• Old School ECW Diva Celebrates Her Birthday
Old School ECW Diva “The Queen of Extreme” Francine (Real name: Francine Fournier) celebrates her birthday today.
Francine is famous for her career as a valet in Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1995 till the promotion closed its doors in early 2001.
Among the wrestlers she managed were “The Franchise” Shane Douglas, “The Innovator of Violence” Tommy Dreamer, Justin Credible and The Pitbulls.
The last time we saw her was during brief stints for Total Nonstop Action in 2002 and World Wrestling Entertainment’s version of ECW (on ScyFy) in 2006.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANCINE!

• Old School ECW Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School ECW Veteran Danny Doring (Real name: Daniel Morrison) celebrates his birthday today.
After being trained in the famous ECW House of Hardcore wrestling school in 1996, Danny Doring wrestled for Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1997until the company closed its doors in early 2001.
For most of his ECW run Doring was put in a Tag Team with superheavyweight wrestler Amish Roadkill and together they became the ECW World Tag Team Champions on December 3, 2000 by defeating the Full Blooded Italians.
Still to this day they are the last ever ECW Tag Team Champions, considering that – as opposed to the ECW World Title – the Tag belts were not brought back for WWE’s 2006-2010 version of ECW (on ScyFy).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY DORING!

His biggest accomplishment was winning the second annual Royal Rumble match in 1989, which was not only the first ever 30-man Royal Rumble match, but also the first one that aired LIVE on pay-per-view.
He retired from the sport of professional wrestling later that year, in late 1989.
