Speaking through her official Facebook page, former WCW and TNA Wrestling star Daffney (Shannon Spruill) noted that she will be undergoing neck fusion surgery on Thursday to fuse her C-5 and C-6 vertebrae to fix an extrusion that is pressing upon her spinal column. Spruill noted that she had been dealing with pain for some time to the point that she could not think straight or sleep, even with medication and that after getting an epidural and finding that it did not relieve any of her pain, was sent to the spinal surgeon by her pain management doctor and that the doctor examined her and immediately scheduled her for surgery.

“This whole thing seems surreal and it’s not really sinking in, yet I’ve been thinking hard on it and can honestly say that I’m at peace with everything, “ wrote Spruill. “Isn’t neck surgery a rite of passage for a professional wrestler anyway?”
