10 Forgotten WWE Moments You Won't Believe Actually Happened

Primarily known for his unmistakable work on the microphone welcoming many a "neeeeew" world champion into the world, Howard "The Fink" Finkel has quite rightly gone down in history as one of the very best announcers ever to do it.

But there were actually a number of occasions over the years when the iconic voice found himself getting a little too close to the action. And perhaps the most easily forgotten of his few on-screen storylines involved the mighty Fink eventually donning a mask and going by the name of El Dopo.

That's right, whilst allying himself with a recently debuted Chris Jericho on WWE programming back in 1999, Fink suddenly wound up in a hilariously wacky scenario that involved him clashing with Y2J's then-rival Ken Shamrock under a luchador mask.

Sure enough, his time as a dodgy SmackDown referee was cut somewhat short after a brassed off Shamrock saw through Fink's incredible disguise and fake accent upon being wrongly DQ'd against Curtis Hughes on September 16.

Again, a great many fondly remember Fink's unmatched work on the stick during his 40-year stint with the company. But you'll struggle to find anyone who can honestly recall this rare sight of El Dopo doing Jericho's bidding on the blue show.
