Francine Fournier

Early life Francine was born on February 19, 1972. She grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she attended West Catholic Preparatory High School in West Philadelphia. She became a fan of professional wrestling as a teenager, attending events at the Spectrum. Francine made her first ECW in-ring appearance in 1994 under the name "Miss Montgomeryville", portraying a beauty pageant winner who acted as a guest timekeeper until being chokeslammed by 911.

In summer 1995, Francine debuted in ECW at Barbed Wire, Hoodies & Chokeslams as a devoted fan of Stevie Richards and later became his manager and on-screen girlfriend.

On July 13, 1996, at Heat Wave, Francine turned on The Pitbulls and became the manager of Shane Douglas. The Pitbulls gained their revenge by superbombing her through a table. At Holiday Hell '96 in December 1996, Francine and Douglas defeated Tommy Dreamer and Beulah McGillicutty in a mixed tag team match; the two teams faced one another repeatedly until mid-1997.

In 1999, Francine began managing Tommy Dreamer. In mid-1999, Francine feuded with Steve Corino, whom she defeated in multiple singles matches.

On April 22, 2000, at CyberSlam, Dreamer defeated Taz to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Following the match, Francine and Raven came to ringside to congratulate him. As Dreamer celebrated with Raven, Justin Credible and Jason attacked them, resulting in an impromptu championship bout between Dreamer and Credible. The match ended when Francine aligned herself with Credible by low blowing Dreamer, enabling Credible to pin him for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Francine went on to manage Credible until ECW closed in April 2001.

NWA Total Nonstop Action (2002) On June 26, 2002, Francine participated in the NWA Total Nonstop Action (NWA TNA) lingerie battle royal for the Miss TNA Crown. On TNA's debut weekly PPV, Francine and Elektra had an in-ring argument, leading Elektra to name Francine the reason for ECW's bankruptcy. In the match, Francine was eliminated by Elektra, Shannon and Miss Joni. She was upset that she lost, and that Ed Ferrara touched her breast, so she began to whip Ferrara with his own belt. Francine then got back in the ring and started to whip Taylor Vaughn with Ferrara's belt after she won the match.

The next week the two women had a match against each other. Francine took a leather strap out of her boot and started to whip and choke Taylor with it. Referee Scott Armstrong grabbed it and took it away but Taylor grabbed it from him and proceeded to whip and choke Francine with it. Armstrong tried to stop her, but Taylor hit him too, causing her to be disqualified. Commentator Ed Ferrara got into the ring to help Francine, telling her she was the winner. Francine then put Ferrara's hand on her breast and slapped him for touching it, then whipped him with the leather strap.

Two weeks later Francine attacked Jasmine St. Claire while she was being interviewed by Goldy Locks. The two had a match later that night which resulted in both women being stripped to their underwear. It ended in a disqualification after interference by The Blue Meanie and Francine was taken away on a stretcher.
