WCW - Shannon Spruill / Daffney
Shannon Spruill the wild and crazy Daffney of the WCW.
Shannon Claire Spruill was born on July 17, 1975 in Wiesbaden, Germany.
I bet her parents never thought she'd be on TV yelling and screaming in a straight jacket.
Daffney took insanity to a whole 'nother level. She was first shown on Nitro sitting on a bed chanting David Flair's name.
She did her share of gimmick matches on WCW.
A mixed tag team match with her and Crowbar against WCW World Cruiserweight Champion Chris Candido and his girlfriend Tammy Lynn Sytch.
Crowbar and Daffney won, making them co-champions.
Daffney later faced Crowbar in a match which she won after Candido came into the ring and hit Crowbar with a sitout piledriver.
That made Daffney the second woman ever to hold the Cruiserweight Championship.
Daffney later lost that title when Miss Hancock (Stacy Keibler) interfered in a three way match between Daffney, Lieutenant Loco and Disco Inferno.
This led to a feud with Miss Hancock that led into the first ever Wedding Gown match, which Daffney won.
After that she had a short feud with Shane Douglas's valet, Torrie Wilson, but Daffney rarely wrestled again.
Daffney was released by WCW on February 2, 2001 due to budget cutbacks about a month before the WWF bought them out.
