In an upcoming interview scheduled to be released on Tuesday by “Inside The Ropes”, The recently released WWE announcer responded to rumors of having issues with Jerry Lawler.
“Basically I talk too much, I’m long winded and when I get going the fawcet starts dripping and the dreck just comes out, Jerry Lawler is a legend and has been part of the broadcasting team with WWE for over 20 years. When it seemed Jerry was getting annoyed me, he was like ‘you’ve got a lot of passions and things to say kid, but come on, shorten it up a little bit.’ I had to remember our fan base isn’t the internet, it isn’t the ‘smart mark’ Our fan base is that 9 year old kid at home, he does not care about the fact that…insert stupid Matt Striker fact here… all he cares about is John Cena needs to defeat Ryback right now, and Jerry to his credit would constantly try to help me with that.
“A lot of that stuff was my fault because I was like a 9 year old kid with an open microphone. All Jerry wanted to do was help me, there wasn’t any animosity in the back, it was like a father sitting down his teenage son who doesn’t wanna hear anything, saying this is how it’s got to be.”

During an interview with SirusXM Radio’s “Busted Open” wrestling talk show hosted by Doug Mortman and Mike Riker, recently released WWE announcer Matt Striker discussed his feelings on his release. In a series of highlights posted by Raj Giri at WrestlingInc.com Striker explains what the WWE is really about and what he says wrestling fans need to understand.
“Guys you got to understand something. WWE is an entertainment company that uses wrestling as a vehicle, it’s not a wrestling company. And that’s something I had to learn. No one give’s a crap about Billy Robinson. No one cares about Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji. All they care about is that John Cena has to take on Mark Henry and why. And I think that’s something that we all need to kind of understand.”
