Perhaps that's the reason we didn't jump on the following when it broke a few weeks ago.
WWE Announcer/Singer / Female / All Ethnicities / 20 - 30
Description: WWE is looking for a young, attractive female to sing the national anthem and be our regular ring announcer every week, for one of our most popular TV shows (WWE is estimated to be seen in 500,000,000 households in 150 countries/30 languages)...
This is a breakout job for any young singer. Please specify on submissions if anyone has appeared on American Idol, making the Band or any show of this comparison.
Rate:depends on talent
Yes, for a hot second the wrestlewebz were all aflutter with why there needed to be a new ring announcer. Was Lilian Garcia about to be "FIRRRREEEEEDDD!"? Or would Smackdown and/or ECW have their own Latin spice to sing our anthem? Is this the end of that pervert, Tony Chimel's, employment within WWE? Is this going to be like the Monday Night Wars again, where talent jumps between promotions as a sign of a major coup? Will Jeremy Borash be leaving TNA to join WWE?
Of course, someone had to go and spoil all the fun. No. not Howard Finkel. Lilian Garcia herself! Here's the good word straight out of her mouth:
Hi Everyone,
I hope all of you are doing well! I am writing to address the situation in which WWE is looking for a Female Ring Announcer/Singer. The truth of the matter is that they are looking for someone new because I have given them my notice that I will be leaving at the end of my contract this year. It is with a heavy heart that I have made this decision because WWE has been my family from day one and you, the WWE Universe have always been incredible to me. The fact is that I am getting married later this year and have decided to enter into a new phase of my life but I will truly miss all of you and the WWE tremendously.
Love you all & keep rockin!
Forever Rockin’,
Lilian :-)
And our response:
Hi Lilian,
We are doing very well. Thanks for asking! How are you? Yes, this new female ring announcer situation was perplexing. Thanks for clearing up the confusion! Our hearts are also heavy that you have decided to leave WWE. We're glad you recognize how incredible we've been to you. Still, congratulations on the engagement! When's the wedding? Where are you registered? Is it a double wedding with Todd Grisham? That'd be really cute, LOL.
Love you and YOU keep rockin!
Forever rollin,
Twins 8->
Yes, Lilian. We will miss you, whenever it is that you finally step away. So please allow us a brief moment to remember the good times.
