Yeah he's probably a capable wrestler, he's just been goofy announcer guy for so long that seeing him in, say, ROH would feel really weird to me.

It'll be even weirder because ROH had Matt Stryker on the roster one point.

I've watched Striker wrestle twice and he's really not bad. Unfortunately, he's not a big man and he's not terribly charismatic, so "not bad" isn't gonna cut it. And yes, he's done a bunch of parodies but the Strykbu one was done over a few shows. Also it's memorable to me because apparently during a promo he farted and his Sheik-like stablemate said "Well, Fox News did say we had acquired chemical weapons" or somesuch.

DM Punk posted:Striker should get on a WiF! (or any of the Wrestling Is companies) show and do a full blown teacher gimmick again. He could school the crowd about ants, insects, boars, frogs, etc. This sounds like a fun idea, actually.

Gonzo McFee posted:Colt Cabana is a pretty cool guy. And a very talented wrestler who doesn't act anywhere near as bitter as anybody is making him out to be. How is "I love that no company forces me to tweet poo poo" bitter? I'm glad he isn't forced to shill dumb products and doesn't have to answer for his tweets to anybody in particular because that stuff is painful to read.

Another case of people making GBS threads on a guy for having legit grievances. Dude's good at what he does and all three major companies in the US have not let him do that on some level. I'd be far more bitter than Colt in the same situation.

Also considering a big factor of what happened to him in WWE was based around casual antisemitism, why shouldn't he be mad?

I could have sworn that Val Venis being a Republican/Libertarian/Tea Partier/Truther/#AskQuestions kinda guy came up before, I think maybe during the 2008 election but not 100% sure.

Let's not forget that Val Venis was pretty awesome. Seriously choppy choppy my pee pee was something that had me legit worried for a week and his entrance music was among the best of all. His finisher was also pretty rockin. The Money Shot! Lol what a name. He used hit that splash pretty hard as well, especially for a bigger dude. Venis fan here.

Like others have said, he's been a "Libertarian" for a long time. I remember in his shoot video that he said all he read were political books (Think Sean Hannity and the like) and tried to supply an air of sophistication about his political beliefs, even though they weren't above "The government sucks and is here to rob us" type poo poo.
