World Wrestling Entertainment Producer (formerly "Agent") Fit Finlay was
interviewed by Jim Varsallone of THE MIAMI HERALD, and the
interview contained some rather interesting quotes. You can read the entire
Highlights from the story:
David Fit Finlay is like a fine wine or a select piece of
cheddar cheese. He simply gets better with age.
Finlay, 49, is one of the top stars on the WWE roster.
When pondering wrestlers who made an impact over the long haul,
Finlay does not come to mind, but he should.
Andre, Flair, Hogan, Mascaras and Taker spent many years
entertaining fans.
Not to say Finlay is on par with them, but he has lasting power
nationally and internationally, and that's not an easy thing to do, especially
in a depleted overall industry.
Finlay celebrates his 34th year in the business, spending most of
it overseas, which is probably the reason for the snub.
''I'm really proud to be in this business that long,'' Finlay
said. ``I'm a third generation wrestler. I've been everywhere, done everything,
not done everything I wanted to, but I've lasted a long time."
Finlay ventured to America, joining WCW from 1996-2000. He landed
a job with WWE, working as a road agent and training female wrestlers.
''For six years, I trained all the girls,'' he said. ``I got into
their heads, found out who they were, and I improved them.''
Like boxing great George Foreman and basketball legend Michael
Jordan, he decided to make a comeback at an older age, 45, in 2004 with WWE.
Earning the nickname Fit for a reason, Finlay remained in
excellent condition. He proved his worth again in the ring and on the mic, with
even more fan reaction. The angry, mean Irishman loved to fight, and crowds
loved to boo him.
A former WCW TV champ and WWE U.S. title holder, Finlay helped
stopped Bobby Lashley's unbeaten streak in
Lashley's match against JBL. Finlay
elevated his game, becoming an integral part of the SmackDown! roster while
wielding a shillelagh which he often uses as a weapon.
Jeers turned to cheers when Finlay admitted the popular
Hornswoggle was his son instead of Mr. McMahon's flesh and blood. He saved his
Lil Bastard from the crushing hands of The Great Khali. Seeing how things spin
in WWE, Finlay, in an effort to avenge a beating of his son, battled JBL in a
Belfast Brawl at WrestleMania 24 in Orlando.
''I've known JBL and he's known me probably more than anyone else
in this circuit,'' Finlay said. ``We wrestled in Europe together. We've known
each other for 20 years. I've watched him. He's watched me. We know each other's
style. I know what it takes to knock him down. Likewise, he knows what it takes
to knock me down.''
JBL said: ``The last time I had wrestled Finlay was 15 years ago
in Hanover, Germany, and my tooth is still missing. That's true.
``I got it knocked out recently at the Royal Rumble, the cap that
was put on, and I started to put it back in. I thought I'd better wait til
Monday [after WrestleMania] at least. Just to make sure.''
``Ric Flair has had a 36-year career, tremendous. I would love to
go out on a higher note than Ric Flair because I think Ric held on too long. My
opinion.''
