Have WWE ever used Michael Buffer as an announcer?

[stormwrestling]

For those that don't know him (even though that's impossible!) This guy;



Just curious

[Mayonnaise]

Yup, Royal Rumble 2008 and the last SNME

[Deleted]

So thats where HHH got "Are you ready" from lol

[Above Average]

Royal Rumble 2008, much to my surprise.

I hope he comes back on Monday for the return of Bret "The Hitman" Clark.

[kennerado]

Didn't he botch a few things for WCW? I think I read that in death of WCW, any videos out there anyone know of?

Here's a video of Bret Clarke:



There's also a video somewhere where he announces the arrival of "Johnny C Badd" to the ring

Yes, back during the Monday Night Wars it was a subtle dig at WCW, who had Buffer under contract.

[kennerado]

There was another Bret botch where he didn't even say his last name he just said "Breeeeeeeet"

[Tyfo]

Him announcing Michaels as just "The Heartbreak Kid" at Royal Rumble was spectacular!

THE HEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRTBREAK KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

A heavyweight "eliminator" match? Do the wrestlers have to break through a padded wall to win the belt?

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Didn't they also use Buffer when Matt Hardy faught Holyfield on Smackdown during that feud with MVP.

Yes. His intro of MVP was hilarious.

[Sparvid]

I was a bit disappointed on the MSG crowd for not chanting "We want Finkel" or something similar...

No one, and I mean NO ONE, chants against Buffer. EVER! I marked like a little boy when Buffer was there and introducing both Taker and HBK.

The Heartbrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak KID!
