Francine says fans still give ECW legends a warm reception.
ECW went out of business in 2001, but its legacy has remained a prominent part of the wrestling business. Various wrestlers and promotions alike have been inspired by the ECW style. Plus, ECW legends are often brought in for appearances by WWE and other companies. Meanwhile, ECW alumni frequently appear at conventions as well.
Speaking with Fightfyul's Sean Ross Sap, Francine commented on working conventions.
"Yeah, it's been really, really good for us, for ECW alum. We still get a good, warm reception everywhere we go. I am beyond shocked at that at this point, because it's been years and years and years, and you still hear the ECW chants everywhere, which blows my mind. So I'm very grateful. Let's make that perfectly clear. Very, very grateful for the reception. But I think that old school crowd will always support us, if we're 100 years old they're still gonna be there. What's nice is because of the WWE, whether it was like the network or Netflix or whatever is going on, they're still showcasing ECW talent whether it's past shows or like you said, NXT bringing us back. So ECW is never gonna die anytime soon. It's got a good shelf life and I'm really happy that I'm a part of that," Francine said.
