Guest ShooterJay Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 From our very own Dr. Tom.. Lilian Garcia took a couple of bumps on Raw. It doesn’t seem like such a big deal after a pair of octogenarians let themselves get manhandled by the Island Boys, but this was the first time Garcia had really gotten involved in an angle. A lot of the wrestlers see her as some kind of "super-diva" who thinks she's above the business, and she's not very popular with some of the boys as a result. On the replays, you could see that the bumps she took were very safe. By the way, it's true that she's much hotter when you see her live. (Credit: 1wrestling.com) Uh, for Christ's sake, she's a FRIGGIN' RING ANNOUNCER! She doesn't have to "care" about the business, she just has to announce the participants. Damn, the WWE must be populated by people with middle school maturity levels for stupid crap like this to happen. It seems as indy wrestlers get smarter, WWE gets dumber. I've been backstage at a ton of indy events, and I've never seen stupid immature crap like this.
Guest MrRant Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Not to mention she isn't trained to take any sort of bump.
Guest Showstoppa Icon Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 think she's above the business? what is wrong with WWE. Shes a RING ANNOUNCER! its different if the wrestlers dont care, but shes a ring announcer. Hell any ring announcer thatll take a bump cares about the business in my opinion.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Well, that did come originally from 1wrestling, so its probly bullshit
Guest chirs3 Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 If a frail little ring announcer is willing to take bumps with two huge guys like that, I'd have respect for her, not hate her.
Guest Storm Tracker Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 I love Lillian. Didn't The Kat push Lillian into a swimming pool for mistakenly calling her Miss Kitty a while back and I think Steph threw hot coffee on her one time also, so she has been involved in the action a couple of times.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, you were serious? sorry
Guest LaParkaMarka Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 She probably just doesn't put out for the wrestlers. Guess they're upset at her no-selling their pick-up lines.
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 *ahem* Now, if they want to hold Lillian for not wanting to take bumps, what about the whole gang of Hosses that dosen't sell worth crap? Oh, can't forget Hogan in there, either.
Guest deadbeater Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 I like the way Lillian smile as she anounces Trish to the ring. I imagine Internet writers doing Trish/Lillian slash right now. And her warming up to the Rock helped made the "strudel" skit work. She should have sang at the HHH-Stephanie wedding renewal of vows.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 Lillian isnt that great of a singer
Guest LesnarLunatic Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 The reason that Ring Announcers should care about the business is simple.. so they can become dedicated enough to become good announcers and always get their stuff right. Lillian doesn't do that. she took some safe bumps, she is not above the wrestlers. Hell, most of them might be able to top her at announcing. That's a bad sign when it comes to her skills and consistancy
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 trivia who was the first undisputed champ thats an easy one Chris Benoit
Guest papacita Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I'm a Lillian Mark...and she did get put in the figure four by Jarrett back in in his woman-hating days... BTW-The way they mixed Benoit's and Guerrero's theme music on Smackdown was HOT!
Guest NazMistry Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I wouldn't mind giving Lillian HEAT.
Guest redbaron51 Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 does lillian have more heat than Brock?!
Guest TheHulkster Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 By the way, it's true that she's much hotter when you see her live. (Credit: 1wrestling.com) This is true. She's very hot when you see her live.
Guest Dangerous A Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 The bit with the Island Boyz was dumb. It did nothing for me. They really need to have them beat up, you know, wrestlers. I know, what about Stasiak and D'lo. Well they need to beat on wrestlers who are somewhat over and those 2 are only about half a step ahead of X-Pac on the overness scale. As pertains to Lillian, I don't give a shit if she cares or doesn't care about the business. But she should care enough about her job so she doesn't screw up as often as she does. That shows one of two things. 1) She doesn't give a flying fuck about the business and that's why she fucks up wrestlers names. Or 2) She's really fucking stupid. Either way, the news was reported by 1fucktardwrestling.com so I should shut up and quit giving any credence to what those pieces of shit have to say about anything.
Guest razazteca Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I hate it when announcers, ref, or any non wrestlers get involved in angles. maybe Patterson is made that the Island Boys did not do the stinky face on him?
Guest Mattdotcom Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 This is true. She's very hot when you see her live. Lita was too, in 2000 at least. Yes, I just wasted by 500th post, but who gives a turd?
Guest evenflowDDT Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I hate it when announcers, ref, or any non wrestlers get involved in angles. I actually disagree. Deep down inside of me, some sick sadomasochistic mark for crap side of me LOVES most bits with non-wrestlers, as long as it's not too big or gross. I remember when Steph threw hot coffee on Lillian, and it made me dislike her more, and for some reason I enjoyed Howard Finkel's "heel turn" on RAW very much... poor Lillian... but I guess in the case of Michael Cole, I'm just missing something because I don't pick up on a lot of mistakes from her at all.
Guest razazteca Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 but Tuxedo matches, evening dress matches of Patterson vs Brischo, ref matches of Nick Patrick vs Earl Hebner were all bad. Teddy Long and Bill Alphonso turning into managers made since.
Guest GeneMean Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Lillian is hotter in person. I wouldn't mind her cursing me out in Spanish.
Guest the pinjockey Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Christ this is so fucking retarted. Lets see here many of the wrestlers suck in the ring, the writers have sucked lately, and overall the product has been afwul over the last 6 months. So what should the wrestlers be worrying about? Of course a ring announcer who does not want to take bumps. Shut the fuck up and worry about your own god damn business. She is a ring announcer she did not sign on to be a wrestler so why should she have to perform like a wrestler. She proved on Raw to be willing to take a bump if need be but how often does the ring announcer need to take a bump. And where does this "super-diva" crap come from. Yeah what a diva I mean the way she is on TV all the time hogging time from wrestlers just to get her face on TV...oh wait she doesn't...or how about all of those times where she forced a writer to change the product because she wasn't happy..oh wait she didn't do that either. By my understanding a "super-diva" would be trying to get attention by any means or always throwing tantrums. How dare she not want to do something that was not part of her job description? Personally I think she is an awful ring annoucer "The Allowance", "Jericho/Beniot", "Chuck O'Haire" are things that spring to mind for reasons I wouldn't be sad if she was fired, but to dump this type of crap on her is completely absurd.
Guest AndrewTS Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 "Chuck O'Haire?" HEH! Maybe she'll call B+C "Chuckabilly" one of these days. Or did she already? And yeah...this is the kinda thing that seems to make sense only to the WWE. It's the proverbial re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Guest DerangedHermit Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 It's BS. 1Wrestling = National Enquirer of wrestling.
Guest the pinjockey Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 This is not the first time I remember reading about Garcia having heat with the boys for stupid reasons.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 It's BS. 1Wrestling = National Enquirer of wrestling. The National Enquirer isn't a B.S. magazine. They played a large role in Robert Blake's arrest. Just because some prick in Hollywood says a story about them is false, doesn't mean it really is. Just fire Lillian. She's a terrible announcer, and it doesn't appear she's trying to improve. Her singing voice might be good, but that doesn't seem worth the money their paying for her.
Guest Human Fly Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I wondered if this was maybe a way for the WWE to phase Lillian out. Maybe she's leaving so they just used her for an angle on the way out. Or maybe she'll go to SD now.

The Enquirer may not be BS but it definitely exaggerates at times. They don't do it for public service for the most part, they do it to sell more copies. Agree though, that they need to fire Lillian. Fink and Chimmel are much better, except for the tuxedo match. Yuck.
