Lilian Garcia was recently a guest on WINCLY. During the appearance, she discussed her failed attempt to become a WWE commentator. Here’s what she had to say:
Oh my God! The commentary is a whole skill on its own. When I auditioned for WWE initially, they threw me into the commentary booth just to see what I could do. I was going to college right before that and just fell out of wrestling right at that time. So when they put me in that commentary booth and all of a sudden DX is in the ring, I don’t know DX.
So I just went, ‘Oh wow! Look at that hit. Oh, wow that must have hurt!’ It was bad [laughs]. I remember putting the headphones down and saying, ‘Wow you’re definitely not going to be hiring me for this job.’
But I love that women are stepping up and doing more of that…There’s so many women announcers, interviewers and commentators. I love it. So proud.
