BULLSH**: Honky Tonk Man / WWE Legends Deal; JR Working w/o WWE Contract; Reasons Behind Francine Release
Since Penn & Teller entertained me with a show based on BULLSH**, we figured why not us too. Normally we just leave off the website false news reported elsewhere. But since so much of it has occurred the last few days, I decided to post this article. Keep in mind that none of the following was ever reported here. But in case you read it elsewhere, we figured to advise you of its falsities. Hence our version of BULLSH**, which will post on the site once in a while.
First comes rumors that Jim Ross working WWE without a contract. Several sites have reported this, however the webmaster of JR's site has advised the reports to be untrue.
Next comes the Honky Tonk Man signing a WWE Legends Deal being reported just about everywhere. That is false as well. The fact is that Honkytonk Man signed a deal with Jakks Pacific to make a wrestling figure. His deal is strictly with Jakks Pacific, and not with WWE whatsoever.
Finally comes Francine. Wow she can't get a break. Rather than post all the nonsense floating around about her release from ECW, why not let Francine dispel them in her own words. The following is from Francine herself, which she posted on her Myspace page:
LOL @ some rumors going around...
I wasn't even going to point these out but so many of you are asking about it. There have been plenty of RUMORS as to why I no longer work for WWE. Here are a few of them:
"Apparently Francine was asked to do pre-show training with agents Steve Keirn and Fit Finlay and she wanted no part of it."
This couldn't be further from the truth. I was NEVER asked to do any training while I was there. If something needed to be done, I would of did it because I am a team player. Also, I never really got to know Fit. I would shake his hand and say hello, but that's it. I do respect him for all he has done, especially with the women. I just never had a chance to work with him. Steve on the other hand was very helpful to me. We would discuss the angles and what they wanted from me. But neither of them asked me to train, ever. So no, this isn't true.
"Francine was released because of her poor backstage attitude and because she wanted to be reinbursed for her tanning appointments."
This one cracks me up. I was told that I had a great attitude backstage because I was so patient and because I didn't complain about not being used. As for asking about being reinbursed, I NEVER asked for anything to be taking care of. I knew that wasn't part of the deal, so why would I ask for it? Another false rumor.
Why some wrestling websites post false stories is beyond me. Nine times out of ten you are all reading something that isn't true. Ah, freedom of speech. Sometimes it good, sometimes it's just untrue.
I want you all to know that I am the happiest I've ever been now. I can't say how much longer I will be involved in wrestling, but whatever I decide, I will be sure to post it here first. Love you all :)
Francine
