10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2010 Facts
9. Howard Finkel Publicly Ripped One Of The Ring Announcers' Blunders
Indisputable - Howard Finkel is the greatest ring announcer in wrestling history. Ask any fan of the eighties and nineties, and they'll tell you that when they daydream of themselves becoming WWE Champion at WrestleMania, they envision Fink's voice making the announcement. Nothing will ever top, "And....NEEEEEEEEEEW" for a call. Nothing.
That's why it was a bit baffling that Finkel took a backseat to some rather inferior announcers, some of which were Diva Search non-winners that found jobs later for "aesthetic" purposes. One of them was Savannah, aka Angela Fong, aka Lucha Underground's Black Lotus.
Savannah emceed on the ECW brand in its final months, and ended up getting released in June 2010. That wasn't before Finkel, during an online chat days after the Rumble, blistered her for her performance that night, in which she got Ezekiel Jackson's weight wrong (saying 209 pounds instead of 309), and forgetting to introduce him as the challenger. Said Finkel, "Folks, I might be a little tough on the announcers, but let's face it... You are on a WWE PPV, you DO NOT screw up."
