Show of hands. Who'd still tap that? *raises hand. Looks around* Really? Just me? *also raises hand*

I still remember when she went toe to toe with Magestic Prince, Monsoon!

According to wikipedia one of her signature moves is the 'slap low blow'. That sounds painful. A slap low blow, a slap low blow y'all always lie to your friends!

Lilian's always gotten more hate than she deserves. She's not terrible at her job (and her botches aren't that frequent] she's just nowhere near Fink's league.

I gained new respect for her after watching the "After RAW" dvd, during the segment where Austin was trying to get her to do the spinaroonie. She came off as so funny, embarrassed and sweet chugging beers (and blatantly getting soaked) but trying valiantly to explain to Stone Cold that she only had on a short skirt. It was extremely endearing.
I wouldn't consider her one of the top 5 WWE ring announcers at the moment though due to her fairly constant (if often only slight) botches. She started in the 90s for f***s sake, there's no excuse for her still being so uncomfortable on the mic.

Either that or Austin was drunk as hell.

She has the best kind of Arn Anderson disease. The one where you always look like a 30 year old rather than the one where you always looked 40 like Sable/Rhyno/Arn Anderson have

Still indecently beautiful. She's 27 years older than JoJo for chrissakes! Also, watching Attitude Era stuff on the Network has made me realise that Lilian was genuinely really good at backstage interviewing. Shame she didn't stick with that otherwise she'd probably be much better-regarded.

Remember how Triple H would make those weird references to Lilian "horsing around"? I guess implying she has a horseface? Let's employee a gorgeous woman and neg her, bro. Only a couple of years ago Ryback made some sort of remark on commentary like 'sorry, my voice is a little hoarse. Must have been hanging round Lilian too much, amiriteguys?' Made me wonder if Hunter fed him the line cos it was exactly the sort of thing he used to come out with.

The following image is why I love Pro Wrestling: I love the promo she did where she basically begged Viscera to stay with her. The tone of her voice pretty much implied that he was laying down some good d.

Didn't she replace Finkle? I think that was a big part of the backlash against her. For me, not so much backlash as just saying she still botched announcing way more than someone who has done it for as long as she has. An occasional flub is fine, even expected, but she has a track record of doing it way too often

Reminds me of her tone of voice in The Rock's "making her wet" promo when she went from professional to wanting it so bad in about a minute.

HHH's insults towards her have always irked me. Specifically because he's the last person on Earth who should be insulting someone else's appearance. He looks like a neanderthal.

She's old? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Retire and let a younger ring announcer take your place!
