From ring announcing gaffes to shoe related mishaps, Lilian Garcia's second go-round with WWE has been rough at times. The veteran Diva had another bad night Sunday at Over The Limit as she mishandled no less than three ring introductions and was involved in a heated argument with a co-worker in front of fans.
During ring introductions for the participants in the Fatal 4-Way Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, Garcia incorrectly announced Sheamus' billed weight as 227 pounds, rather than 267 pounds. In another glaring miscue, Garcia announced Hunico as a match participant seconds after Hunico proclaimed Camacho as wrestling. Broadcaster Michael Cole took the opportunity to once again denounce her ring announcing ability, say he wasn't surprised by the mistake considering the source. Garcia also drew the ire of fellow ring announcer Justin Roberts for mishandling ring introductions for the Intercontinental Championship Match between Cody Rhodes and Christian. Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer explains in today's edition of Observer Radio:
"Something happened between Lilian Garcia and Justin Roberts where Lilian stormed off—live crowd could see it. And it had something to do with her botching something. It was the ring announcement of the Cody Rhodes/Christian match and they were arguing and she stormed off, I know that."
Garcia acknowledged her announcing slip-ups during a recent interview with The Sam Roberts Show. She stated that while she receives feedback regarding her gaffes from peers, they don't make fun of her. I have posted that interview below.

Writing on his Twitter page, Roberts responded:
Hey @liliangarcia supposedly we had an argument last night…u know what they say-if its on the Internet it HAS to be true, right? Good2cu!
Thoughts: I don’t really have much of an opinion on this one way or the other, however, I will say that Lilian has been as classy as ever in the face of all of the criticism thrown her way since her return. I admire her.
UPDATE: Lillian Garcia has also denied rumors of an argument between her and Justin Roberts at Over the Limit. In response to a tweet poking fun at the rumor by Roberts, Garcia replied with:
LOL news 2 me!"
She also acknowledged the errors in her announcing via Twitter, thanking a fan who told her:
It's awesome how u deal w the mishaps. It really shows ur level of professionalism.

She's a really cool person and a fellow Gamecock , but her botches are bad. I don't know why they brought her back. Quite frankly, I don't like Justin Roberts. Bring back Fink!
