[Love Sosa]

RIP

Probably the reason Vince fukks with him. Mad he didn't come up with the name himself.

 

[ADK]

Didn’t grow up with him as my announcer but when I’d watch older clips he had the greatest voice of them all

rip

Forgot it until Stephanie McMahon-Helmlsey pointed it out in her RIP tweet. Fink was the first employee of WWWF, hired way back in 1975. 45 years working for the McMahons. Fink must've had the patience of a saint. At least with pandemic, Vinnie Mac won't get the chance to troll him one last time at his memorial service.

R.I.P. to the GOAT

Respect Punk for this entrance request

Also another reason it’s forever fukk Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler

Can we do a 2-for-1 trade and bring the Fink back and send those 2 useless clowns into the afterlife instead? Please?

 

[Rack4K]

I knew I heard this before but I totally forgot he came up with the name Wrestlemania.

RIP Fink, the greatest of all time

 

[Apollo Creed]

DAMN

 

[GOATpernick]

Called quite literally all of the greatest title wins in WWF history

Everything but Backlash 2000. Fink’s voice with that pop that night would have been something

“The winner of this match...AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[No Ma’am]

They will edit out the commentary in the future. Disgraceful behavior but still didn't ruin the moment, the fans who know, know the Fink is a legend and the commentary has been garbage for at least a century or two now.

R.I.P to the Fink

 

[DAH Padre]

RIP to the GOAT announcer, and first employee. Fink was the voice of the WWE as far as I’m concerned. “AND NEEWWW WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION........”

 

[Nero Christ]

yall have already said basically everything there is to say about the GOAT ring announcer

but the chills you'd get when the promo package was done, the bell was rang, and you'd hear "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship"

got damn everyday my youth disappears just a lil bit more

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

One of the main signs Vince was losing it was taking him off announcing so early for no good reason, he had plenty more to give.

Thanks to him Vince will always have the word ''wrestle'' somewhere in his company though

 

[DANJ!]

Ah man... the Fink called all the classics.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

 

[hazardous]

Damn this hit right in the gut.

RIP.
