A few years ago, I remember reading an online interview with WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, in which he was asked to describe Fit Finlay. Vince called him a "tough, rugged bastard", as well as a "throwback to another era".

I'd say Vince nailed it.

In this latest interview with 'IMetAWrestler.com', I spent over twenty minutes talking to Finlay about that other era - the dark, smoke filled days of the '70s and early '80s, a time when the fans were much more volatile and aggressive, often attacking the wrestlers during events. For an Irish heel wrestling in England during The Troubles, Finlay dealt with more than his share of crazed audiences, earning his moniker of "The Tough Irish Bastard".
