Probably to seem more exciting to the WWE Universe.

No, I seem to remember Striker doing that for a while. He may be dumbing down -- others have noticed that -- but I think his "OHHHH!" is just a way of genuinely putting over the spot. I hope he never changes his announcing style, though. One thing that has changed about him, and I hate this -- he has switched from being pro-CM Punk to anti-CM Punk. Why?
I'm glad Josh Mathews is getting work, also. I found it funny how he got to appear at WrestleMania XXVI and yet Todd Grisham did not. If Jerry Lawler quit his job tomorrow, I'd have no problem with Josh Mathews becoming the new color guy on RAW. That would be an interesting full-time arrangement.
