I have to admit that when I first heard of the official resurrection of ECW on the Sci-Fi channel I was especially excited to see on of my favorite performers, Francine Fournier otherwise known to fans as “The Queen of Extreme”.

Unlike most “divas” at the time, Francine wasn’t afraid to put in a little work as well as prance around in next to nothing. Cat fighting, groin kicking, getting put through tables, you got it all with Francine. Watching her swing a chair was, shall we say stimulating, to put it mildly:

Once ECW folded, Francine was out of work and fans could pretty much only see her on various websites including the now defunct foreverfrancine.com and the infamous Missy Hyatt soft-core porn site MissyhyattandFrancinetv.com.

I was of course elated to hear of her return but as the weeks went on, and Francine didn’t appear, I began to get worried. Barbie Blank’s push, I thought, was evidence that the Queen was pushed to the side for younger fare. This was an especially depressing thought because I’m a year or so older then her.

I’d not seen her in a while, and images of haggard, twisted crones danced in my head. If she was too old to parade around naked, I must be too old to even get out of bed in the morning. After all, we’re in our 30’s; we’re positively ancient.

But then she appeared, and she looked like this:

Needless to say it was a great load off my mind.

Anyway Obsessed With Wrestling, as usual, has the skinny on all thing Francine related and she of course has a MySpace page, but then again who doesn’t.

Why she would use a MySpace account as her official home on the web when you can get a Dreamhost account so cheaply is beyond me.
