Matt Striker talks about working for Vince McMahon, having his time cut at WWE WrestleMania 23

Matt Striker recently did an interview exclusively for WrestlingNews.co where he talked about MLW One Shot (airs on 12/7 live on Fite from Queens, NY), his time in Impact, WWE and more. Scroll down for the entire interview.

Steve Fall asked Striker what he’s learned from Vince McMahon:

"I think a lot of things I learned from Vince's relationship, I bring forward with me now to MLW, especially because Vince was constantly in my ear as an announcer and a lot of his mantras, his thought process, a lot of where his intent is embedded in my mind. Now I sit next to Joe Dombrowski, who I think for my money is pound for pound the best play-by-play guy out there, and I can sit next to him and I can almost hear Vince in my ear saying, 'Good stuff Joe. Dammit, that was good.' When my broadcast partner is doing the things that I know are inherently, at least correct in the mind of arguably the greatest promoter of all time, it goes back to the fact that the relationship. I paid attention to the few times he dropped his pearls of wisdom. Most of the time he’s just a jovial guy. You got to remember he's Vince McMahon. No one is ever going to be themselves around him, and it was the same thing that guys like John Cena, with The Undertaker. I always felt like I was never a threat. I'm not a threat to your job. I'm not a threat to beat you up. I'm just a dude that's around and I felt that they kind of maybe showed a softer side of themselves, Vince especially."
