WCW and TNA's Daffney has Passed Away

46 years old... devastating news, absolutely devastating.

RIP sadly saw the video of her breaking down because I was scrolling twitter as it was going down. Simply terrible.

There has been a rumor, with some legs to stand own, saying she took her own life because she posted a video on Instagram about suicide and a clip of it is on Twitter, and it is haunting. Such a shame, and personally hits me hard as I always liked her. Hope she finds some sort of peace now.

I can't get myself to watch it, it's too much for me tbh. RIP and my heart goes out to her family. Devastating. Please please please seek mental health help if you feel you need it. Fucking tragic.

Please. Don't ever hold back from feeling sad or depressed. Let someone know how you feel; let someone listen.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Just unbelievable. It’s so sad that no one was able to get to her in time. RIP

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I was watching bits and pieces of her Instagram story earlier and was waiting with baited breathe to hear someone found her in time.

Rest in peace now, Shannon.

 

[Jimmy King]

Tragic, absolutely tragic. Truly devasting news to see. I liked the tandem of her, Crowbar, and David Flair in WCW and I liked her in TNA too.

RIP Daffney.

In addition to the number Grim posted, here is r/SuicideWatch's directory has a bunch of hotlines for places around the world and the CDC's LGBTQIA+ youth resource, which may be useful for anyone who knows a relative, or is a member of the LGBT community and isn't an adult that is in the best position right now.

I remember back when I was a kid, and I was watching this channel that broadcasted TNA shows because I was bored at the time, and I first saw Daffney, and she like immediately stood out to me. Like most of the other female wrestlers had a specific conventionally attractive look that I could only dream of ever achieving, and here was Daffney who looked nothing like them and was an all around badass in the ring. It just drew me in to female wrestling because my only other exposure was the WWE's divas division which was at the time incredibly uninteresting and was not entertaining to watch, but then I saw like what was outside the WWE and I found women that I can relate too or be my idols.

It's honestly just heartbreaking to see one of the all time female wrestlers really just pass away like that

I can't even imagine being her family and friends watching and unable to help her.

Several of her previous coworkers commented on the video and everyone including Mick Foley tweeted asking to get her help.

One of the more curious things of the broadcast is she wanted her brain donated to Boston. She knew something was wrong.

Terrible terrible news

I am so damn heart broken. R.I.P holy hell. I met her back in around 2011 or so when she was at a Rampage Pro Wrestling show. Very sweet person and was just a joy to talk to.

I am very depressed about this news. I loved Daffney since her WCW Days with David Flair. She was unique, different and tons of personality. Heck, my friends even loved her. This is why I always say to treat these wrestlers past and present with respect because you never know what they are going through in their personal life.As well as mental health wise. Daffney is star and an overall nice person. Fucked up part is that she is still very young. I will continue to show her love and support for the rest of my life. I will miss you Daffney. My condolences goes out to her family and friends that lost a good soul.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Awful news. My heart sunk last night when Blaine told me about what was going on, I was just praying for her. Really sad to hear this news. RIP Daffney.
