What's the crack with this doot doot doot-ing? I'm missing the joke

It's an ongoing thing from Something to Wrestle With.

Michael is him referring to himself in third person.

The Mike he misses is Hawk.

It's from Bruce Prichard's podcast 

Edge and Christian have talked about Hayes doing that too, but they focus more on Hayes always saying "here we go."

Dave on C*ss's firing from reddit (tl;dr he blew off a production meeting, beat up a little person on tv, and was an all-around shithead):

Quote

McMahon fired Big Cass at a meeting in Toledo prior to Smackdown. The reasons given were the 5/1 incident, as well as blowing off a rehearsal for a promo that Kevin Dunn has asked for and then going long on the live version of that promo. There was a lot of heat regarding the promo that Vince McMahon hated, and he fired the writer of it a few weeks ago. There was also an incident that happened on the European tour where he locked himself in the tour bus bathroom and then destroyed the bathroom and broke down the door when he couldn't get out, because the lock malfunctioned and he believed he was being pranked. Because the door was knocked down, it meant the other wrestlers could not use the bathroom the rest of the trip in privacy, not to mention the damages it caused. There were said to be other issues regarding his behavior on the European tour. He also had enemies from years back from vociferously defending The Donald while in an argument with Sami Zayn about treatment of Muslims that ruffled many people's feathers, although had nothing to do with his being fired.

There was also negativity from other producers that dated back to the feeling that the Big Show vs. Big Cass feud, which took place before his knee injury, didn't go well and he took the brunt of the blame. There was also negativity of his work in the recent Bryan feud, but not performing up to par was also not the reason for someone to get fired in the manner that he did. We were also told the 5/1 incident was not the key incident in him getting fired, as the reaction to that was going to be done by changing his storyline, which would mean the two submission losses. What is notable is that a lot of independent promoters are already looking at reuniting Enzo (Eric Arndt), now calling himself Real 1, & Cass, who won't be able to use that name going forward. However, the two had a major real-life falling out but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't work together for the right price.

For me...and it's unpopular now more than ever, but...I just don't "get" Johnny Gargano.

It's hard- I recognize how talented he is and how good he is when I see him wrestle...but I hear so many people who's opinions I respect saying he has top face of the company potential, he's the next Daniel Bryan, he's the next great babyface in pro wrestling to lead the sport to a new boom period...and for the life of me, I just don't see it in Gargano and it drives me crazy thinking of what I'm missing here. I mean, the guy's good, but not THAT GOOD.

Glad it's not just me.

Feel like I heard all the same things thrown around towards Sami Zayn before and never got that either, feel he ended up a better heel anyway.

Honestly, everyone here can probably name someone that everyone else loves, but that we just don't "get".  For me, it's Toshiaki Kawada.  Hey, if you can't work a great match without kicking the shit out of your opponent, then you can't work a great match.  (Come at me, bro.)

Lance? Lance Storm? Is that you?! 17 years is a long time for an argument to resurface, dude.
