My Take
Daffney, born Shannon Spruill, occupies a tender place in my mind. The original scream queen of wrestling, she clawed her way to becoming only the second woman to hold the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, and she did it with a gothic, unhinged charisma that was impossible to ignore. The detail that she was a Georgia State graduate playing that wild persona is a delicious contradiction. Her death in 2021 at just 46 lands hard, a reminder of the unseen toll wrestling exacts on the bodies and minds that entertain us. I hold real respect, and real sorrow, for what she gave.
