35 Years Of WWE WrestleMania Mistakes

26. WrestleMania X - The Fink's Toupee

WWE

After the disastrous WrestleMania IX, the tenth annual show righted a lot of wrongs. The show kicked off with one of the best openers in the history of the event, before peaking courtesy of the sensational ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon.

The intercontinental title clash was a hair-raising experience for a mesmerised audience. Elsewhere on the show, ring announcer Howard Finkel had one of his own, as the company seemed determined to embarrass him nationally on a yearly basis.

Partway through the show, president and purveyor of the Hair Club for Men Sy Sperling emerged at ringside to announce his latest client: none other than 'The Fink'. Sadly, Finkel just showing off his unconvincing rug wasn't the end of the episode, as Harvey Wippleman appeared to criticise the hairpiece, eventually leading to an ill-conceived tuxedo match on Monday Night Raw. By then however, the rug had already been pulled out from above Finkel's forehead.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
