Taz welcomes ECW original, “The Queen of Extreme” Francine to the show.
Taz points out that Francine had great chemistry with Shane Douglas right from their first night working together. Francine agrees and says that she and Douglas basically worked everyone into believing they were in a legitimate relationship at that time. She was obviously okay with fans thinking that, but it still bothers her somewhat that her peers thought that because Douglas was a married man.
Francine informs that she has been in a lot of locker rooms throughout her career, but the original ECW locker room was her favourite. She admits that she was very uncomfortable in WWE, and she would often hide in the building to avoid people. She would go to catering to eat as quick as possible, and then she’d go hide again.
Francine points out that she never wanted to say no to people when they asked her to do certain things on ECW programming. She felt that the more she did, the more people would think she deserved to be in that locker room. The only time she said no was on one of the last PPVs when Paul Heyman asked her to fall from top of ladder to the outside of the ring and through a table. They weren’t getting paid at the time and there was no insurance to cover her if she broke a bone or got injured, so she had to say no.
That sums up today’s episode of The Taz Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
