* RomanceOnTheSet: With Tommy Dreamer. See WomanScorned Wrestling/TommyDreamer. After Dreamer's then-real life girlfriend Wrestling/BeulahMcGillicutty retired in 1998 following The Dudleys breaking her neck in-storyline with the main page.3D, Dreamer started an off-screen relationship with Francine. This ended when Dreamer left her to go back to Beulah. Reportedly, Beulah and Dreamer had to have extra security for their real life wedding. This is what Joey Styles was referring to at ''ECW One Night Stand 2005'' when he said, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and did he ever scorn her."

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Apparently, Wrestling/{{Vince McMahon}} wasn't a fan. When he first saw her backstage in August 2006, he asked Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis who would hire someone who "looked like that." Vince believed she was not up to the "[[EveryoneLovesBlondes WWE Diva]]" standard of beauty. Of course, what that standard is is debatable given how Vince (a septuagenarian) [[{{Wrestling/Paige}} doesn't understand what a goth is.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Has claimed that, when WWE was bringing back [[Characters/WWEManagers Brother Love]] in 1995, they wanted to bring her in as "Sister Love." She rejected that idea because she was green about the business and wasn't sure about what taking the role would have done to her career. Given that BL only made six TV appearances during this time (he returned on the November 27 [taped November 20], 1995 ''Raw'' and disappeared after the January 8, 1996 [taped December 18, 1995] ''Raw''), she would not have had much of a run with the character anyway.

** Francine knows she isn't a "10" (to borrow [[Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis Johnny Ace's]] phrase) on the looks scale, and so she avoided underwear matches or stripteases when possible. When she got signed by WWE, she pushed for another managerial role, and in return she got... booked in an underwear match with girls ten years younger than her. TNA followed the same, unimaginative formula which was enough to convince Francine to hang it up.
