Summary

As The Franchise is currently on tour in Australia and unable to record an episode this week we figured how about finding a guest host that is only fitting to fill the Franchise's headsets and that is the woman who may know him better than anyone else in the wrestling business, his former valet and manager, "The Queen of Extreme" Francine. There is a ton to cover in the podcast, including WWE's recent usage of "The Triple Threat" name (refer back to Episode 60 for Shane's thoughts on that topic) but in an interesting and very compelling turn of events, Francine opens up about tweets she made regarding past body-shaming and unkind sentiments written about her during the hey-day of ECW by dirt sheet writers and the very strong effect that had on her as a female striving to survive in a very tough industry in quite possibly the biggest era in the long history of the business. Francine also shares stories about how much work she put into the job she loved of entertaining the wrestling fans of ECW and relives some classic moments from her career and gives a few key details on stories we've heard...but never from the Queen's perspective.

More will be announced in the coming weeks regarding some HUGE promotions we are working on to bring the impressive line of Figures Toy Company Legends of Wrestling and Rising Stars of Wrestling figures directly to our listeners. Their Rising Stars of Wrestling and Legends of Professional Wrestling figure lines include stars such as Tama Tonga, Sami Callihan, Chris Hero, Joey Ryan, Jerry Lynn, Jim Cornette, and of course, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas.

So I'm sure you had a couple other names that you wanted to throw out there. So it's your turn now to name the show for the night that you get to be the host. Um, no, I like two men and a lady. I think that's cute. Remember the movie two men and a, or three men and a baby? I do, yeah. It's two men and a lady. I think that's really cute because, well, some people don't think I'm a lady, but I think I'm a lady. So let's just go with that. I like it.
