www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNg8nlxY9gUi know there were a few threads about this a while back, but its just struck me again, watching that video. the way he shouts "the undertaker" is art. chimel and lilian have got nothing on him. but the reason im making a thread on this is because in one of the old ones, im sure someone said that he works as a ring agent or something. can anyone confirm or deny this, because i really miss howard.

I miss the Fink--his announcing was very unique and always exciting (specifically his announcing of the Rumble rules and his announcing of "NEEEEEEEEWWWW" champions after title matches). I think I miss him even more so because Lillian sucks and Chimmel is just kind of mediocre (although he is definitely growing on me).

I want him to announce Taker and Batista to the ring.
"IT IS NOW TIME FOR OUR WRESTLEMANIA MAAAAAAAAAIN EVENT!"

Slightly off topic, but Mike McGuirk was a hundred times better than Lillian at announcing.

The Fink is still around. He works behind the scenes. I remember someone (I'm thinking JR) that Fink had an amazing memory so he was used as a chief statistician and maybe a researcher too. He still announces the occasional House show here and there, or at least he used to.

Such odd trivia as this is usually referred to from people in the business as a "Finkel Fact". I loved it when he did his impression of the Ultimate Warrior.

Ok someone pay off Lillian so that the Fink has to come back when she quits.
