WWE Legend Howard Finkel Had One Touching Hospital Wish
Tommy Dreamer shared a photo of the announcer's main medical request...
Tommy Dreamer shared a pic on Twitter of him visiting Howard Finkel in hospital. Later, his friend Matt Camp pointed something out in the background behind both men.
The iconic WWE ring announcer, who sadly passed away aged 69 this week, had left a note for staff that showed his love of pro wrestling was strong until the end. Here's what 'Fink' asked his nurses to remember...
"Please put channel 43 on at 8pm on Monday nights. Wrestling is on. Thanks!".
Finkel scribbled a smiling face next to his request too. Dreamer pointed out that his declining health meant he couldn't even operate the TV's remote control or use his phone - so, Howard used some of his remaining strength to write the note and ask staff to make sure that Monday Night Raw was on the box every week.
That would bring tears to a glass eye.
Dreamer noted in his tweet that Finkel was WWE's "#1 employee till the end". It's hard to argue with that when seeing his hospital wish. The legendary announcer, famous for his rich delivery and synonymous with announcing "Neeeeeeeeeeeew" champions, wouldn't miss his wrestling fix for the world.
