10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 33 Facts
9. It Was The First WrestleMania With No Live Appearance From Howard Finkel
Forget Undertaker's Streak - a mark that spanned the first 32 WrestleManias ended at the 33rd incarnation, with very little fanfare. Howard Finkel, the longest-tenured employee of WWE's, did not appear before the live crowd in Orlando. To that point, he was the only individual that had appeared at all 32 WrestleManias. Not even Vince McMahon is able to say that.
Finkel served as ring announcer for the first 20+ WrestleManias before settling into the special emcee spot for the Hall of Fame roll-call on WrestleMania night. This year, SmackDown's Greg Hamilton rattled off the names of the inductees, and quite a few viewers noticed something was off about that arrangement. It's unknown why Finkel didn't get the nod, unless it's just another case of WWE pushing him off to the side.
