This is a Prime Time with Sean Mooney production.

And my guest this week was one of the first female ring announcers heard around the world.

And that voice is still very much remembered and heard today.

If you have the WWE Network, welcome Mike McGirk.

Mike, great to have you on Primetime.

Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Hey, it's still there, and thank you so much.

I'm honored and really humbled that you guys have asked me

and that there's even an interest.

I can't tell you when I was doing this 30-some-odd years ago.

I never, I never, we didn't have what we have now.

So I never even dreamed that this could ever come to fruition these many years later

that, you know, and I read the stories and people will tell you, you know, I grew up with you and thank you for the memories.

I mean, it just gets to my soul because I was doing a job and trying to feed two young kids at the time

and doing something that I knew and was raised into thanks thanks to my father, Lira McGurke.

I got to drop that name.

I couldn't be there with, I couldn't, obviously I wouldn't be here without him and my mom.

But anyway, being around it and knowing how the business work, how the guys were really is the key,

is to be able to sustain in there

and knowing if it had been anybody else.

I don't know how they would have acted, but that was part of the thing that Vince liked

when we spoke.
