2001 Updates - Francine

01/05/01 Internet News
Every once in awhile we get a surprise, the women actually read the information we post here. Well this week it was Francine, who wrote to Silver (our news and rumor columnist) to clear up the above rumor:

I read your piece by some guy named George Epstein and first of all, I have not taken on another job. All I do is work for ECW. Second, I do not make $300 per show. I really wish people would get their facts straight before they print stuff. I am getting along fine and am looking forward to the PPV this Sunday night. Just wanted to clear that up. -Francine

Francine is back with a new diary entry. In this latest installment Francine talks about the current state of ECW, comments on ECW talent signing with the WWF, info on two shows Francine will be part of, Valentine's Day and Birthday gift ideas, and much more. [Ryan Clark]

A rumor is going around stating Raven's driver won't be Tori and instead it is Francine of ECW. This news is worthless as of now, but it was a Japan promoter who stated so, so the justification of this is more than that of some unknown person making it up. WWF doesn't always like to go with the obvious and it's always able to change their plans as WCW did with Animal when originally it was to be Rick Steiner. If the WWF has picked up Francine or any word of such an act is let out, I would tend to think that Francine is the culprit. For now take this for what it's worth. [Matt Boone]

Currently, the top possibilities of Raven's mystery driver are Tori, Victoria, and Francine. Francine was Raven's manager when he was in ECW. We all know that they have great chemistry together, but it would have most likely been announced already if Francine had signed with the WWF. With that being said, Tori and Victoria are the top contenders, with Tori edging out the Godfathers former ho. [Paul Banker]

For those of you who are wondering about Raven's female mystery driver, Tori is the one playing the part. The WWF may switch her with another female once she is unmasked, so the news on Francine or another ECW woman being the woman right now is totally false. [Jonathan Siderman]

08/10/01 Internet Rumor
Although the WWF has yet to express any interest in former ECW diva Francine, it appears as though down the road, the two sides could reach an agreement. There is no doubt that the former ECW "bump machine," has paid her dues in the wrestling industry, and could come into the WCW/ECW Alliance down the road. Observers feel Francine could be an asset to the federation, as she could help Tommy Dreamer get over with the fans. However, the World Wrestling Federation has yet to express any interest in the diva, due to the lack of storylines for WCW/ECW divas. [Samir Nurmohamed]

09/07/01 Internet Rumor
Former ECW manager Francine is telling sources that she was initially offered a job by the World Wrestling Federation, but turned it down. The reason given was she was told that she would have to take bumps and train to be a wrestler. Francine has not been in contact with the WWF ever since. [Matthew Boone]

11/09/01 Internet Rumor
Another federation going by the name "SuperFed" is now scheduling a debut show in Raleigh, NC on 12/14. The spokesperson for the group has been Francine and claims that the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock is under contract. However, sources have been informed Shamrock has not been doing any pro wrestling with these groups. [Amish Patel]
