Anthony "Tony" Chimel[citation needed] (born October 11, 1967)[citation needed] is an American professional wrestling ring announcer, and the current ECW ring announcer.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Before Chimel was ring announcer, he and Joey Marella (referee and son of legendary grappler Gorilla Monsoon) were the main ring technicians for the WWF.
SmackDown!
Chimel was the SmackDown! ring announcer since its inception in 1999. He had also been ring announcing at SmackDown! brand pay-per-views during this period of time. He defeated Howard Finkel for the rights to be SmackDown! announcer in 1999 in a tuxedo match.[1]
From 2005 - 2007 Chimel was involved in a mini-feud with superstar Mr. Kennedy, who claimed that Chimel was not announcing his name with the proper respect that it deserved. This feud included Chimel being body punched, being "told to take a bow" (hit in the groin), and having a doughnut shoved in his mouth by Mr. Kennedy.
On Kurt Angle's final episode as SmackDown! General Manager, he demanded Chimel to come into the ring and give a demonstration of an apology that Eddie Guerrero should give; Chimel gave a sorrowful apology but then was fired by Kurt Angle. He was then re-hired by Vince McMahon.
On the December 22, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, he announced The Boogeyman as victorious too enthusiastically and caught his attention. The Boogeyman forced worms into his mouth as a result. Chimel ran away from the ring afterwards. This was a storyline for Chimel to take some time off to rest his nagging back injury and spend more time with his family. ECW announcer Justin Roberts was the ring announcer of SmackDown! until Chimel returned on April 13, 2007.
Chimel appears in the video games WWE Day of Reckoning 2, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 and WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. Although he cannot be unlocked during the games, some cheat devices have unlocked the character, revealing his surname to be misspelled as 'Chimmel.'
Tony Chimel was actually born on August 18th 1961. I am his daughter. He lives in gilbertsville and he started working for the wwe in the early 80's as a ring announcer, not in 1999
ECW
In 2007, Chimel swapped ring announcing duties with Justin Roberts, becoming the ring announcer for the ECW brand.[2] In addition to announcing on ECW on Sci Fi and ECW pay-per-view matches, Chimel also announces on WWE Superstars making his first appearance on the April 30, 2009 episode.
