Fink made a great heel. I saw some of his USWA stuff from 1992, what you saw on WWF programming was a mild mannered ring announcer, but in the USWA, you saw probably one of the best heels ever.
@strstrallstr Tony or Justin roberts is not even in the Fink league fink is a freaking legendary when it comes to announcing The only person that come close to him is Lilian Garcia.
Finkel was one of the great sports announcers. He could have easily landed in boxing or another similar sport. He's been badly under utilized of late. He really had the signature voice of the squared circle, very distinctive and professional. All-timer
i hate how they take good people like the fink and earl hebner who were great at doing there job and ruin there career by doing stuff like this. every scince 1997 at the time of the montreal screwjob the wwe has been getting worse and worse. why cant it be like the good old days where there way a storyline but the main focus was the wrestling
@HORNSWAGGLE123 Say what? Have you forgotten the Tuxedo Match between Fink and Harvey Wippleman from 1994 or 1995 which saw Fink get stripped down to his tight red undies?
@Zipperman2000 There was nothing wrong with the tuxedo match. It times like the montreal screwjob, who was blamed for that? Earl Hebner. All he was doing was his job and he got the blame. I don't see how that works
I miss Howard Finkle announcing the Big 4 PPVS (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor Series) I mean, the man's announcing brought somewhat class to those ppv's. But NOW, all we get is him announcing the Legends segment of Wrestlmania each year! Come on fink, replace Justin Roberts!! We miss you:)
&& No, Let Fink do Raw, Roberts do ECW, & Chimel on Smackdown. :)
YEAH IT'S TRUE!! NO ONE ANNOUNCER IN THE WORLD CAN SAY "And The New WWF CHAMPION" or "The Undertaker" BETTER THAN HOWARD FINKEL....he's number one in announcing and LONGEST PAYED EMPLOYEE in WWE!!! FINK 4 EVER!!!
This Jerico reminds me more of his WCW days, from the hair alone. I also like him better like this. When he was with Ralfus was the best! Fink is the man
I know Finkel is the LEGEND announcer, maybe better than this guy who announces boxing matches all the times, whats his name again. He also announced the rumble in 08, forgot his name.
but this aint the way to fucking handle the situation. nice chimel, dont let him beat your ass.
Howard Finkel, a.k.a. The Fink, was the best WWF-WWE announcer. He´s now in the WWE´s Hall of Fame and I heard he´s writtin´ a book about his life as a wrestling announcer.
If WWE did something like this today then everyone would cry out that it was "stupid." Because fans won't ever accept anything new and they're stuck to the past. A good example being when WWE had HHH break into Randy Orton's house and beat him up and tossed him out the window and got arrested. So many people called it stupid yet the WWF did the EXACT SAME THING with Austin and Pillman where Pillman actually brought out a GUN and people look at that as if it was so awesome. They're biased.
I have no idea? I ask myself the same question. I liked Tony Chimel on Smackdown. Especially when he called "The Undertaker"!!!! He has an amazing voice! That guy that's the anouncer on Smackdown, he should go back to ECW. And bring back Chimel to Smackdown.
You do? Wow, that's awesome! Hey, can ask Tony Chimel why he's in ECW? And can you also ask him, if he can come back to Smackdown? Tell him he has a lof of fans that want him back on Smackdown. He's the original voice of Smackdown. Thanks!
yeah. I know its a long shot and not sasying I'm great card player or anything but if and when I win the world series of poker, I want Howard to announce when I win. He just has the voice. I put him right up there with Bob Shepard, the voice of the Yankees.
I will never know how or why Tony Chimel has a job as ring announcer when he does horrendously at it. I can't stand the guy's voice. There will never be another ring announcer who does the job as well as Finkel. I don't care what anyone says. Finkel was exceptional when it came to introducing wrestlers and it will never be the same without him. I think Lilian Garcia is eye candy for str8 men which is why she's there. Justin Roberts on SD does a great job introducing Taker but Finkel is the best
god, when you look at this it shows you how much better Jericho actually used to look compared to how he looks right now. He really needs to grow his hair back and put on some damn tights again.
ROFLMFAO! Pure ownage on your part. Nice! Hahaha! Agreed! Sweet that you got to go to Unforgiven though. Be nice if Jericho looked at least halfway decent when you attended too.
we should have a ring annoucer battle royal, you know, howard finkle,tony chimel,justin roberts,lilian garcia,david penzer,bob artese,stephen deangelis,gary michael cappetta,micheal buffer,mike mcguirk, name a ring annoucer, put them in there.
