Lilian Garcia Is Back!

Lilian Garcia Is Back!
http://beautiful-wrestling.blogspot.com/

We seem to be losing WWE Divas, but now we are getting a good one back!
Yes the WWE has announced that Lilian Garcia will be returning to the WWE.
See?
"WWE Universe, Lilian Garcia is back in a WWE ring!
Returning to WWE full-time after a more than two-year hiatus, Lilian will be SmackDown’s new ring announcer! It’s her first time joining WWE’s flagship Friday night brand."

Why is this important?
Well Lilian isn't actually a female wrestler, and the storylines they involved her in were to say the least lacking.
But Lilian had the thing that Miss Elizabeth had.
Class.
In the WWE with their outrageous storylines, that's a rare thing.
Even if the story line ran south fairly quickly, Lilian seemed to rise above it.

Now I'm wondering what they will do with her.

Former WWE Divas Candice Michelle and Lilian Garcia

Lilian Garcia has a new Facebook Fan Page up.
On the page there are of course pictures, and also a Music Player where you can listen to Lilian's music.

As you know, Candice Michelle is expecting her first child.
The last I heard he (or she) is due in May.
And at this weeks SmackDown taping at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Candice showed up to see some old friends.
She posted a picture of her and Melina on her Twitter account that you can see here

Female Wrestling: Candice Michelle, Lilian Garcia, Rena Mero and More

August 8th was Sable's (Rena Mero Lesnar) birthday.
So Happy (Late) Birthday Sable!
She turned 42 believe it or not.


The Sun UK has an article up called "Please Don't Leave Us Lilian!" complete with slideshow.



Joshi Puroresu star and now TNA Knockout Ayako Hamada will make her wrestling debut with TNA after the Hard Justice PPV.

The two men that booked the Knockout matches at TNA, Dutch Mantel and Savio Vega, were released from the company last week, and that seems to be making some of the Knockouts a little nervous.
Since the Knockouts are more technically sound than the Diva's, I'd hate to see this release mean a downhill slide for the women's wrestling division on TNA.


According to Wrestling Inc, Sharmell is really loved by the Knockouts backstage.
Jenna Morasca not so much.


Now that Candice Michelle is out of the WWE, is it possible we may see her turn up in TNA?
Of course thats the standard question everyone asked when a wrestler is released by the WWE.
Candice was working hard on her in ring skills, but she's not really up to Knockout level.
But maybe Candice as a manager or valet wouldnt be a bad idea.

The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 Divas

Here are all the WWE Divas that are in the new WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game....

From WWE Raw: Ashley, Beth Phoenix, Candice, Jillian, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Melina and Mickie James
And from WWE SmackDown: Maria, Michelle McCool and Victoria
And your standard non-playable characters: Lilian Garcia and Stephanie McMahon.

I thought including Ashley was unusual, but maybe at the time the game was being developed she was still on the roster.
Or maybe she was included because she's still very popular.
And who knows, one day we may get a WWE game that has a "Women's Wrestling Legends" section.
I would think though that it would be a bit too soon to include Moolah and Sherri Martel.
But imagine having Mad Maxine, Wendi Richter, Debbie Combs, Leilani Kai, Missy Hyatt, Rockin' Robin, Heidi Lee Morgan, Alundra Blayze, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Luna Vachon and Tori as unlockable characters.
But I guess that would be a whole different game huh?
Maybe "WWE SmackDown vs. Raw: Divas Edition" ?

WWE Divas - Lilian Garcia

Lilian Garcia was born on August 19th, 1966 in Florence, South Carolina.
Yes, Lilian is 44 years old.
She is a singer and the former ring announcer for WWE.

This self described army brat is of Spanish/Puerto Rican descent joined the WWE in 1999 and made her debut on the August 23, 1999, episode of WWE RAW.
She was on RAW for a little over ten years, retiring to focus on her music career in September 2010.

Wrestling is in her blood though, because when the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption stranded Raw ring announcer Justin Roberts along with other WWE superstars and crew in Europe, Lilian stepped up and filled in for Justin on the April 19th, 2010 episode.
Because of that appearance, there was a huge surge in Google searches for "Lilian Garcia".
Interestingly, this was the second time Lilian experienced a big rise in searches.
The first time was in 2007 during the Vince McMahon/Bobby Lashley incident on RAW.

As far as Lilian's singing career goes, she performed at the Summer Olympics (in 1996, before she went to work for the WWE), the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, and opened for James Brown.
She released her first album, ¡Quiero Vivir! on October 9, 2007.
