Daffney’s Daughter Refused to Participate in Dark Side of the Ring Episode About Her Mother

Daffney’s tragic death in 2021 left a lasting impact on the wrestling world, but her daughter Jamie Lynn Senegal is making it clear she wanted no part in the Dark Side of the Ring episode focusing on her mother.

Senegal took to Twitter to reveal her decision, explaining why she chose not to participate.

“With all due respect I couldn’t be a part of this and cannot watch this. Please do my mom right. Couldn’t as in didn’t want to be and refused to partake,” Senegal wrote.

Daffney, whose real name was Shannon Spruill, was a standout performer in WCW, TNA, and various other promotions throughout her career. Her final recorded match took place on April 10, 2011, where she defeated Sammi Lane at a PWF event in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

As Dark Side of the Ring revisits the highs and lows of Daffney’s life and career, Senegal’s decision to step away from the project reminds people of the personal toll these stories can take on those closest to the subjects.

Daffney’s legacy in wrestling is undeniable, but her daughter’s plea for respect serves as a powerful reminder of the real-life pain behind the spotlight.
