During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, former WWF/E ring announcer Lilian Garcia explained why she was forced to leave WWE in 2016.
Lilian said that her family was told her father only had a few weeks to live:
“That was so hard, and I wasn’t intending to leave the company.
At this point, I had put 15 years in but I still was okay with staying.
I loved it, but then when [my father] got really sick, he told us he had two weeks to three months to live.
It was kind of like, the decision was made and it was okay because I took care of him.
And during that time, he’s like, ‘Lil, I don’t want you to sit here and watch me die.
What can you be doing next? I feel bad that you’re not there anymore.’
I was like, ‘Well, I had this idea in 2004 for this little show that I thought would be really cool to talk to the superstars’.
And it all started with the females.”
