"The World Heavyweight Chimpion" At a live show he kept shilling us to watch "Friday Night Smickdown!" |

I think he's a pretty damn good announcer aside from when he kept calling The Rock "The Rook".

Chimel rules. I just wish he'd get more screen time to establish his character like the Fink but I guess sitting at the sidelines watching and announcing matches while getting paid to do so is awesome in itself.

Has he been in the WWE the whole time, or has he come and gone? I have to say I've never been fussed on Chimel at all. He's just kind of...there. Except when he embarrasingly squeeks "Rated R...SOOperstar." That's funny. Has he ever been involved in an angle? Even Fink, Roberts and Lilian had storylines, sometimes even big ones. He had a feud with Howard Finkle over who was to be Smackdown's announcer. It concluded in a Tuxedo match; WHY THE HELL HAS HOWARD FINKLE BEEN IN THREE TUXEDO MATCHES?!?!? |

Tony Chimel is a legend. I always enjoy going to shows and calling out his name throughout the show. He seems to really love his job, so good for him.
I rememeber being at a house show in 1997, it was only a few months before the whole Montreal screwjob. Anyways, Chimel walked around ringside with a pad and pen for close to half an hour asking fans for their input and suggestions. I thought that was really cool. Then, the night AFTER the Montreal screwjob, I was at the RAW show and right after the show ended, he walked straight to the back - I don't think it was the right time to ask people for their thoughts LOL
I've also heard reports that he's the head of the WWE ring crew?? Is that correct? If it's not him, I'm going to guess it's Mike Chioda....

In regards to the part with Tony Chimel and Howard Finkel, it was I believe in 1999, when Finkel became Jericho's lackey. Though I still cringe at that Tuxedo Match. *SHUDDER*
Anyway, does anybody remember that Tony Chimel was superkicked by Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XII?

WHY THE HELL IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A TUXEDO MATCH? Because dudes gotta tear clothes off, too. But why?! At least the bra-and-panties match appeals to men and feature some of the best-looking women in the world. But tuxedo matches with Fink and Chimel? What woman wants to see that? What woman gets in the mood by seeing Harvey Whippleman's pasty arse? |

More the humiliation than the actual visual gratification of Harvey's little Nether Void, I'd suspect. |

I prefer Chimel to Justin Roberts. I find Ricardo Rodriguez to be the best ring announcer in WWE since the Fink, which is kind of odd since he comes from a wrestling background and I don't think he did any kind of announcing until he was tapped to be Del Rio's personal ring announcer. If he didn't work so well as his current role, I wouldn't mind him being made a regular ring announcer.

Has he ever been involved in an angle? Even Fink, Roberts and Lilian had storylines, sometimes even big ones. Dancing with AJ* on NXT. I remember that because it was the first episode of NXT season 3, and she immediately grabbed him by the tie - not a good idea for NXT contestants! Striker called him the WWE's next breakout diva afterwards. * Giggity. |

The Chim is my favourite ring announcer outside of the Fink. I must prefer him to justin Roberts.
I wish the Fink could still announce though. Ideally I'd have The Chim on Raw, Roberts on Smackdown and The Fink do all PPVS, or at least he should call the Big 3 PPVS.

I didn't know he had been around that long either. Really surprised by that. He's a very good ring announcer though. Easily the best that WWE has ever had behind Howard Finkle.

The lack of love for Justin Roberts here is disturbing....
