Howard Finkel (1950-2020) - 5 Things you need to know about his iconic WWE career

#3 Howard had his own WrestleMania moment

For years, Howard Finkel was the butt of abuse and jokes from Harvey Wippleman, the heel manager of Stars such as Adam Bomb, Kamala and The Giant Gonzalez during the early-to-mid-1990s.

Wippleman, the bully he was, objected to Howard's ring announcing style and pretty much everything about him, often proclaiming "you take that sarcastic tone out of your voice or I'll knock you out!" The two, clearly, did not care much for one another.

Things well and truly came to a head at, you guessed it, Madison Square Garden in 1994 at WrestleMania 10. After Howard, finally having had enough, shoved Wippleman on his backside in the ring, the manager's henchman Adam Bomb set about The Fink and cornered him. That led to Earthquake coming down to the ring to defend Howard, defeating Bomb in a swift match that lasted barely a minute, with Finkel no doubt standing at ringside with a wry smile on his face.

It was Howard's WrestleMania moment.
