I was watching Punk's DVD and the Ray Punk Hair vs Mask match made me remember how aggressive he was on commentary. It seemed he was trying to out talk Cole and Lawler. I like Matt on commendatory because it's like(at least at that time) he was like the "smark" announcer. I couldn't tell if it was his gimmick or he was trying to do hist best.
Striker was obviously very passionate and talented WHY WHY WHY release him?
Edit: Wikipedia: He opted not to renew his contract.

I liked that Striker was probably the only person who acknowledged that JTG was short for "Jayson The Gangsta".

His best qualities were his worst.
He needed to dial back the insider stuff by a little bit and he'd have been better off.

He really rubbed me the wrong way near the end when he couldn't tell the difference between Primo and Epico and seemed more interested in making inane references than adding to the match.
He was quite good at one point 2010 was the start of his slide, but WWE totally made the right choice to let him go. He seemed miserable anyway.

He got destroyed on PPV because Cole and Lawler really obviously didnt like him and didnt let him get in anything. 2010-2012 featured a lot of pettiness on commentary that detracted from the product that you cant immediately attribute to "Cole is a heel".

It seemed he was trying to out talk Cole and Lawler. that seemed to happen pretty quick because lawler & cole did their best to shut him up/ drown him out from the first time they put him on a ppv commentary |

Striker made me cringe every time he was on commentary without fail.

I enjoyed him for the most part. His 37 horrible 'alliteration for the sake of it because teacher' nicknames for every wrestler, not so much.

I loved him for a while, but his "of course, some people say" and "notice how" stuff really got tiresome after a while.
Bored Lawler, heel Cole and up his own ass Striker. 2010 commentary was not great.

He started off quite well then got worse and worse as time went on. By 2011 he was unbearable. He went from sounding knowledgeable and giving relevant insight that Cole and King couldn't to coming off as a know it all that gives stupid nicknames to everyone and says things like "I'M MARKING OUT BRO!"

Striker gave me douche chills every time he opened his mouth while on commentary.
