Francine was one of the most popular valets in ECW. Recently, the star sat down for an interview with WINCLY to discuss topics ranging from having Paul Heyman to a boss to WWE’s plans for her.
Her thoughts on Paul Heyman:
“Oh my gosh, he was the best boss I ever had. Without Paul, there would be no Queen of Extreme. He gave me the ball and I was able to run with it but I wouldn’t have had that opportunity without Paul. He was so approachable. He listened and cared about my opinion. He was always easy to reach. I can’t say enough good things about Paul Heyman. I’m thankful he came into my life.”
Francine on how WWE tried to get her to come in as Sister Love and pair her with Brother Love:
“What I was told was they were looking for me to come in as Sister Love. A man named Ed Cohen was calling me and he worked in the [WWE] office…He kept telling me they were using models or women in the area for that show, but they wanted one girl that was specific for the character. My name kept coming up in meeting because they saw my work for ECW. When I wasn’t at home to take the calls he would talk to my mom as I was still living at home at the time and I was in my early 20s. He would tell my mom that WWF would pay me so much more than ECW. I would come home and my mom would say, ‘That nice man Ed Cohen called and he said you can make more money under Vince than under Paul.’ I was like, ‘Mom, stop.’ I had no desire to leave [ECW].”
