Howard Finkel's Cageside Evaluation

What you loved:

1. Voice - The voice of your childhood and for WWE. He had a booming tone with a spot-on delivery for every wrestler he announced.
2. Classic Line - "Winner of the match and neeewwwww..."
3. Announced CM Punk - At Survivor Series in 2011, before taking on Alberto Del Rio, CM Punk decided to bring out his own personal announcer.
   
4. Knowledge - Has been in the business for almost 40 years, and is considered Vince McMahon's first hire.
5. Best Ever - See best comment.

Best comment comes via thejasten:

"The GOAT."

What you loathed:

1. Storyline - Anything he did outside of announcing was bad.
   
2. Not Announcing - Even though he still has "it" we don't get to hear him much these days.
3. Lillian Feud - The Fink actually had an "evening gown vs. tuxedo" match with her. No, thanks.
4. Tuxedo Match - Howard Finkel vs. Harvey Wipplemen trying to rip each others clothes off. Mull that one over for a bit.

"Howard loves playing softball and would sometimes come into Team Smackdown’s office in his full uniform to pester us about joining the team."

Thanks, Cagesiders! Tomorrow's pick probably loved Kool-Aid.

Until then!
