Francine Was Surprised By Call To Be At ECW-Themed NXT: ‘It Was Nice To Be Included’

Francine didn’t expect to be part of the ECW-themed NXT, and she says it was nice to get the call. Francine appeared at last week’s show in the 2300 Arena, and she spoke about getting the call on her Eyes Up Here Podcast. You can see a couple of highlights below, courtesy of Wrestling Inc:

On appearing at the show: “I want to thank WWE NXT, Shawn Michaels, everybody that was involved, John Cone, Johnny Russo, for including me. I’ve said it before, a lot of these WWE-ECW throwbacks, I’m not a part of. This time, being called, I was just like ‘Wow.’ I was literally surprised I got a phone call because I’m never really included in their vision of ECW.”

On WWE using different ECW talent for the show: “If you look back to everything that they’ve done, they tend to use the same people over and over again,” she continued. “I think this time was a little spritz of maybe a couple people that you would say ‘Hey!’ Everybody in the comments is like ‘Oh my gosh, we haven’t seen her in forever.’ Well, I’m kind of still around, but I haven’t been on TV in years. So to pop up, it was nice. It was nice to be included is what I’m trying to say.”
