After tonight's cock-up in the title match and the "Alicia Keys" incident the other week and the several f***-up's she's made in the last couple of months or so, I think WWE should take Lillian off TV immediately.
I'd just like to clarify that whilst I have never hid the fact that I've never liked Lillian at all, I fully understand that mistakes can be made and that announcing is not as easy as it may seem.
I also know that she will be leaving at the end of the year.
But every mistake she makes, especially in one of the biggest matches on the second biggest card of the year, makes the whole company seem a little more unprofessional.
I heard WWE were advertising for replacements for Lillian. If they have found someone and are in the process of "training them" (whatever that may be) then it may be some time before they are ready for live TV. So why not move Justin Roberts to Raw and let Tony Chimel announce Smackdown and ECW for the time being?
Or even better, have Howard Finkel announce Raw again! (OK, I can dream).
Anyone else agree or disagree?

Tonight was her last night according to most reports.
But, she should have been fired a long time ago.

She's leaving anyway.
Also, what did she do in tonight's match? I missed the PPV.

Howard Finkel?!!?!?!
He doesn't have boobs.
He can't sing.
He doesn't look hot in a mini skirt.
CLEARLY he just doesn't have what it takes to be Raw's ring announcer.
Come on, gotta think priorities!

She announced "Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, and NEW champion, Randy Orton!" At that moment, he had lost, and win or lose he wasn't the new champion. |

Oh ok. I didn't realise it had been reported that tonight was her last night.
In that case....

Actually, I think it may have been Fink's choice to stop announcing. And also, DiG, Lillian's contract is expiring tomorrow I believe and tonight was expected to be her last night. Tonight was her 10th anniversary with WWE |

She's gone? She's GONE?!? SHE'S GONE???!??
YES! I FEEL GREAT! NANANANA HEY HEY GOODBYE! GO ANNOUNCE SOME KID'S BAR MITZVAH AND BOTCH THE NAMES THERE! CAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ANYMORE!
Seriously, "Alicia Keys?" That's worse than "Summerfest". Her continued employment defied logic.
Michael Cole, get your bra and g-string on and go announce those matches! There's no way you could possibly do a worse job than Lillian.

It is not as bad as when Jim Ross announced Stone Cold as new champion before a wrestlemania match

That botch tonight was perhaps her most memorable. I won't miss the botches and the new chick looks much hotter so cya.

We all make mistakes. I once announced a guy the even people who don't watch wrestling know by the wrong name and I got super rich by having an annoying catchphrase.
Yours truly,

If this was Impact, Lillian would appear next show anyway, then cut an angry worked shoot promo about how the fans could never do what she does before joining Eric Young's stable.
