Career
Francine was hired by Extreme Championship Wrestling in December 1993, and trained with JT Smith at the ECW House of Hardcore training school, of which she was the first graduate. In the summer of 1995 she debuted in ECW as a devoted fan of Stevie Richards, and she later became his onscreen girlfriend and manager. Richards eventually turned on her, siding with Raven and his valet, Beulah McGillicuty. She gained a measure of revenge by leading The Pitbulls to a victory over Richards and Raven for the ECW Tag Team Championships.
On July 13, 1996 at Heatwave, Francine turned on The Pit Bulls and became the manager of Shane Douglas, who she twice helped become ECW World Heavyweight Champion. She remained at the side of Douglas until he left ECW to return to World Championship Wrestling, at which point she became the manager of Tommy Dreamer. In 2000 she left Dreamer and managed Raven, then Justin Credible until ECW declared bankruptcy in March 2001.
On June 26, 2002 Francine participated in the Total Nonstop Action Lingerie Battle Royal. She made appearances with Major League Wrestling in 2003, and is currently involved with the Women's Extreme Wrestling (where she is a "General Manager") and Hottest Ladies of Wrestling promotions.
Francine is scheduled to be part of the ECW reunion show.
