TNA announcer blasts WWE hypocrisy after Samoa Joe debut, Slammiversary, more

Former WWE commentator Josh Mathews

- TNA announcer Josh Mathews took issue with WWE "hypocrisy" following Samoa Joe's debut on NXT. Mathews, who was a former WWE employee, worked as a backstage reporter and also was a part of the ringside announcement team. Owing to the budget cut problems WWE had last year, he was one of the key figures who WWE released on June 25, 2014.

After his departure, he was hired by TNA where he has been working as a lead announcer. This is what he wrote:

 

How did the @WWENXT announcers know who @SamoaJoe was if we are #obscurity in their world? Sick of hypocrisy.
