First met Howard Finkel in 1993 when I started working with @WWE.
Always the most helpful and genuine friend to everyone he came in contact with. My favorite day with Howard was when he and I attended a Cleveland Browns, New York Jets game together. Miss you, Fink! RIP pic.twitter.com/z5PP9MeEEJ— Jerry Lawler (@JerryLawler) April 16, 2020

One of my fav things in wrestling was his extended pause when he’d say “Ladies & Gentlemen I’ve just been informed… (eyeroll) the “Genius”… has a poem for us all.” Truly the best at what he did, genuinely nice/hilarious and no one better to talk Mets with. #RIPFink #Legend https://t.co/XBsErEFne6

On the heels of the mass releases from yesterday, to now learn we have lost the G.O.A.T. of ring announcer’s, The Fink.
Howard will be sorely missed, but, always remembered, because he was simply the BEST! RIP Howard.— Michael PS Hayes (@MichaelPSHayes1) April 16, 2020

Fink was not only an indelible part of my childhood but he couldn’t have been sweeter to me any time I saw him backstage. I’m grateful to have known him.

Howard Finkel was a staple of my childhood. The voice we all grew up with. I first met Howard backstage at WrestleMania 33. I walked up and as I said "Hello, sir" and went to introduce myself, he burst out "HELLO, JOHNNY!" I couldn't believe he knew MY name! #RIPFink

Every wrestling fan at some point envisions themselves making an entrance at WrestleMania. I have done it almost everyday of my life, and The Fink is the only voice I hear saying my name in my head.
