i think he is. he can get me so hyped just with his name announcing, even with people i don't like john cena i find myself anticipating his arrival by just how awesome justin's announcing is
Michael Buffer pwns all. All. Even Finkel. Justin Roberts is a good announcer, certainly better than Chimel with his ridiculous overdoing of some of the names, but that's all.
Fink destroys Roberts in every single way imaginable. Buffer shouldn't even be in the conversation. His greatness is known world wide amongst a variety of different sport fans.
It may not do him any justice to be compared to any of the others, I'm just saying that he was a wrestling announcer, so he shouldn't be disqualified from the question just because he's so much better than everyone else. The question is greatest ring announcer of all time, not greatest ring announcer of all time...besides Michael Buffer. I understand your point that it's so blatantly obvious that he's the best that you want to give other guys some credit, but...yeah.
bro...it was the biggest smark city in the WORLD, undertaker could come to the ring without a theme song, lights, fog, and an announcer and he'd still get a pop in MSG.
There is no other person I want announcing than Howard Finkel. Just his voice alone gives me a nostalgia trip. The way he would set up or intro the match before it started is something that made the whole presentation seem more real and worth watching. "The following contest, scheduled for ONE FALL, is for... the WORLD... WRESTLING... FEDERATION... CHAM-PIYON-SHIP"

I think Howard Finkel was the greatest ring announcer of all times. I can remember the early Royal Rumbles. I still can he him announce the time for the Royal Rumble match:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is nooooow time for the Royal Rumble match. Now, earlier at random each superstar drew a number from 1 to 30 accourding to how they will enter. In a few moments those who drew number 1 and 2 will enter and the match will start. Every 2 minuttes another superstar will enter accourding to the number he drew. Elimination can accour at everytime when a superstar has been thrown over the top rope with both his feet touching the floor. The last superstar in the ring, after all 30 have entered, will be declared the winner and will go on to face the champion at WrestleMania. Nooooooow, let us aaaaaaaaall find out who drew number 1".
This was so classic and nobody has done it better ever since.
No, he's a average-at-best announcer who has no redeeming, stand out qualities other than a very annoying, distinctive voice and a funny way of pronouncing John Cena - It's John Cena - not Johhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn Cennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnna.
Howard Finkel is definitely my favorite ring announcer.
HAHA yeah I noticed that too he really hit the CHAMP.
