10 Things You Didn't Know About Howard Finkel
4. His Last On Air Announcement
While the 25th Anniversary of WWE RAW, which took place in early 2018, will be remembered for not meeting fan expectations, it is notable for being the last time Howard Finkel made his last announcement on WWE television.
Reserved for the much-hyped appearance of The Undertaker, The Fink’s familiar boom welcomed The Phenom into the Manhattan Centre. However, despite this being the last announcement Howard Finkel made for a match, it was a recording from before the event.
Hearing his voice introducing the arrival of The Deadman, and yet not seeing him in person was another reason why the anniversary edition of WWE’s A-show failed to meet expectations. There is reason for this though, by the time of the episode, Finkel’s health had been in sharp decline, and so, he was unable to attend the event.
