History Wrestling / Francine

* SpiritualSuccessor: Francine picked Wrestling/SherriMartel as the template when she began training and researching the wrestling biz. Sherri was the original heel manager to Shane, and Francine took that opportunity to pump war stories out of the vet, who was in a professorial mood.

** Z-Barr "The Ultra Violent Man Whore" and his girlfriend Gorgeous George (not [[Wrestling/GeorgeWagner that one]] or [[GorgeousGeorge that]]) in the wider Philadelphia area outside of ECW. They showed up at Women's Extreme Wrestling with intentions to take it over, just to spite Francine, who worked there.
** Fellow manager [=SoCalVal=] grew up idolizing Francine but found she really didn't care for her [[WartsAndAll after a stint as Francine's assistant.]]
** WardrobeMalfunction[=/=]GravityIsAHarshMistress: At ''Holiday Hell 96,'' Shane Douglas and Francine d. Dreamer and Beulah. At one point, Dreamer had Francine set up for a piledriver and was turning around to each side of the ring so everyone could get a glimpse of what was about to happen, which was Dreamer hitting the piledriver and Francine's breasts falling out. Raised to funny because, right when Dreamer grabbed Francine by the hair to set her up for the move, Joey said, "And Dreamer has ''[[ExactWords seen enough]]'' of the Head Cheerleader."

* DentedIron: As the WWECW commentators loved to remind us, "broke her nose, broke her ribs, broke her pelvis", and never missed a day of work -- even when her paycheck bounced.

'''Jeremy''' (interviewing): [[WroteTheBook You were the first!]] You were the ''first'' to hump the ropes!

** A few of her exits were literally pornographic, such as RickRude "abducting" Francine while giving her a mustache ride, or a simulated fingerbang from Tommy. Lesbianism is where she drew the line, though, which is funny considering the Divas' gimmick.

-->'''Francine''': We always incorporated sex into everything because {{sex sells}}.

* IronButtMonkey: Even by ECW standards. The Pitbulls [=Superbombed=] her through a table. Dreamer gave her several piledrivers. Phil [=LaFon=] gave her a Tiger Driver. While facing down The Impact Players, she took a Singapore Cane shot to the face. Bam Bam Bigelow powerbombed her, breaking her pelvis.

-->'''[[Wrestling/JoeyStyles JOEY STYLES]]''': "EXCUSE ME! There's no telling what that mouth is capable of!"

* LiteralAssKicking: Her losses always ended up involving her butt in some fashion: getting spanked, whipped, or booted. And those were on her ''good'' days.

* DentedIron: As the WWECW commentators loved to point out, "broke her nose, broke her ribs, broke her pelvis", and never missed a day of work.

* WhipItGood: While being helped out the ring by TNA's Ed Ferrera following her elimination, she pretended to fellate Ed, then just [[GroinAttack punched him in the groin]] and stole his belt. She used as a whip and garrote in subsequent matches.

* LiteralAssKicking: Her defeats always ended in Francine getting spanked, whipped, or booted in some fashion.

** A combination {{panty|shot}} ''and'' {{sideboob}} shot as she was exiting through the ropes during the main event of ''Guilty As Charged 1999'' (the one where Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} beat Shane for the Heavyweight title).

** HandOrObjectUnderwear: She once did a photo shoot where she was topless and covering herself with Shane Douglas's ECW World Heavyweight Title belt.
** PantyShot[=/=]{{Sideboob}}: When she was exiting through the ropes during the match where Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} beat Shane Douglas for the ECW World Heavyweight Title at ''ECW Guilty As Charged'', January 10, 1999.
*** She once ran to the ring with the back of her dress open. Do the math.
** {{Stripperiffic}}: Tended to wear skimpy outfits.

* GoldDigger: Arguably ECW's biggest heel next to Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys, with zero scruples or allegiances worth a damn. Her performance made it clear that, as she explains in interviews, "my legs were shut if you lost the belt."

'''Francine Fournier''' (b. 1972) is a retired ProfessionalWrestling valet/manager from Bear, Delaware best known for her work in the original Wrestling/{{ECW}} from 1995-2001 as '''Francine.''' Billed as "The Queen of Extreme", she was the most visible of ECW's valets, and quite possibly the first woman to be put through a table. (Think of her as the Bizarro Wrestling/MissElizabeth.)

'''Vinny''': Right! All those fans who called her a '''crack whore''' over and over again.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: She and Shane did everything in their power to win the undying hatred of the Mutants, and succeeded to a good extent. (''SHE'S A CRACK WHORE'' *clap clap clap* ''SHE'S GOT HERPES'' *clap clap clap*) It got to where the duo had to use a secret entrance so they could approach the ring without getting shanked. The reality is sweeter and non-aggressive (...well, in Francine's case at least). She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGi7xoYaiOQ cited]] this as a big reason why she loved the heel angles.

* GagBoobs: At ''ECW [=Heat Wave=] 98'', Joey said that he had bought a new suit for the [=PPV=], that was "double-breasted, like Francine."

* KnightOfCerebus: She inspired ''so'' much verbal abuse from the crowd over the years following her initial heel turn (see below), sparking some of Joey's best material. And there was all the ''physical'' abuse she took as well, which pushed the boundaries of what women could get away with in the ring (even if some of it was in [[WouldHitAGirl bad taste]]).

She debuted in Spring 1995 as an unnamed "fan" who was interested in Wrestling/StevieRichards. This led to conflicts with Richards, his mentor Wrestling/{{Raven}} and Raven's [[{{Kayfabe}} girlfriend]] Wrestling/{{Beulah McGillicutty}}. Francine then aligned herself with the Pitbulls, guiding #2 to the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-tv.html ECW World Television Title]] in 1996. However, she turned heel on him, costing him the belt, and aligning herself with [[Wrestling/ShaneDouglas "The Franchise" Shane Douglas]]. This lasted until Douglas jumped to Wrestling/{{WCW}} in Summer 1999. Francine would second Wrestling/TommyDreamer for the next year, until she turned on him ([[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder again]]), forfeiting the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html ECW World Heavyweight Title]] to Justin Credible.
