Can probably blame Cole for that since he's the one teaching all of WWE's commentators or at least all the lead commentators which is why they all sound the same these days.

Problem with Striker's style is it can get irritating very quickly if he doesn't mesh with the product or the other person in the booth. That's why his brief time in NJPW ended up being really bad while his time in Lucha Underground ended up being great.
In WWE, he was like the proto-Mauro on RAW but without any of the charm mainly because of Cole & Lawler working against him the whole time he was in RAW's booth.
