Lilian Garcia (born August 19, 1973 in Florence, South Carolina) is a singer, who also works as a ring announcer and Diva for World Wrestling Entertainment on its RAW brand.
Lilian was once a top 10 finalist in the Miss South Carolina contest. She used to be a video jockey in Atlanta, Georgia and once had a drive-time afternoon radio show. She graduated cum laude from the University of South Carolina, and went on to spend 8 years in Madrid, Spain, becoming fluent in Spanish.

Lilian started ring announcing for the WWE in 1999. During the time of the brand split she was sent to RAW to be the main announcer along with long time announcer Howard Finkel.
She used her annoucing career to aid in her other career path, a rock singer. She released her first single, Shout, in 2002. In November of that same year, she recorded Torrie Wilson's theme song, Need A Little Time, for the WWE Anthology album.
On January 13, 2004 WWE released the album, WWE Originals. Garcia recorded a track to be included intitled, You Just Don't Know Me At All. She still uses that song as her WWE entrance music to this day.
Since 2005 she has been working on her upcoming solo album, including working with famed Latin artist Jon Secada on a duet to be featured on the album.
She once had a minor feud with Howard Finkel, who she defeated in an evening gown vs. tuxedo match. During a RAW episode in November, she announced correctly that Trish Stratus had won a bra and pantie match against Jackie Gayda. Gayda took exception to this, ripping the buttons off her shirt. Garcia then removed the shirt to reveal a black bra. The two argued before Rico, who Jackie managed, separated the two. Rumor has it that this was to be start of a small angle that would have culminated in a strip tease match (where the loser strips off her own clothes all the way down to her undergarments) between the two, but it never developed. In June 2005, Lilian started a romance with Viscera and briefly accompanied him to the ring. She soon returned to her ring announcing only to inform Viscera that she wanted to get married at WWE Vengeance on June 26, 2005. At Vengeance, Viscera dumped Lilian in favor of The Godfather's Hos after The Godfather made an appearance at the pay-per-view.
On November 14, 2005, the day after the passing of Eddie Guerrero, she like many other employees of the WWE, did a video tribute for Eddie. In her video testimonial she stated that she bonded with Eddie, recalling that they would speak Spanish all the time when they were around each other. Her fondest memories of Eddie was when they went to Iraq for the WWE's annual show for the troops. She said that the troops would go and thank him for being there with them, and performing for them, but she said that Eddie would say "No, don't thank me, because thank you for what you're doing for our country". She called Eddie one of the most humble people she has ever met, and she finished her tribute by saying "Te quiero muchisimo, y espero que Dios esté contigo, adiós", (I love you very much, and I hope God is with you, goodbye). |
