ERN Presents TNT On BTR-Remembering "The Fink" And The Rest Of The News

We were all set to have some fun with the news regarding the decision regarding wrestling in Florida, but then we were hit with the news of the passing of WWE Hall Of Famer Howard "The Fink" Finkle. Howard started out as the Madison Square Garden ring announcer when the then WWF was merely a Northeastern US wrestling promotion. As Vince McMahon expanded the promotion and started to take it national, Howard became more of a national presence as the voice of the company with his familiar call of "Coming down the aisle" signifying the entrance of some of the biggest stars of the 80s & 90s, even into the 2000s. He even played an active role at times in various angles with the company. We have reached out to several former WWF/E stars to join us to talk about Howard. Greg Garard, Oscar of Men On A Mission will definitely be joining us and we hope to have some more.

The announcement a few days ago by Florida governor Ron DeSantis that professional wrestling was being declared an "essentisl business" caused shock waves that reverberated around the country. It took 24 hours before word leaked out that money changed hands and the name McMahon was at the forefront of that money exchange, except the first name was NOT Vince. We'll go into the particulars of the situation in order to let you connect the dots.

There have been consistent rumors over the years of Vince McMahon paying officials in various states to either get things he wanted or to keep his stars out of trouble. This week's episode of DARK SIDE OF THE RING and the companion AFTER DARK seemed to show this as the case of the death of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's girlfriend Nancy Argentino was examined. We will also talk about the mass releases and what the NXT roster was told. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride tonight.
