 Result: The concerns raised by the original commenter have been addressed, and since no new issues have been brought up since then, this article can be kept.Challenger.rebecca (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

This article is written like an autobiography. It is an extensive document with heaps of redundant, irrelevant, repeated information. Many of the sources are unreliable and biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorrybutnope (talk • contribs) 
I don't mind working a bit and improving this article. Its quality has definitely decreased throughout the years. I've already done a little cleanup. I'll work a bit more on it in the next few days. In the meantime, please list any specific concerns for me to address. Nikki♥311  01:24, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
I've fixed the issues initially brought up. As previously mentioned, I'll be happy to address additional concerns. Nikki♥311  23:16, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Striker debuted in  late 1999- early 2000. It should be corrected.

i added the bit about striker bein in the king of the ring commercial but i didnt think they way i wrote it was very good and thought hopefully someone will change it and like 3 days later someone finally didDon.-.J 16:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I was watching Bad Blood 2004, and on the video before the match Between Eugene and Coach it shows Eugene playing with the thing that controls the pyro and stuff and i think its Matt Striker who was the person controling it. Don.-.J 13:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

lol, well if its true its kinda wierd but whatever i dont think it need to be in the article --- Paulley

Striker has only used the Outward Rolling Cutter to finish one person on a televised match. Should it really be listed as a finisher already? --ProtoWolf 22:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
And more than a year later, he still hasn't done it again, so I removed it. I also removed the neckbreaker into DDT, because he also only did that once. As of this writing, he's never settled on a new finisher after dropping the Golden Rule. 69.23.151.9 (talk) 00:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

These are the same 2 people. Why arn't there entries combined??? --Endlessdan 14:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Because they aren't the same person. -  Deep   Shadow  16:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
they are not the same 2 guys enlarge the photo of Matt Stryker and compare that with the Matt Striker we knoe NOT the same person  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftse2007 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC) 

This article was automatically  assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 23:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I can provide a source for WWE and Matt Striker's claims that he is a disgraced former Social Studies teacher, just so it doesn't seem like kayfabe to those watching.

I've added it, since it's been 4/5 months and no-one else seems to have bothered. Thanks for the info. NiciVampireHeart (talk) 15:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

sadly this is no more! Due to his stint as ECW colour analyst! Adster95 (talk) 18:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Who supports a move to Matt Striker? Mrpengo88 (talk) 05:04, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I came here to suggest that myself. That already redirects here, and he has been a wrestler/manager/referee in WWE for several years under the name. TJ Spyke 16:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

PPictures were leeaked of Kaye, that were taken on his phone and sent to either a ex-girlfriend or wife in a fued with him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.73.77.216 (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Reviewer: –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.
Disambiguations: None found
Linkrot: Ref #52 [1] is dead.

Archived version used. WWE updated their website, and it seems the page was removed in the process. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


### Checking against GA criteria
GA review (see here for criteria)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
Teaching career: much of the information about his teaching career is repeated in the following section, Early career (2000–2005)
Removed most of it. I've left some in, in a shortened form, so it's easier to see how the two careers correspond and interlink. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Now we have While working full-time as a teacher in 2004, he continued to wrestle during his vacation time and weekends, and using sick days, and on December 16, 2004, Striker began a tour of Japan with Pro Wrestling Zero1, and was later invited back for an extended tour in early 2005. which is a sentence combining two different subjects. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Separated into 2 sentences. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
After 12 episodes, Striker announced an end to the segment citing time issues in regards to his duties as an announcer. Could this be reworked for clarity and grammar? Y
Reworded. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
Ref #52 is dead This has been replaced with an archived version but the statement The segment ended after 12 episodes, with Striker citing a lack of time due to his new commentary position. does not appear to be supported here. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
I've removed the sentence. I can't find anything to support it on the 'net at this moment in time. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Personal life: Is there no information available about place of birth, college, relationships, children, etc?
I've haven't been able to find any. He rarely does interviews, and if he does they tend to be very kayfabe and WWE-orientated. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Hmmmm, that is a pity. But I guess if there is nothing available, we will have to leave that. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
Just a few issues as noted above. On hold for seven days.
Comments above. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 02:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Responded. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Since Jez hasn't edited in a while, I'll read this over tonight, and if I find no further issues I'll pass it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I see no further issues, so I'm passing the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 23:07, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
I'd almost forgotten about this. Thanks so much for stepping in to finish the review Wizardman. Much appreciated. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

There is a discrepancy in the personal life here, and the "Notable faculty" at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_N._Cardozo_High_School#Notable_faculty
The latter states Kaye "was fired from his job at Benjamin Cardozo after using sick time to work as a professional wrestler." (ref: # Saulny, Susan. "Truant Teacher Who Lost Job Finds His Revenge in the Ring", The New York Times, August 12, 2005. Accessed May 22, 2017. "Mr. Kaye, a former social studies teacher at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens, lost his job after he was caught taking sick time to go on a pro wrestling tour. Now, he says, he has signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, which produces televised wrestling shows.")
However, the former (this article) states he "wrestled part-time during his vacation time and on weekends." Musicalfoodie (talk) 06:06, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
