History Wrestling / Francine

* AnythingButThat: Has said that she would rather have a root canal than take [[Wrestling/TheEliminators Total Elimination]] again.

* WomanScorned: After Beulah retired in 1998 following The Dudleys breaking her neck in-storyline with the 3D, Tommy 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 RealLife wedding. This is what Joey 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."

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_Fournier The Other Wiki]].

** A combination {{panty|shot}} ''and'' {{sideboob}} shot as she was exiting the main event of ''Guilty As Charged '99'' (the one where Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} beat Shane for the Heavyweight title).

* ArchEnemy: Beulah [=McGillicutty=], Dawn Marie, and not just in {{Kayfabe}}. When she had her website at [=http://forevertbozsguy.simplenet.com/francine/=], in the [=FAQ=] section[[note]]Presently on [[http://www.archive.org Internet Archive]], the version of the site archived from 1998 is from right before the [=FAQ=] was added so this has not been archived.[[/note]] when asked what she really thought of Beulah and Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya, her only response was "..........................", with the webmaster noting that he took it to mean "no comment."

* AnythingButThat: Has said that she would rather have a root canal than take [[Wrestling/PerrySaturn Total Elimination]] again.

* ClothingDamage: "We always incorporated sex into everything because {{sex sells}}."
** A few of her exits were actually pornographic, such as Wrestling/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.

* 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. Don't expect her to take any bumps nowadays, though, unless she sprains her wrist while autographing.

* GroinAttack: Frequently.
** EnemyMine: She and Beulah once teamed-up to do this to Bill Alfonso.
** InvertedTrope: Dreamer once countered her attempt at a sit-down splash with a claw hold there.

* IronButtMonkey: Francine got powerbombed? Must be Tuesday.
** Even by ECW standards. The Pitbulls [=Superbombed=] her through a table. Dreamer gave her several piledrivers. Phil [=LaFon=] gave her a Tiger Driver. The Impact Players treated her to a Singapore Cane shot to the face. Bam Bam Bigelow powerbombed her, breaking her pelvis.

* LeanAndMean: She's be invisible if she turned sideways.
** In a shoot interview, Missy Hyatt [[http://thesmartmarks.com/old_site/artman/publish/article_237.shtml said]] that Francine was a nice gal but that, before she got her implants, she was so skinny that "you just wanted to shove a goddamn cheeseburger down her throat."

* MsFanservice: Among many examples: When she was in [=MLW=] in 2003, she did a promo for the MLW T-shirt which started with a close-up of her saying, "If I can't wear my MLW T-shirt," then the camera pulled back to show her sitting nude from the side with her legs pulled up to her chest and saying, "then I won't wear anything at all."

* ReallyGetsAround: No belt, no booty.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Fran nommin' on Wrestling/TerryFunk's ear was Paul's attempt at this. It's an homage to the infamous Tyson v. Holyfied match in Chicago 1997. It got a weak pop in the arena and that's about it.

** 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.

* SlutShaming: During Douglas' match with Pitbull #2 at ''ECW Barely Legal,'' the crowd chanted "She's a slut! She's a slut! She's a slut!," with Francine having no option than to walk back and forth with her hands over her ears.

** Hardly the only chant she got. There was also "She's a crack whore!" and "She's hardcore!" (a play on the traditional ECW chant of approval).

* 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."

* WomanScorned: After Beulah (Trisa Hayes) retired in 1998 following The Dudleys breaking her neck with the 3D, Thomas "Tommy Dreamer" Laughlin started an off-screen relationship with Francine Fournier. This ended when Laughlin left her to go back to Hayes. Reportedly, Hayes and Laughlin had to have extra security for their RealLife wedding. This is what Joey 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."

After ECW died, she would work in Wrestling/{{TNA}} and various independents, as well as making a surprise appearance at ''ECW One Night Stand 2005''. Wrestling/{{WWE}} brought her in for [=WWECW=] in 2006, though she was gone by October. She retired in December to start a family.

'''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.

!!! "The Queen of Tropes":

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: She and Shane did everything in their power to win the undying hatred of the Mutants, and succeeded to a good extent. It got to where the duo had to use a secret entrance so they could approach the ring without getting shanked. The reality is much 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.)
-->'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl4cydshTGo#t=1060s Brad]]''' ([[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter WON]]): She also said she wanted to thank the fans. "Whether they cheered her or booed her, they were always there for her".\\
'''Vinny''': Right! All those fans who called her a '''[[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings crack whore]]''' over and over again.

* {{Kissgusting}}: Her reaction when she realized that the masked man who had kissed her at ''ECW Barely Legal'' was not [[Wrestling/RickRude "Ravishing" Rick Rude]] but in fact was "Bulldozer" Brian Lee.

* SpiritualSuccessor: For her initial training at the "House of Hardcore", Francine picked Wrestling/SherriMartel as a template for her research. Sherri was the original heel manager to Shane, and Francine grabbed that opportunity to pump as much information as she could out of the Sensational One, who was in a professorial mood. The pair were scheduled to reunite at a convention in 2007, but Sherri died before she could attend, so Francine never got to catch up with her or even say 'thanks'.
