Transcript By: Bobby “The Chosen One”
Well, folks. After 4 years of doing a wrestling talk show, it all comes down to this. My last official broadcast. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be doing stuff with the web site and the web shows. But, I retire my golden… or plastic, microphone with one of the best female performers in the past decade. A true sweet girl who just celebrated a Birthday and the original “Scream Queen,” Ms. Daffney Unger!
Daffney’s a blast to talk to. And, it was a pleasure interviewing her!

Was originally just supposed to stalk David Flair for only four weeks but soon would begin to train to become a wrestler
Graduated from Georgia Tech University .
Was a actress before entering wrestling but didn’t appear in any main stream movies
“It just pissed people off more” when asked why she switched from a laugh to a scream during here manager service of David Flair and Devon Storm (Crowbar)
Her characters on WCW television from the evil gothic chick to a later loveable gothic chick are neither her in real life
Has no idea how here character became a baby face when she was a “ultra heel”

Believes that men think she is a pussy when she steps into the ring
“I prefer to manage because there is more acting involved” she doesn’t like competing in singles matches because there is too much pressure

Only held the title for not even a month
Was upset when the skit involving David, Crowbar and herself entering Ric Flair house and messing around was edited
Doesn’t have as many shoes that Ric Flair owns
“Because I’m fat” when asked why she wore a body suit during her match against Stacy at Bash At The Beach 2000
Very self conscience about her body
Believes that no one really understood the storyline where Crowbar liked Daffney more than “just friends”
Didn’t believe the storyline was that good
Was either going to stay with Crowbar or become the manager of Christopher Daniels upon his arrival
Since Daniels would botch a springboard moonsault he wasn’t hired and angle involving Daffney was scratched
Is happy for Christopher Daniels and all of his success that he has gained
“Its always devastating being let go” when she was fired from WCW when Eric Bischoff was going to buy WCW
Offered to take a pay cut but WCW declined
Upset that WWE didn’t want to pick up her contract
Believed that TNA, in the beginning, wanted to only promote T & since WWE couldn’t
“Had a blast” at the first TNA PPV
Begged TNA to pick her up
Got picked up by WWE and got a developmental deal and was called “Lucy”
Came up with the Lucy character
“Lucy was supposed to be a gothic pinup girl” when describing the Lucy character
Very limited in OVW and couldn’t expand the Lucy character
Didn’t have chemistry with the two guys she was partnered with character wise
Suggested many character ideas to OVW but once again OVW declined
Still competes on the Independent scene
When she was let go by WWE sold her boots to her roommate Mickie James
Declared to herself she wouldn’t wrestler again
Did one show and was Daffney where she was able to relate to the crowd and she liked the reaction
Wrestling is in her blood and believes she cant walk away
The future for Daffney is hopefully still taking independent bookings
