Josh Mathews, who drew the ire of many in the business for referring to himself as “the greatest play-by-play announcer in the world” recently, has been having a social media meltdown. Over the past day, Mathews has been arguing with the likes of Jeremy Borash, Tony Schiavone and Shark Boy.
Josh Mathews vs. Tony Schiavone & Jeremy Borash
Big meeting about to happen. I think it's about my Hall of Fame Induction.

Tony was always in Minor League Baseball, appropriate b/c he was always in Minor League Wrestling. #WhereTheLittleBoysPlay https://t.co/QU6n5dqSlD

Josh Mathews vs. Shark Boy
Shark Boy is less than impressed with Matthews, and has made no secret of this on Twitter. Matthews responded, and the results have been kind of hilarious.
Better than Gordon Solie? Better than Tony Schiavone? Give me a break, @realjoshmathews! You couldn't carry either of their mic cables.

Guy named @SharkBoyNet (unverified) is obsessed with me. Send a self addressed & stamped envelope to the office, I'll send an 8×10, kid.

TNA board meeting:
Treasurer: It's good to have @DonWestDeals back in the fold. Revenue is up 400?!
Creative: Yeah, but we still have Josh

Just found out @IMPACTWRESTLING was fined heavily by the FCC last week for showing an asshole on screen. pic.twitter.com/oBDK790eiN

Most people wouldn't piss on @realjoshmathews if he was on fire… But I would be REALLY tempted.

Finally it seems that Josh Matthews is retiring from social media:
I'm taking my talents off Social Media. This space is filled with jaded trolls. So, I'm officially quitting it. Effective immediately.

Update: He’s back.
I'm back. Due to my negotiations to call #mayweathermcgregor (my call would be the only way this is a "Super Fight" anyway) I'll stay on!

Who (along with me) is on your Pro Wrestling Play-by-Play Announcer Mount Rushmore?

I've never heard one complaint since I took over. It's been glowing reviews. 5 or sometimes 6 stars. #Shoot https://t.co/AsTdXeX9vx
