Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted July 10, 2003 To follow up on a story from earlier today, WWE did indeed sign Shannon "Daffney" Ward to a developmental contract. She has been told that she can't honor her indy commitments later this month. 1wrestling.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Steviekick Report post Posted July 10, 2003 THANK YOU WWE~~!!!! This makes me very happy, even though I know she will propably wind up getting misused, but this still is great news for me. Since they really seem to like to team up the women on Raw with a midcarder (Victoria/Stevie, Mack/Jazz), I think her and Dreamer would be a good pairing. So happy now. Greatest news of the month.

Guest Jack Potts Report post Posted July 10, 2003 Huzzah! I started a thread a few months ago about this very thing. Hopefully the WWE doesn't squelch her natural charisma. I think it would be very entertaining to pair her with Lance Storm, if they can come up with a logical reason for her to be his valet/manager/sidekick.

Guest The ChriZa Report post Posted July 10, 2003 I, for one, am thrilled about the lovely Miss Ward's forthcoming appearance, and I would immensely enjoy seeing Daffney and Victoria get into it hardcore style. I'd like to see them wrestle too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 11, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Daffney on screen = Channel being changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 11, 2003 She must must must be teamed up with Victoria. And keep her as far away from Test as possible. I would rather see her as a manager/valet instead of a wrestler. Daffney should continue the screaming gimmick in WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Daffney on screen = Channel being changed ... OK, so I take it that won't be a significant loss if she's put on Raw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 11, 2003 ... OK, so I take it that won't be a significant loss if she's put on Raw? I'd prefer she be on SmackDown, as I just record the show and can fast forward anytime I see her. razazteca Daffney should continue the screaming gimmick in WWE. I hope your bunions smell like onions for suggesting that. Just her on the sidelines doing that ruined a good match for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Korgath Report post Posted July 11, 2003 This is good news. WWE has been debating whether they were going to sign Daff for years and I'm glad they took the plunge. I'm also glad they didn't hire her based on T&A like some other developmental talent *cough*NikitaFinkJackieGayda*cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2003 FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK Let her work one last ROH show please. PLEASE! I second that. She was a joy to shoot ringside at ROH too.

Guest BifEverchad Report post Posted July 11, 2003 I don't get excited or have hope for anyone's signing anymore. Thank You Vince. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted July 11, 2003 Keep in mind that she might not even be brought up to a main show. Vince seems to love sticking people that are actually ready to debut on Raw or Smackdown in developmental and keeping them there forever, while bringing in every green no talent guy immediately they sign.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 11, 2003 When was the last good match on Raw. Really she would help out some poor midcard wrestler like Val Venis or Goldust. To answer your first question, I liked HHH/RVD, but whatever... There's a difference between getting heel heat and getting "get the fuck off my screen" heat. I harbor a lot of the latter for Daffney, especially for the screaming gimmick. I can watch almost anything Vince can put in his ring, but when you have shrill shrieks filling my speakers, all bets are off. I'm likely to just go change the channel or at least hit mute cause I can't put up with that. Chances are I'll just flip away because I doubt she's going to be around any matches I was eager to see in the first place. So yeah, it is more gimmick than performer, I suppose, but I have no faith Vince won't do the most retarded thing and do that very gimmick. I shall react appropriately. In closing, I think I should also mention that this character was from the RATINGS DEATH period for WCW. There's no draw, there's no ratings boost, they already have more women on Raw than they can push at once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JHawk Report post Posted July 11, 2003 She should at least be allowed to finish her indy dates since she's already committed to them before she signed her contract. That's common sense and good for fans who have already seen she's scheduled for cards. Then again, when was the last time WWE cared what the fans thought?
