Frankie KazarianGUEST
Yep.

Disco InfernoHOST

Howard FinkelSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is WWE Hall of Famer, The Think, Howard Finkel, and you're listening to the Nerd Coalition.
Howard FinkelSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Welcome to No Image Needed.
Howard FinkelSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, I hear you CM Punk.
JT RozzeroHOST
Punk and Triple H in that awful match at Night of Champions, and then Triple H and Nash in that lumbering TLC debacle.
JT RozzeroHOST
Uh, but Punk does win it back in, in November and kicks off his, his epic reign with The Fink announcing him, so that's cool.
JT RozzeroHOST
Um, but I think it's kinda the last, like, big cash-in left on the board right now.
Marcus FullerGUEST
Yeah.
Ben VealHOST
Wow.
Kris PavoneGUEST
Um, and then, man, that was like, that was a Wednesday, and I think like Friday Howard Finkel did all the book- You know, he would, he's the one that would call you and tell you're booked on the road.
Kris PavoneGUEST
And I remember he called me, he's like, "Hello, Chris." He's like, "You are back on the road with The Miz." He's like, "Unfortunate for Matt, but good for you." And so it was kind of a weird thing, but at the same time I'm like, okay.
Kris PavoneGUEST
So The Miz and I were like, "Let, let, let's like give them no option but to call us up." So we went and got matching gear.
Andrew McGregorHOST
Now, with that being said, getting back to the match.
Andrew McGregorHOST
So Howard Finkel, God rest his soul, hands down one of the best ring announcers of all time.
Andrew McGregorHOST
After Honky Tonk Man is in the ring, Howard gets on the microphone and does his and his opponent.
Andrew McGregorHOST
And then all of a sudden, he throws his arms and shoulders up in the air because he doesn't know who the opponent's supposed to be.
Andrew McGregorHOST
And then Gorilla says on commentary, and the opponent is, come on, Howard.
Andrew McGregorHOST
Howard doesn't even know.
Andrew McGregorHOST
And then Billy Graham says, Howard Finkel, the announcer doesn't know.
Andrew McGregorHOST
Come on, brother.
Steve FallHOST
We are on the road to the war.
Steve FallHOST
Bobby Heenan took shots at Howard Finkel in commentary.
Steve FallHOST
Now we got Taker and Bearer and taking shots at Dusty Rhodes.
Steve FallHOST
Clearly, the WWF doesn't wanna get a lawsuit, but they are making sure that you understand that they're pointing at that picture of Dusty Rhodes, referencing that they made him leave.
Mike MillsHOST
"I am a 74-year-old former special ed teacher and retired minister and live in Connecticut, but I read the mag, I read the mags in the late '60s through the '70s.
Mike MillsHOST
Howard Finkel and I would trade them when we worked together at the New Haven Coliseum as ushers, and when cable arrived in '81, I was able to escape the crap the WWWF offered and see some good wrestling from other parts of the country.
Mike MillsHOST
So this is right up my nostalgia alley, including the-"
Hardbody HarperHOST
That's, that's awesome
George KapturHOST
ring.
George KapturHOST
The other thing that was cool was Howard Finkel was announcing.
George KapturHOST
Oh, the Fink, yeah.
Alt JakeHOST
If anybody of a certain age, there's always a tug at the heartstrings for the Fink.
Stevie RichardsHOST
I signed it, sent it back, and then they called me, gave me a flight, excuse me, plane tickets.
Stevie RichardsHOST
Howard Finkel, "Good news, Stevie, you're going to debut with WWF in Chicago." No, that's Vince.
Stevie RichardsHOST
But, uh, yeah, it was Chicago.
Stevie RichardsHOST
It was actually the same night that, that Jericho debuted with the Y2J countdown.
