Finkel on his favorite celebrity to work with and celebrity involvement at WrestleMania: "Where do I begin. Of course, Muhammad Ali. At that time, he was to boxing what Hulk Hogan was to wrestling. Years to years, I worked with Joan Rivers in 1986 and enjoyed meeting her. Donald Trump - how could you go wrong with Donald Trump. What an entrepreneur he is and a class-act that he was. A lot of these celebrities were fans - some weren't. But once many of them 'got the rub' from the WWE/F machine, they became fans from then on"
On how unique WrestleMania is as an event and why it continues to deliver: "It's classified as 'expecting the unexpected.' There is no other event - on the face of this Earth, in my humble opinion - that can give you bang-for-your-buck every year, consistently. You want the very best of events - in entertainment - it's WrestleMania."
What the Fink felt was his defining moment in his career and at WrestleMania: "Personally, WrestleMania 3 - Pontiac Silverdome, 1987. To stand in the middle of the ring and look around at 93,173 people looking down at us - myself, and the WWF superstars, that was the greatest moment for me. And just to know all those people were there to have a good time and I had to perform - to ring announce - for those people...that'll never happen again. I don't think I'll ever work in front of crowds that huge - that 'landmarkish' - ever again. I was absolutely filled with pride for Vince (McMahon) on that day."
