6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Raw 25

Ups...

6. Fink!

Of all the nods to the past WWE dropped Monday night, none could be more welcome to longtime fans than something they heard rather than saw.

As The Undertaker made his rather ordinary entrance at the Manhattan Center, we heard Howard Finkel announce his arrival. For decades, “The Fink” was the voice of WWF/E. If you watched WrestleMania, you heard him. If you watched older PPVs and TV shows, you heard him. And if you’ve ever seen classic clips of title changes, you heard him announce the “nnnneeeeewwww!” champion.

It was a surprisingly subtle moment with Finkel introducing the Undertaker, but it was a nice little touch.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
