A few weeks ago, we heard that Howard Finkel may not be in the best of ways. It was said that he no longer travels and has lost a significant amount of weight but now Jerry Lawler has weighed in on the matter and it does sound like he may be struggling. Bear in mind that Finkel hasn't been seen on WWE programming for quite some time and he failed to make an advertised appearance at RAW 25.
"I just heard not long ago that Howard [Finkel] is in really, really bad health," Lawler explained. "Not good at all. He may have had a stroke. I’m not sure but I just know that he’s not doing well." This is really sad to hear but you have to hope he's receiving top-notch health care and that WWE is helping with that (he's been part of the company since being hired by Vince Sr. in 1975).
We'll be sure to keep you updated and will hopefully have something positive to share with you soon. In the meantime, our thoughts obviously go out to Howard and his family at this difficult time.
