I'd like to start with F*** Michael Cole. F*** Jerry Lawler.
If Ross was there, he would let the moment speak for themselves. This is why Cole is a joke and no one will take him seriously.
Sadly, this was Finkel's last on-air non Wrestlemania Hall of Fame inductees moment.
So this is how it ends for Finkel.
What a crock of s***.
Thank you Howard!

I hated how they dogged on him so much. It was a cool moment.

A lovely moment ruined by commentary.
As bland and boring as commentary is now, at least it isn’t this level. Terrible commentators shitting over what is happening, it literally couldn’t get worse.
Along the same line as this, I hated Cole shitting all over Wendi Richter and Cyndi Lauper’s reunion. Two legends (well, three once Piper showed up) and total disrespect beyond what a “heel” should be saying.

Nobody can touch Fink as a ring announcer, even though I do like Greg Hamilton.

Damn that was garbage. Props to Booker for playing up just how important Finkel was though.

A lovely moment ruined by Vince feeding him insults over the headphones. Fixed for probable truth. And now Fink has more than likely been silenced due to a major stroke and (I would absolutely hope) the WWE is footing the bill because, somewhere in their heads and (I would absolutely hope) hearts, there is finally guilt for all the crap they put him thru.

The Fink had a stroke?! That sucks. Hope he's doing well as he can be.

Vince didn't think twice about the cost to send Harley Race where he needed to be, before he passed. I'm sure he's helping Fink, in some way. Dude was a total sweetheart, when my brother and I met him. He told Fink about the SS11 memory, and he seemed to have fond memories of it.

I think Fink is a “job for life” guy. I don’t think he’s able to do much, believe he’s also in a wheelchair, but think he still goes to the office. I’m sure he’s taken care of.

Nobody can touch Fink as a ring announcer, even though I do like Greg Hamilton. The only one close as an in ring announcer would probably be Michael Buffer. Just something about the timber of their voice, The inflections says Yo, this is important.

If you're fan of him, here is Fink's WWF Debut back in 1976
And him and The Bushwakers in the 1990's

Fair play to Booker for reigning it all in.

We really missed out not having Fink doing the announcing the past 20+ years.

The fact that the company will likely show more respect to Lillian Garcia who’d probably botch her own name if she had to introduce herself yet disrespect the voice much of the fanbase grew up with is crazy to me.
