Rumour from WWE land is Lillian's recent (and many mistakes) are WWE execs work

On Raw she was apparently told of a triple threat match that didn't exist to make her lookbad

WWE has a history of making people on the way out look bad - imagine the references they write....

They could at least put a bit of imagination into it "The Following 5 on 5 Sumo fight to the death match is scheduled for one death". - Garcia

"Er, Lillian, this is a one-on-one match". - Cole

-- As seen last night on Raw, Lilian Garcia made a noticeable miscue by announcing a Triple Threat Match for the Number One Contendership to the WWE Divas Championship. However, there were only two Divas in the match — Alicia Fox and Gail Kim. Garcia addressed the announcing mishap this morning on her Twitter account.

"Was told that it was going to be a Triple Threat match so that is what I announced. That's Live TV for ya. Only doing my job," Garcia wrote. "Cause I got told by the ref in the ring after my announcement that it was a singles match. Things not always what they seem."

It's been speculated that some people backstage may have purposefully given her false information considering WWE has a history of making talent who are on their way out of the company look bad. While that may have been the case, as of early in the afternoon, WWE had plans for the Divas match to be a Triple Threat Match.

That sounds odd to me. Why would they try and make her look bad?? She's not leaving the company on bad terms or anything.

The only reason I can think of for them to make her look bad on purpose is if all WWE executives are just really cruel people. That may be it, I don't know....

Preacher/activist dude. (Possibly not actual job description)



Actually, in The Simpsons' Treehouse Of Horror episode when the world ends and Homer and Bart end up on a rocket of "second-rate" celebrities headed for the sun, Al Sharpton is on it.

So after all those years of service, Lillian's career ends with a blink and you'll miss it moment...

A year ago Raw was weak

6 months ago it was bad tv

Now, its not a question of how bad it is but how soon untill it should be banned

The awful special guests and their entourage - the excess is sickening, its MTV

C'mon snipers take your shot!

Despite being the worst wrestling show on tv its the highest rated one 

Even looking at WWE programming alone its the worst of the four.

WWE has tapped into the same cretins that watch MTV

the magic camera is a feature of their garbage

I have no idea who enjoys Raw, does anybody here like it?

Even though I don't watch it live, for some reason I like the fact that it's broadcast live and has that live atmosphere. Don't really know how I can explain that one.

I like HHH and Michaels together (some don't, I do ) and TBH most of the guys on the show I don't mind. I don't dislike Raw as much as some people do, but I can see why they don't like it. The guest host stuff only seems to really work when the host is an ex-wrestler (and the crowd are awake *coughTorontocough*) and a heel announcer world be nice. I could go on, but to me, Raw is OK. Somewhere in the middle. Average. Etc.

No kidding.  The one show that I want to watch is banished to a crappy timeslot I can't stay up for (Smackdown).  The one show I don't want to watch has a cushy time slot.  Go figure.

Yeah, but the live atmosphere only goes so far.  There are never any surprises on RAW anymore.  The amount of wrestling is very little and at this point I'm not sure it is worth wading through the other junk to get to it.  I would like a normal gm/commish type if only because that would ensure more wrestling and less entertainment.  I wish they'd bring back some blood to the shows too (not likely since Linda's senate run), anything to keep it more interesting than it is now.
