Daffney is best known for her time with World Championship Wrestling between 1999 and 2001, where she won the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from 2008 to 2011.

RIP Daffney.

She told me she loved seeing the video I posted of her accidentally winning the cruiserweight title from @wcwcrowbar, on the 20 year anniversary of the moment last year, as it reminded of the fun she had in WCW. pic.twitter.com/QJcfCmXjNy
