Lilian Garcia Leaves WWE

After 15 years, Lilian Garcia will no longer be our voice in WWE. In a lengthy post on Instagram August 1, 2016 Lilian Garcia announced she will no longer be working with the WWE. (view here) The main reason is because her father has been battling two different types of cancer. Lilian describes in the post that her father needs her and traveling every week with WWE, just isn’t a good idea at the moment. She has been the main voice on Monday Night RAW and Smackdown.

Personally I think this should be bigger news than people are making it out to be. Lilian has been a part of every big match in recent memory. It has been really different to hear announcers other than Lilian Garcia or Howard Finkel for me. I mention this because they actually did have a match, evening gown against tuxedo match! Look it up! How could we forget her backstage interviews with The Rock, that made everyone laugh and feel awkward? I was at WrestleMania 31 and when Paul Heyman took the mic from Lilian, to announce Brock Lesnar, of course it was awesome, but it got me thinking. Have we really appreciated the lovely voice of Lilian Garcia?

There has been numerous occasions where Lilian has been embarrassed or made fun of right in front of our faces on television. She always hangs in there and takes it, and for that she should be rewarded. I mean, being involved in a love storyline with Viscera should immediately give you a salary raise! Wrestlers have disrespected her and in some cases even injured her. Lilian always smiles and rubs it off, coming back every night introducing the matches in a professional matter.

We catch some sneak peeks of her life on Total Divas but, it leaves you wanting more. Such a nice person filled with love and compassion for the business, flying way under the radar. She has recorded albums and even sang National Anthem’s at the most prestigious arenas, such as Madison Square Garden! It is unfortunate as to why she needs to depart WWE right now, but her life may be just beginning. Clearly having a talented voice and sense for song writing. Lilian Garcia is a Hall of Famer in my view and I wish her an even better life after WWE. Lilian Garcia you will truly be missed! P.S. We all hope your Dad kicks Cancer’s ASS!
