During a recent episode of "Eyes up here," Francine spoke about her experience at the show, which emanated from the old ECW Arena in Philadelphia. In doing so, Francine also noted a key difference between this ECW tribute show and previous ones.

“I want to thank WWE NXT, Shawn Michaels, everyone that was involved, John Cone, Johnny Russo, for including me. I’ve said it before, I’m not part of a lot of these throwbacks from WWE-ECW This time, when they called me, I was like, ‘Wow.’ I was literally surprised to get a phone call because I’m never really included in their vision of ECW.” , said Francine.

“If you look at everything they’ve done, they tend to use the same people over and over again,” she continued. “I think this time it was a little spritz of maybe a few people saying, ‘Hey!’ Everyone in the comments is like “Oh my god we haven’t seen her in forever Well I’m still here but I haven’t been on TV in years so that was nice.” to be included, that’s what I’m trying to say.
