With that being said, &#8220;The Mouth&#8221; is simply dumbfounded as to why Full Tilt wouldn\u2019t renew a contract with him because obviously he still has what it takes to make them money.<\/p>\n<p>Matusow expressed his extreme annoyance about FTP signing Viktor Blom, Gus Hansen, and Tom Dwan after they reopened. He stated, \u201cYou know, I was hoping to catch back on with Full Tilt. But they don\u2019t want me, it looks like.\u201d He added, \u201cI don\u2019t know why &#8211; I\u2019m a walking billboard. It\u2019s crazy, I walk around here and everybody knows who I am. Everybody wants pics and autographs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matusow is a confident player and fully believes he is being overlooked. He said \u201cWhy anybody wouldn\u2019t want me to represent them is beyond me. But they wanna have these internet kids with no personalities and nobody even knows who they are. Hey I\u2019m not gonna beg somebody to make them money. I know what I bring to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He even pulls out some low blows by saying that Blom and Hansen were \u201cstone degenerates who go in and out of money every week.\u201d Of course, this may just have been the tampons talking that were in his fanny pack. It\u2019s unfortunate that Matusow has become a bitter menopausal over the situation; but hopefully he will catch the eye of another well known online poker room and have more success with them after the NBC victory.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZIAfZBKT5MA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With his fanny pack and big attitude, Mike Matusow recently did an interview about his lack of a Full Tilt Poker contract.
