It is not as bad as when Jim Ross announced Stone Cold as new champion before a wrestlemania match I thought that was Michael Cole? Sure was, it was WM XV. I think he was plugging an appearance on HSN or something similar and said something along the lines of "Don't miss the appearance of new WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin"

They were selling plaques with the mat cut up and put on them with either Austin or Rock, whoever won, on them. JR said they had a piece of the mat and the new champ on them.

She's leaving anyway. Also, what did she do in tonight's match? I missed the PPV. Orton lost by DQ at first, and in announcing it she said, "Your winner and new WWE Champion, Randy Orton!" Yeah. I missed most of the Orton/Cena match so I didn't see that but it sounds freakin hilarious.

I know she has defenders, but if most people screwed up that much at their job (especially after a DECADE of employment), they'd probably be fired pretty quickly.
That said, I think the fact that she's been screwing up so much lately is due to the fact that she doesn't give a crap anymore, and hasn't ever since she decided not to renew her contract.

Ya know, if it was my last night and I decided to mess up on purpose, I would've gone all out and announced Orton as the new X Division Champion or something.

For those who missed it. Here's the transcript of the first Orton/Cenea finish:
*Orton shoves the referee and gets the championship belt. Bell rings*
Lilian: Ladies and gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen. I have just received word *Looks around* Here is your winner and the new WWE Champion RANDY ORTON.
Cole: Now wait a minute Randy Orton *retains* the title. Randy Orton retains the WWE Champion... ship. He's the champion...
Lilian: Ladies and gentlemen I have just received word that Mr. McMahon has reordered for this match to restart *crowd cheers* Furthermore... If Randy Ortan gets disqualified once again he will lose the WWE Championship
Cole: Well finally!

I never could stand her, I'm so glad to hear she's leaving. "NEW World Champion Randy Orton?" Get the hell off of my TV.

Yeah, she's botching on a weekly basis now. Time to let someone else have a go.

Oh ok. I didn't realise it had been reported that tonight was her last night. In that case.... [glow=red,2,300] WOO-HOO![/glow] Seriously? I was dead certain as I read your post that you knew it was her last night and were being superly ubertastically sarcastic. Now I'm sad. 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 Now I feel better. Not only was it "one last f up" but it was "f'd up way to celebrate her WWE career."

If she is really gone, then good. She botched more than Jeff Hardy could ever have hoped to.

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? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NO JUSTIN ROBERTS!!! He hates me & I hate him!

What is the "Alicia Keys" incident? I think it was when she referred to Alicia Fox as Alicia Keys a week or so ago.

She's awful. Good Riddance I say. Every time she announced Ray Mysterio or Cryme Tyme, I wanted to throw things at my tv.

Tonight was her last night according to most reports. But, she should have been fired a long time ago. I don't disagree. And if not fired, at least removed from her role as the ring announcer. She's AWFUL. That screw up series last night was the worst of her career. Way to go out Garcia!

And now to be replaced by Angela Fong of all people.... anyone know what type of a ring announcer she is (as in, is she any good or does she stink up the place something fierce)?
