Last night's pre-show video tribute to the late Angelo Savoldi caught my attention, because Vince himself narrated the eulogy package. Classy move, and it got me thinking - of all the tribute videos of this nature they've done or opening memorial shots, which others - if any - have Vince personally done the narration for? Most of the time it's either that a nameless announcer, or Finkel. Interested to see who all McMahon made sure he set aside his schedule to do the honors personally.

He personally did the tribute for Randy Savage, Gorilla Monsoon, and Chief Jay Strongbow. There was the time he did one for Chris Benoit but a hour within the show, the truth came out and egg was on his face.

Owen and Gorilla are the only ones I remember Vince actually giving voice to their tribute videos. He said some words at the top of Guerrero's 1st tribute show. I'm rather stunned, though, as I wander through Youtube, that none of the "original" WWF folks got the same treatment. He didn't do Strongbow's or Moolah's, they were done by their promo voiceover guys of the time. Or Blassie's, which featured audio of Freddie, and Evanescence's My Immortal; though, like Savage's Coldplay promo, that shows Vince's respect, in that I'm certain he had to pay some good money to use that song. But then, Gorilla maybe more than anyone else was a key person for him in WWF event operations. I can't find Skaaland's tribute, one of the only other people I could see him tributing personally. .........oh yeah, he did memorialize Chris Benoit, though.  |

Most of the time it's either that a nameless announcer, or Finkel. Finkel? Other than the opening comments of Raw is Owen for the 10-bell salute, or old audio of him at the beginning of Andre's tribute, I never knew he did any voiceovers for tributes..... |

I believe he did Owen Hart's on Raw Is Owen He did indeed. Funny thing was, there were people who criticized his and Monsoon's being similar, notably the "if a man's life is measured..." line. Yes, there were/are nitpickers regarding Raw is Owen. Surprising, but not surprising. Probably too busy yelling at Steph to assure him that Aurora wasn't Randy's...(ducking)... |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Vince also voiceover the Ray Stevens and Dick Murdoch packages as well? I vaguely recall Vince doing the ones for the rare 90s deaths when he was lead broadcaster.
Also, didn't Vince voiceover the Lord Alfred Hayes tribute video?
EDIT: There was no voiceover for Lord Alfred Hayes BUT the audio clips that were heard were Vince's voice.
