Guest wootman Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 You may remember that female blonde ring announcer on WWF Challenge from the late 80's/early 90's. Her name is Mike McGuirk. She was like the original Lilian Garcia. I must admit that I kinda dug her and she's most definately one of my favorite retro babes. I mark for when the camera would give her a closeup as it's rare. I didn't like that she always wore a tuxedo. I wish she wore dresses like Miss Elizabeth. She's also a tremendous ring announcer with a strong voice. I've never heard her make a mistake when announcing. EVER! Apparently, she's the daughter of an old promoter who I'm quite certain that Jim Ross is familiar with, so that's probably how she got into the business. And another pet peeve of mine about her besides the tuxedos, HER NAME IS MIKE!! I believe the legend is that her dad was so stubborn that he did not have a boy because he wanted a baby boy that he named her Mike anyways even though she was a girl. Anyways, I just visited Sherri Martel's official site, looked at some photos and to my amazement, there were two pics of Sherri with Mike McGuirk. So she DIDN'T fall of the face of the earth. For the longest time, I've always wondered about her and what happened to her. She's such a mystery. Anyways, here's the pics!! Hmmmm, Mike still looks pretty damn good these days. She's aged gracefully. MILF-quality now. I think she'd be about 50 years old now or close too it. She's taken good care of herself. Good job Mike. As for Sherri, eeeeek on the first pic. She looked really good on Smackdown a few weeks back. Sherri seems to be the type that needs professional makeup artists too look good otherwise she's not too appealing. Oh well, I'd still hit it. Anyways, Mike McGuirk is still alive and seems to be doing well for those of whom who'd like to know.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Yikes; Sherri's kind of let herself go, hasn't she? I'm guessing that the troll on the far right in the second picture is Jim Duggan; who's the troll on the far left? And how sad is it that Duggan is the least gruesome looking of the four?
Jericholic82 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Mike is a much better announcer than Liillian. Lillian sucks announcing and singing (she butchered america the beautiful at Mania IMO) . Plus she kinda looks like a man to me.

Duggan looks atrocious.
Guest DVD Spree Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Hey, careful. That's Big Vis' woman you're talking about there. Wow, a TSMer who can use an apostrophe correctly! Awesome!
Dobbs 3K Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I think Duggan looks fine for his age in that pic (he's probably, what? In his late 40's or early 50's?)...don't know why everyone is picking on the guy so much. It's not like he was ever a really handsome guy to begin with.
Jericholic82 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Hey, careful. That's Big Vis' woman you're talking about there. Wow, a TSMer who can use an apostrophe correctly! Awesome! Yea, I think a lot of us know how to. We are just lazy on the boards (well at least I am )

No, he'll eat one of your legs then sit on you.

I know it's not him, but from the angle, it looks like the guy who played Mr. Roper on Three's Company.
snuffbox Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 The second one is possibly the most disturbing image i have ever seen.
Special K Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Actually.... http://www.bartleby.com/141/strunk.html#1 It should be Vis's. Though since it's become commonly used, I'm sure you can find plenty of sources that say dropping the last s is okay. Just like all those misspelled words that now have 'alternate spellings.'
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 Apparently, she's the daughter of an old promoter who I'm quite certain that Jim Ross is familiar with, so that's probably how she got into the business. She is. Her father was the late Leroy McGuirk, a former NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion. He quit wrestling when he lost his sight, and became a respected promoter. He's in the WON Hall of Fame.
The Tino Standard Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 Actually.... http://www.bartleby.com/141/strunk.html#1 It should be Vis's. Though since it's become commonly used, I'm sure you can find plenty of sources that say dropping the last s is okay. Just like all those misspelled words that now have 'alternate spellings.' Associated Press style dictates that in situations where a singular ends in an S (such as Big Vis), you do NOT add another S after the apostrophe. Hence, going by AP style, the way it was originally presented (sans extra S) is correct.
