Just in case we didn’t have enough bad news in a row.

What else can you say here?  He was the Fink, and often the voice that a lot of people associate with the WWF.  That AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is one of the best sounds you’ll ever hear in wrestling.  Fink was the first WWF employee and is credited with coming up with the name of Wrestlemania.  He was also the official statistician and considered one of the best trivia minds in the company, with the things that he would say being dubbed Finkel Facts and the WWE.com trivia game being named Outthink The Fink.  This one hurts a good bit as my nostalgia takes a painful hit.  There was no cause of death listed, though Fink had been in bad health for a good while.
