he's still awful.

The only thing I learned from tonight was that Josh Matthews would probably lose his house if he tried betting on anything.

I hope this thread becomes stickied because lets be honest: each week there's going to be some truly dumb shit said by Mathews, judging by what we've heard since he's taken over, so may as well make a full thread about it instead of there being numerous about it each week.

Do we even need stickies on this board? The Impact thread from two weeks ago is still on the first page, so as long as he keeps saying stupid shit every two weeks, it's not even an issue.

Hmm, point taken. It completely slipped my mind about the lack of threads and that's ironic considering I was the one who created the TNA is Boring thread and complaining about lack of interest in the product and threads.

Josh is someone who claims to hate the WWE system but yet that is all he knows.

Yeah, he is so entrenched in the Vince cliches that he doesn't realize it. I can't get past anyone ever again saying "abeyance" on a wrestling program. The whole Bryan/Orton nonsense rendered that term poison. Hell, Matthews didn't even get usage right anyway. A team giving up the tag belts due to injury is NOT abeyance. That is just a vacant title. Abeyance seems to be if there is some controversy and the title is held in limbo until another match happens to settle the dispute (as in the Bryan/Orton rematch). In other words: Bryan and Orton had a controversial 3 count, title held up = abeyance. Bryan gets hurt and has to give up the title = vacant.
The 33% crap (or 25% in a 4 way) has to stop in every promotion. It implies a level of equality among the wrestlers that doesn't exist. Angle, Lashley, and Young are not equals. If I had to peg it Nate Silver style, I'd say Angle had a 45% chance in the match, Lashley had a 40% chance, and EY had maybe 15% chance of winning.

Josh Mathews is no Scott Steiner at fractions and percentages, that's for sure.

I thought Josh did really well by himself this week on Impact. He called matches, hyped feuds, didn't argue about a stupid, little semantic and take away from the match; he was good.
I honestly have no complaints about him. I'd be happy if he called shows by himself each week as he's done his best work that way. An announce partner seems to hinder him.

He was at least tolerable this week but learn the history of the f***ing company you work for. He's talking about how the BroMans came in at "around the same time" when there's a two year gap between Jessie and Robbie debuting.
He'll get better as he goes on, I'm sure, but I still think he's no good. Although, this week did make me realize how little of a factor Taz played on the commentary since I barely even noticed he was gone.

I do have to admit commentary was more tolerable this week but Josh doesn't need to constantly yell all the time on commentary

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. Clearly Dixie is on a headset yelling at him to say all that.
