10 Iconic Wrestling Personalities Even The Haters Love

6. Howard Finkel

Howard Finkel went down in history as one of the longest-serving employees in WWE, having been a part of the company for over forty years, debuting with them back during their time as the WWWF. His legacy is intrinsically tied to the company's history, and the history of Madison Square Garden itself. For that, not a single hater can take shots at him.

The impact this man had on ring announcing is irrefutable, as his infectious voice was one that many still recall alongside their fondest memories. He even forever altered the style, as to this day when a title changes hands, the talent who announces it uses his classic emphasis on the word new. Many young fans aren't even conscious about how the legacy of Finkel lives on in small motifs like that.

As with many of the other figures on this list, there is very little negativity spread about the man. His evident loyalty to the company and passion for his job made him incredibly admirable, and this clearly translated in his backstage reputation. The wrestling world was distraught after his death in 2020, but he will always be remembered as the voice of the company.
