I think Lillian Garcia & Tony Chimmel are both pretty awful.
I went to a Smackdown house show about a year and a half ago and wanted to slap Chimmel everytime he said "Smackdown Sooooooooperstars"...
Justin Roberts is doing a marvelous job though.

Uh, she tries to pronounce the names correctly and there would be no sense in pronouncing for example Undertaker with rolling r's? I kinda understand it tho, I mean Konnan or Juvi never called him Rey Mysterrrrrrrrio. That doesn't bug me tho, she is really bad at names tho. Like when she anounced Matt Hardy as just "Matt....." tonight. At least she didn't call him "Jeff". |

You'd think she would've went over that before the match started. From what I hear she's nice, has a good singing voice, but sucks royally as an announcer. |

Justin Roberts is doing a marvelous job though. I am the complete opposite about Chimmel. I like him more than Robers. And Lillian is well good to look at. But is terrible at announcing |

That did get on my nerves as well. I don't care for it when someone's dialect or accent only comes out on certain words. Like this cook on the food network...everyday italian. She has no inclination of an accent, but once she has to say mozzeralla, she breaks into italian accent and says moootzerrrallah. Much like tonight w/ REEEEEEEY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTERRREIO. NO! That's a bad Lilian Garcia...she knows what she did. I respectfully disagree. If you're talking about something "foreign", and you happen to speak that language, why should you butcher the right pronounciation? Lilian Garcia is pronouncing the "latin" names the way they have to. |

Lillian is terrible at her job, but she seems like such a sweeheart in real life that I just don't want to hold it against her.

I'm as nice as can be to everyone at my job, but if I sucked at cooking as badly as she sucked at ring announcing, I'd have been fired a long time ago. Of course, I don't have a great singing voice. Or tits. Not girl-tits, anyway. |

We get it. Your Hispanic. Your music sucks. You don't need to roll your R's and say foreign wrestlers name with an accent. Rey Mysterrrrrrrrrrrrio. Santino Morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrella. I just found that to be very annoying tonight. I hate het to. One of my favorite memories of attending live wwe events was when Charlie Hass knocked her off the apron. |

She really is bad at ring announcing. She doesn't sound like an announcer at all. And I think she's hot, but not hot enough to have gotten the job just for being hot if that makes any sense. I really don't understand why she was hired to begin with.

I just found that to be very annoying tonight. To be honest, Howard Finkel (white man) used to do the same thing with rolling r's and other little accent things now and then back in his day. But I don't like Lillian Garcia because, well.....she's just not that good. |
