Worst in a major promotion for sure. I have no clue how she kept that position for so long, let alone coming back to it again for several more years. I'm not saying I don't understand her employment, I totally do. She's smart, nice, charismatic, everyone liked her. I just dont get why they used her as a ring announcer. I think Lilian would have been better off as an interviewer, much like she is on Chasing Glory.

Really? I mean, I know she wasn't perfect, but Lillian's your go-to for worst ring announcer ever? When THIS guy exists?

She seems to have that Arn Anderson thing where she never ages.

She is still better than Justin Roberts.

I wouldn't call her the worst ever, but she was clearly poorly prepared for the role. Moreover, improvements on her end were either never encouraged or were actively discouraged by the likes of Vince and Kevin Dunn.

Even Debra did a better job at that show when she was seemingly as pissed as a fart.

No question. Worst ring announcer ever and I don’t think anyone beats her for that crown. She was awful and never improved. Never improved? Have you heard her from 1999- to say 2013? She was leaps and bounds better.

She is still better than Justin Roberts. I used to like him a lot, still do but his added exaggeration of names he says is really annoying.

I loathed it when she sang The Star Spangled Banner. She ridiculously over sang it, especially the “was still there” line just to get a cheap pop.

She was leaps and bounds better. Going from god awful to less awful is not something I would proudly consider an improvement, especially when she had over a decade of experience by the time the supposed improvement began.

If some of Roberts stories are true. I can’t imagine anyone could be a good announcer with Kevin Dunn screaming in your ear

Somebody hasn't watched Wrestling Society X. God. Fabian Kaelin was the absolute worst but also I kind of loved that he was so terrible? There's just some sort of insane trainwreck charm to WSX and I was genuinely bummed out when it got cancelled.

Nah, I like Lilian. I think there's worse announcers.
I can't remember his name, but there was a guy who announced back in the Attitude era whenever Fink wasn't around, and he seemed to have like no energy or charisma in his voice. He sounded pretty awkward.
Also, even though he seems like a really good guy, I've never really cared for Justin Roberts' delivery.

I don't see why a woman can't be a great ring announcer, for me the issue is that she clearly just turned up 40 seconds before the cameras rolled and couldn't even be bothered to read the notes prepared for her. Hey, Mike McGuirk was actually a decent, if good ring announcer.
