This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands and a brand new laptop with a built in webcam and microphone. Welcome to the first edition of A Minute With ThinkSoJoE!
The founder of BoredWrestlingFan.com and it’s parent company, Fropac Entertainment, ThinkSoJoE has been a wrestling fan since he first saw WWF television in 1986 at the age of four. His first wrestling memory was Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event talking about getting King Kong Bundy in a cage at WrestleMania 2. Sixteen years later, he met Hulk Hogan on the eve of WrestleMania X-8. On December 9, 2013, he legitimately won a Slammy Award (Best Crowd of the Year).

I didn't know about this change in commentary… Not too pleased at all! I hope this does mean Matt's going to RAW, and isn't about to suffer the same fate as Todd Grisham…
When I first heard the rumours about Booker going to Smackdown, I kind of assumed that Striker would remain with Josh Matthews… and Cole would just stick to RAW. That's quite a surprise, because this means we're stuck with losing a guy who IS excellent on commentary in Striker. If he does move to RAW, like you, I can deal with that. It seems kind of pointless to not just remove Cole from the Blue Brand.

Rich beat me to it! The concept is great, and I certainly look forward to more of these.
I'll say it. Matt Striker adds to the match, while Booker will detract from it. Sure, both "Black Snow" and his usual persona may be funny to some people, but Booker as a commentator will do nothing but distract from the action and put himself over at the expense of the match. I adore Matt Striker, and find him the best announcer going. What the E's problem with him is, I have no idea.

Yeah I agree, great premise for a segment!
