Wrestling World Reacts To The Passing Of Daffney

There’s no good thing to say about this one. This week, the wrestling world lost Daffney Unger, seemingly at her own hands, after she threatened to harm herself during an Instagram live stream. There is no positive way to look at something like this and the best thing to do is to look back at her career and see some of the positive things that others have to say about her.

Since news of Unger’s passing was reported, the wrestling world has expressed their condolences and shared thoughts and memories about her career. Several of her colleagues and friends have sent out tweets about Unger, who wrestled in Impact Wrestling, WCW and around the independent scene in a career than lasted from 1999-2011. Here are some of the reactions from the wrestling world:

"We are very sad to have to announce the passing of Shannon Spruill aka Daffney Unger @screamqueendaff. We are posting this at the request of her family. Please respect their privacy at this trying time.
I will miss you my logical sister from another mister."

I have never said this before:

My dad commited suicide many years ago, mental health is no joke.

Open up about your feelings, reach for help.

Help those who seek for help, make 'em look for professional help.

May God comfort Daffney loved ones in this moment.

Daffney was a very unique star. Check out some of her in-ring career:

TNA: Dr. Stevie with Daffney

First-Ever Knockouts MONSTER'S BALL Match! (Sacrifice 2009) | IMPACT Wrestling Full Matches

(720pHD): WCW Nitro 05/22/00 - Daffney vs. Crowbar (feat. Tammy Sytch)

Opinion: What else is there to say about something like this? There is nothing good to say about something like this and it is horrible to hear. It is the kind of thing that happens far too often and it never stops being a complete shock. If you are having any feelings or thoughts about hurting yourself, there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking for help. It can get better, and that is something everyone needs to know.
