Former WCW valet Daffney comments on her recent TNA appearance, Awesome Kong, and her career

Daffney explained during a Baltimore Sun interview that she wanted to show a more serious side of her character when she appeared on TNA Impact last week. "Yeah, I wanted to be taken seriously," she said. "I’ve heard from so many people, 'Well, we didn’t like the scream.' I wanted to show that I don’t really do that anymore. I don’t think people believe that, so I’m like, 'Well, just watch and see.' And I spoke on a normal voice, which I didn’t do for years."

She also discussed working with Awesome Kong and her stiff style. "To be honest with you, she is a complete professional," Daffney said. "I don’t know if stiff is the right word. You don’t leave a match with her going, 'Oh my God, I can’t walk' or 'I’m hurt.' She is a very talented woman. I think that every woman that she gets in the ring with, if given the opportunity to do what she wants to do, she elevates the person. Me being fortunate enough to know how to work her, I was prepared for how she works." To read the full interview, visit BaltimoreSun.com.
