How do you know she's not a life long fan? And seriously, its ring announcing. How much do you have to know to say "The Following Contest is scheduled for one fall" lilian was there for ten years and she was still struggling with her last couple of months Well, yeah. I just think Lillian was pretty bad at it. I don't think it would be that difficult for anyone with a stage presence or public speaking experience though. I just don't know why they don't give them cards to use.

I'm so glad I can enjoy wrestling matches regardless of the people who say the names before the match.

I'm willing to give her a chance. As long as she's professional and competent at what she does, I don't really care if she knows the product or not. It's not like she's a color commentator or a writer. She's gonna be a ring announcer. All you need for that is to know how to speak, a good voice, and a decent memory.
That said, I do expect her first couple of shows to be terrible. But only because she's new on the job and needs to find her bearings. As much as people bash Lilian for botching lately, she was MUCH worse when she started out 10 years ago.

At least she's on SmackDown, where they can edit out her mistakes. My test for her is Hell in a Cell.

You guys would rather have an old bald guy than a hot chick? That old bald guy was a staple of my childhood. WE WANT FINK! Agreed, plus no one's been as good at the job as the 'old bald guy'; and likely never will be.

That's a valid point as well, for the most part, good announcers should be like good refs, when they're on, you shouldn't notice they're there.. for the most part. Except for Fink's ' And NEEEEEEEW champion bit' that will always rule.

The real question is not who the new female announcer is, but when will either CM Punk or Batista date her?

How long before Batista bangs her? Over/under is one month. I'm taking the under.

I don't imagine they will have her do both Smackdown and Raw. If Fink's going to return at all, it'll be on Raw while this girl gets her start on Smackdown.
But yeah, I'll wait until Friday before I judge. Even then it's not like you can make a completely accurate assessment based on early days.

I'll wait til I actually see her in action before I judge her. From what I can already tell she's pretty and has a decent voice but that's all I can say so far.
I would like the Fink on RAW. Ideally I'd have Fink on RAW, Roberts on Smackdown! and if this girl is any good she can have ECW and they can give Chimel the axe.

No thank you. Is it that hard to get someone who actually knows something about the product before hiring them? ...how do you know that she knows nothing about the product? It's probably VERY hard to find wrestling fans who are attractive, female, and can sing. That being said, I'd kinda prefer it if she didn't know the product, I want her to botch botch botch.

As long as she does not wrestle and sticks to her mike I'll be happy.

He's been with the company for something like 12 years.
