Triple H Says Bullying Needs To Be Stopped, Lilian Garcia On Why She Left WWE

Posted on 08.17.12 | Category: WWE News

- WWE Superstars, Divas and celebrities spread the ‘be a STAR’ anti-bullying message during the SummerSlam VIP Kick-Off Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday. The party also celebrated a successful year of WWE and The Creative Coalition’s be a STAR Alliance; WWE has held more than 40 anti-bullying rallies, speaking to more than 25,000 children.

“I think for our Superstars to be able to go to kids today and say, ‘embrace those things that make you different, embrace those things that kids maybe pick on you for now, because those are the things that make you unique, they make you who you are and be proud of who you are,’” said WWE Chief Operating Officer and Superstar Triple H.

Through WWE and The Creative Coalition’s anti-bullying campaign, children are encouraged to “be a STAR: Show Tolerance And Respect.”

“If you are being bullied, there is a way out of it – go to an adult, go to a parent, go to a guardian, go to a teacher, go to somebody,” Triple H said. “Don’t let it just it just happen. Don’t just put up with it. Don’t think there’s no way to stop it. You can stop it. And if you know somebody who is being bullied, help them stop it.”

- HoyLosAngeles.com spoke to SmackDown ring announcer Lilian Garcia, who recalled her unconventional route to WWE in 1999.

Garcia, who had not watched wrestling since she was a child and was an aspiring musician in the New York City area, was contacted by her agent to audition for a television role with WWE. It was successful and she was soon offered a one-year contract to become the ring announcer of Raw. Garcia, however, would only commit to a two to three month trial run at first. After falling in love with WWE, she signed a one-year contract and “here I am, (thirteen) years later,” Garcia says.

After ten consecutive years on the road, Garcia parted ways with WWE in September 2009. She explains, “I did not want to start a marriage with me traveling everywhere.”
  • Bully hater

    well, I certainly would not take his advice kids, this is coming from someone who was not only bullied, but watched it happen to others too. If you help someone who is being bullied then the bully will then turn on you and start ripping into you everyday too. Now, going to the teacher, your parents or anybody like that won’t help you either, because not only will every other kid think your a complete pussy for bringing the teacher and your parents into it, they will probably start bullying you because you brought “the adults” into it. The ONLY things you can do to stop a bully is to either try and stay out of their way as much as you can, or stand up to them and pray to the stars that you win. If you do win, then the bully will most likely leave you alone, if you don’t win, then you will just have to put up with it and tough it out until you leave school. It’s harsh I know, but there really are NO other choices, that’s the reality of it.
