10 Ways WWE Can Make Network-Aired House Shows More Special
10. Howard Finkel
One key thing that WWE could very easily do (especially in Madison Square Garden) is have longtime (and legendary) ring announcer Howard Finkel announce the entire "special WWE Network event." Finkel's presence is usually only reserved for WrestleMania, but imagine the special feeling that Finkel could provide for say, Saturday night's WWE US Champion versus WWE World Champion cage match, or even better an "opponents already in the ring" introduction for the Big Show versus Brock Lesnar tilt. WWE needs to remember just how many bells and whistles they have on the roster and use them to their best advantage when possible. As the company moves into its future where all things are possible insofar as WWE branded content, pulling a page from history and having Finkel call the entire show would give the presentation an added boost of something more.
