I heard they may induct Finkle into the Hall of Fame this year He would be a great addition to the Hall Of Fame and more than deserves it. The Fink and Mean Gean were great together (doing backstage interviews when one was in the ring announcing the matches) and both should be in. It would be great if the brought The Fink back to announce the main event of Wrestlemaina every year.

It wasn't always solely for the title switches, for example:
"'The Rocket' Owen Hart, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart.... the NEEEEEEEEWWWWW Foundation!"
That was always hilarious to me.

Finkel is the best in the business. I want him to announce my wedding reception.
I LOVE the "The winner of this bout....and NEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW _______ Champion" line.

Howard Finkel is simply amazing as an announcer and deserves a spot in the WWF Hall of Fame.

Howard announced the Raw/ECW house show tonight at the Garden. He got quite the nice little hand from the "experienced" crowd...The guy still got it..."The following contest...scheduled for ONE-FALL...is for the IN-TER-CONTINENTAL.....CHAMPIONSHIP!"...awesome.

Not only Mania, but he should be brought in to announce the big four every year till he no longer physically/vocally can.

The YouTube clip reminded me of the RAW moment a week later where Finkel again ejected the announced, grabbed the cue cards and started to announce the next match thusly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall!"
*checks cue cards*
"Uh-oh."
*Shamrock's music hit*
Still one of my favorite Fink moments. But what was weird is I remember him trying a DIFFERENT Championship announcment. He did it for Savage's win at WM VIII and then when Flair got the belt back, he announced them as:
"The winner of the bout... and ONCE AGAIN... World Wrestling Federation Champion..."
Wasn't the same and I don't think he ever went off formula again save for those two occasions.

Lillian is good.
The Fink was a special breed though.
He is up with Buffer in boxing as the best.
Buffer calling a boxing card would bring the goosbumps.
the Fink would any time he would announce a NEW WWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
