L’annonce du décès de l’ex-lutteuse Daffney Unger, à l’âge de 46 ans, a semé la consternation dans le monde de la lutte professionnelle.
La WWE a souligné le triste événement.
“WWE is saddened to learn that former WCW star Shannon Spruill, known to sports-entertainment fans as Daffney, passed away at the age of 46.
Spruill gained worldwide recognition when she first arrived in WCW in November 1999 as Daffney, aligning herself with David Flair and Crowbar. Shortly after making a name for herself, Daffney made history in May of 2000 when she became only the second woman to hold the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. With her signature scream and ever-changing style, Daffney would go onto become a mainstay of the independent scene for more than two decades.
WWE extends its condolences to Spruill’s family, friends and fans.”

Don’t feel much like tweeting about wrestling today. Remember, you’re important. Ask for help. Mental, physical, spiritual, emotional. Take care of each other.

Gutted over the passing of sweet Daffney. She was always so kind to everyone I ever saw her interact with. Sending love to everyone she brought so much joy to. I know this truly hurts so much of our community❤️
