Howard Finkel is one of the greatest PA announcers of any sport, ever

[jadillac]

PA announcer, ring announcer etc, he's one of the best ever and he's not been used consistently in years. Only time we see him in the ring is to announce the HOF inductees ONCE A YEAR at Mania.

Other than that he's relegated to silly stuff. It's cool to see him on the E&C show, but dude has a timeless gift that Vince is wasting.

I understand you want to build talent for the future, but damn this dude could at least get to work the big 4 PPV's.

Same with Jim Ross, but that's another thread...

That was definitely Vince feeding them lines through their headsets.

He lives for moments like those to humiliate his loyal employees.

He made characters matter more with just his voice alone on their entrance. Kinda like JR did on commentary.

Just my opinion, but I feel like he tries too hard. Or it seems that way to me.

Finks comes across as more natural.
