Former ECW valent Francine was interviewed by James Guttman for ClubWWI.com. "I didn't care if they offered me $10,000,000," she said regarding the prospect of working for WWE. "I always wanted to stay with ECW. As a matter of fact, less than a year - I wasn't even with ECW for a year - and WWF was calling me because they wanted me to do a thing with Brother Love.



"The pitch was that they were going to call me 'Sister Love' and paint me red. I was just going to walk with Bruce Prichard (Brother Love) to the ring. And the guy - it was so long ago - it might have been Ed Cohen. He's not there anymore, the man I was dealing with, and he would call me and say, 'We're always using models who are just in town. Why not just use the same girl over and over. And we heard good things about you.'



"And I was still really really green. I don't think I was in the business a year and I was still at my other job. And when I was at my other job, they would call and talk to my mom. My mom would say, 'Oh. That guy Ed called. He's such a nice guy. Maybe you should leave ECW. There's more money to be made in WWF. ' And how do you explain? My mom knew nothing about the business. I'd say, 'I like it here. I'm just getting accepted here.' …and that was the first time I was called."



Francine went on to explain the second time WWE came calling in 2001 after ECW's demise and the angle they wanted her to work. You can hear it all in her uncut 40-minute ClubWWI.com shoot.
