Alex Riley replaces Matt Striker

[Crayo]

Alex Riley has replaced the departed Matt Striker on WWE Superstars.

PWInsider

Not even sure how to react.

 

[seabs]

On commentary? Meh why not? Have him be an annoying fuck heel on Smackdown before cheapshotting a face, like Punk did when he was injured.

 

[Leo C]

Uh, OK? Weird decision if you ask me, but who knows what may happen.

 

[Farooq]

Riley finally gets a push guiz :yay:

 

[DK JAMES]

God dammit. There was literally no point in firing Striker in the first place, and Riley on mic instead of in the ring is dumb as well.

 

[CM Punk]

At least his job somewhat safe.

 

[Irwin R. Schyster]

What the fuck?


I mean, okay, I guess they couldn't think of anything to do with him in the ring....this is a bit of a weird choice, but, I guess I will have to see how good he is.

 

[Lockard 23]

Wow. Superstars.

He's moving up in the world.

 

[Lacky]

Least he's getting some TV time I suppose.

 

[Farooq]

Well it's more of a I don't give a fuck reaction honestly. He gets no screen time on main shows, and he doesn't wrestle. He gets announcing time at a announcer table on most likely their least view show, which is a lower quality HeAT or Velocity. I can say, "Oh yeah he moved up a bit." The fact of the matter is though that he didn't move up, he moved maybe half an inch, but it still doesn't do anything. He needs a push, not a little tiptoe step, and defiantly not one to the announcing table.

 

[Shadie T]

Just when you think theres not bigger jobber than Ryder

 

[THG?]

I love Riley. He's been a main eventer at Superstars in a while, and seeing him on commentary is a step forward, to be honest.

 

[Dat Kid1]

Riley finally gets a push guiz :yay:

Is that what we're calling it?

 

[Farooq]

Is that what we're calling it?

Still a better push story then Kane/Ryder
