Monday Night Wars Big Fight Announcers

[Slyder]

Random Insomnia Poll time.

Seeing someone post pictures of Michael Buffer at the fight between a serial woman beater and the Phillipine Pretty Boy Tax cheat got me to thinking. Who was the better ring guy during the Monday Night Wars?

Michael Buffer or Howard Finkle. Yes I know Buffer has a wider arc of influence but I was always partial to Fink. You knew you had made it big when you got the Fink to call out with his trademark "the winner.. and NEW (insert title here).

Buffer doing lame Nitro mains in 98 completely killed him for me, but that might be my WWF bias talking.

It's the Fink, and it's not even close, IMO.

Buffer was the same intro all of the time.

It works for boxing but WCW used him to try and get Nitro main events to have a "big event" feel. I just felt it dragged the intro out too much.

Yeah, this.

I always thought it was a waste of time for Buffer to prop up the "main event" when you know, you just know, the fucking NWO will arrive to hijack the match via outside interference.
