KISS ME KRIS

I was watching the show, Joey made his stupid comment during a time killer segment while they were taking the ring ropes down. Crowd booed him as soon as he got on the mic. Audible groan when he did that. Especially since he framed it with "FloSlam told me not to make political jokes..." Dude fired himself. What a fuckin dummy.

Is Styles still the website guy for WWE, or did he leave that in order to get fired at this job?

Also Rob McCarron is going to be Floslam senior editor or something, but will still do the STR podcast.

The WWE canned him a few months ago and doing the commentary for Evolve was his first gig after that

If I watched more TNA I'd have to give it Matthews and Pope but Matt Striker is the only person who has made me turn off a show this year

matt striker was champ of my local indie for one weekend in august 2014, and according to the guy with the icp tattoos who sets up the ring, was "chiller than he thought he would be"

i don't remember what the point of this story was but matt striker is okay i guess

Otunga has had some subtlly good moments on Smackdown specially during the Ellsworth stuff when he plays off of JBL's outrage.

Knowing how bad Joey was tonight makes me fearful for how bad the Beyond Wrestling TFT tournament's commentary was since it was a very good show being there live in person.

Joey Styles is supposed to be doing the commentary for the Chikara video game.

Awkward.

Otunga is good because most of the time you forget he's actually there, whereas the other 3 make sure that you drat well KNOW that they are there.

Gabe has no idea what he's talking about, Cornette would never go after someone with a bat.




He obviously would use a tennis racket.

Might be a reference to go the promo he did for the Roh vs czw feud where he threatened Zandig with a Louisville slugger.

Louisville Slugger is also one of Jim's nicknames, stemming from the whole tennis racket interference gimmick. Layers!

I didn't watch King of Trios but I imagine it was like the rest of his recent output where he clearly doesn't follow the promotion or know who anybody is so he can't get the angles on the show over and also he's really bad at calling matches without Paul Heyman or hell even Vince feeding him lines

no. OVW had several documented instances where someone hosed something up in-ring and Cornette went back into the abandoned area of the arena and beat the poo poo out of stuff with a baseball bat. Then would go lecture the fuckerupper with bat in hand. Jim's told this story on his podcast a few times.

I hope Cornette takes a baseball bat to Joey Styles. Simply because he's on Josh Mathews or Matt Striker level commentary.

Styles got the boot from Chikara. Beyond is going to talk to him via phone call before announcing anything.

Edit: aaaaannnd he's gone.
