First off, what happened to the Fink ? Did he retire ? Also, do you find that special emphises of matches missing ? I liked it when the annouced matches as "The Opening Bout", "The Special Attraction" "The Match We Have All Been Waiting For" or "The Main Event of the Evening." Now every match is just the "following contest." Even the wrestlemania main events are just "the following contest."

For the main event at WM I think Finkle used to say
"The following contest is the MAIN EVENT for Wrestlemania _ and is schedueld for one fall"

I vaguely remember back in the Wrestling Challenge/Superstars days they had a female announcer. I guess she was the prototype for Lillian Garcia. Anyone remember her name?

the Fink was one of the "Lifetime" employees that Vince Sr. made his son guarantee would have a job till they quit or pass on. Fink works house shows sometimes, as well as some PPVs.

Fink is the greatest announcer ever, I wish he was on now. I think someone said it here, but he could make paint dry sound interesting.
Fink: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight, we have a special attraction. May I direct your attention to the wall near the popcorn stand, as toinght we have the colour blue drying on the wall.
And the fans start to go nuts.
