Howard Finkel passes away

[NOSaintsFan02]

His most underrated "And NEWWWW" was when Kane beat Austin at KOTR '98 in the First Blood match.

The dramatic pause + Austin and the crowd's shocked and sudden realization that the Austin era was over (obv Austin would win it back the next day but no one knew at the time) was epic.

Gonna ask Jesus if The Fink can introduce me walking through the gates when I make it to heaven

Booker was holding the Fink down on commentary, it was those other two suckas.

You can tell the Fink loved everyone back who was rockin' with him.

Yeah you're right. Just watched the broadcast one again and Book was showing him love. I guess I just remember them all laughing but it was mainly stupid ass Cole and King with the disrespect.

Saw on wiki that Fink was announcing house shows after they took Raw and SmackDown from him. He really loved the business.

Used to try to mimic Howard's voice as a kid

Dude obviously put so much effort and passion into every word he said when announcing names.

Such a legend
