The Dark Truth About Daffney's Final Days

[@AgeOfWrestling]

Do you think TNA should be held responsible for Daffney’s death?

[@JustRegga]

@@AgeOfWrestling honestly its tough to say because mental health does take a big part of it personally however i truly can’t say anything

Yes, it’s their fault that she had so many concussions

[@FMAlchemist]

Yes

[@Beastpoker20]

I agree tna should’ve been awared by the sign of dafneys mental illness comcousions

[@LoadBulking]

Concussion after concussion and TNA did nothing to help her with her medical bills. They kept on pushing her to the limit and that caused irrevocable damage that caused her to to take her own life. Companies don’t care about human lives, they care about the financial bottom line. The whole Daffney situation is an example of that. Such a sad ending.

[@AgeOfWrestling]

I agree, TNA was the party that pushed her to the edge time and time again and they didnt take care of her concussions. Absolutley scummy of them.

[@NuMetalfan1996]

TNA treated her like she was a Deathmatch wrestler, she always took the nasty bumps. So unfortunately I do put TNA partly responsible for this. I’m not against these types of bumps, but if a wrestler doesn’t want to do certain bumps, then they are well within their rights to say no, and Daffney was pressured into doing a bump she didn’t want to do. I’m a huge fan of the women’s wrestlers of the 00’s era as they don’t get the recognition they deserve. TNA had imo the best women’s roster in wrestling history from 2007 to 2012.

[@AgeOfWrestling]

Yeah, she was pressured into taking those bumps. It’s one thing the fact that she agreed even though she was pressured, it’s a completely different thing that TNA didn’t help with her medical bills

[@Oldschool1943]

*dixie took advantage of daffney

[@iamcasihart]

@@AgeOfWrestlingas much as I love and respect Mick Foley, I’ve long been very disappointed in him for encouraging Daffney to do that one. That was so inconsiderate, dumb, and shitty. He could’ve died when he had his big moment from the HIAC match with Taker. I’m thankful he didn’t die and he’s still here with us. But to encourage anyone else to do it, let alone a woman, is irresponsible and idiotic. I’m a feminist of the old school variety, but even I recognize and understand the differences in how we women are built and how men are built. It’s wild to see a lot of the Japanese death match stuff that these tiny, petite women perform! It’s impressive and badass as fuck, but damn. It couldn’t be me. Though, I have not personally seen any other women pro wrestlers who take big dives and high spot bumps like the one Daffney was convinced to take. Anyone is free to correct me, as I am certainly not an expert.

Foley convincing Daphne by referencing his hell in a cell spot was absolutely disgusting. He knew well nobody would remember that spot

[@AgeOfWrestling]

Yeah I guess you could say he manipulated her into doing the spot

[@mattphoenix4702]

I’m not just saying it because I loved Foley as a kid but… he isn’t exactly all there himself. He has a lot of the same issues, his own decline after his retirement is pretty uncomfortable since really it was the fans of the time that were pushing for this extreme, bloody, violent, body-breaking style. Again, not excusing him for doing it. But maybe Foley isn’t the best person to be taking advice from. If concussions were sandwiches, he’d be a picnic.

The day when she lived streamed for the last time was so sad… I wish she knew how much she was loved

[@AgeOfWrestling]

She was very loved

[@YerpDerp17]

TBH I think she was aware, but by that point it didn't matter because the concussions and probably CTE had ate away at her mentally and physically. She was aware of all the phone calls and concerned people moments before taking her own life. She knew people cared. But depression is no joke, especially when caused by a diagnosed mental illness, or a depression caused by physical or mental injuries. And with her wanting her own brain to be looked and studied at after death shows her level of awareness of the situation. She was probably really suffering badly because of her concussions and injuries sustained wrestling. I don't at all think it was from a lack of not feeling loved. When someone is in constant pain, mentally, physically, or both, and there is no cure for it, it can really weigh a person down after time, to where they will do anything to make it stop. It's not selfish, and the action shouldn't be judged. But at the end of the day, she was simply seeking relief, and its extremely saddening that it all had to play out this way.

[@melasnexperience]

@@YerpDerp17 Worst thing is, even without CTE, depression convinces you that people are just lying or being polite and don't actually mean what they say. It's a terrible place to be.

[@iamcasihart]

@@YerpDerp17Yep. That’s the worst part. Most people can be out of their minds and oblivious. To be struggling with mental illness made worse by head trauma and to be that self-aware to know it? That’s devastating.

Daffney is a sad story. She was from the wrong era - during her time, WWE was only interested in T&A models as “divas” instead of the diversity that we see today in women’s wrestling. TNA took advantage of her and made her do crazy stunts that accelerated her mental decline so she could keep her spot, AND to add insult to injury, she got a low payout. Like Chyna, Daffney was too nice for the business. 😞

I had such a huge crush on her. I would watch WCW and later TNA just to see her. She was very talented and beautiful. From the interviews I've seen of her she was a really nice person in real life. If things turned out differently and she had come around in a different era and had better luck she probably could have made it big in WWE. It is a tragedy and an absolute shame what happened to her. I was deeply shocked and saddened when I heard the news. She had a lot of bad breaks. Something tells me that she would have been better off living a quiet life, getting married and having kids. I think her life wouldn't have taken such a dark turn.

Age of Wrestling, I always look forward to your brilliantly written, informative, honest content. You are never melodramatic, and your voiceover is riveting and soothing. Thank you for honoring this woman. I didn’t know of her until she died, sadly. I just wasn’t following wrestling during her peak. I’m sorry I missed her work, but I suppose I could at least go on Peacock and see her work on WCW ( I’m pretty sure WWE also puts the WCW content on Peacock, too). Daffney was clearly so damn talented as both an actress and a pro wrestler! She gave her ALL to the work she did, and they gave her no real help and support during and after. This woman was just 3 years older than me. I struggle with mental health issues and chronic pain, too, so I profoundly empathize with women like Daffney, Sensational Sherri, Chyna, Ashley M., and Miss Elizabeth (obviously Elizabeth never wrestled or received concussions in the business, but it’s quite likely she was abused by both Randy and Lex, with there being some evidence to support that Lex beat her in the face). Regardless, I have so much empathy and regard for Daffney. What a talent! Thank you for your great content, and thank you for never shying away from the hard and painful truths. This is so respectful of and considerate for Daffney. Thank you! 🙏 💛

I have CTE from accidents over the decades nothing to do with wrestling just assault, sports, and car accidents and suffer a little of what she went through so can understand her situation. Also, tried to self-delete twice since the last head injury back in 2012/3. I can't even remember when it was since I have memory loss due to the last head injury. This is something I really hate about wrestling though having been a fan since mid 1980s, I wish more control is placed on these companies since these people are actors and actors are treated as employees when on tv shows.

And Bubba Ray Dudley First he nearly injured Stacy Kiebler by botching the powerbomb to the table and he trained Rosie Lottalove to severly injured Daffney by using a sit down slam to her head and Bubba Ray Dudley blamed Daffney for Rosie's release and Daffney has been through hell with everything happening to her and he is the the one at fault for training Rosie the way he did

@@AgeOfWrestling which expose ur bias narrative when the blame soley goes to dixie bcuz she was the one that made all of those decisions not the company itself

If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t WWE (for all of their evil) cover 100% of injuries that happen in the ring? It’s inexcusable for TNA not to do the same. Daffney literally went out the same way Junior Seau did 😢. As dark as this may seem, I’m glad she documented this so experts can be further informed on CTE. That alone showed how giving of a person she was.

WWE does handle all their talent's medical expenses. They have for years.
