Rosemary recently spoke with Inside The Ropes for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.

During the discussion, the IMPACT Wrestling Knockout reflected on the passing of her friend, Shannon “Daffney Unger” Spruill, earlier this year.

Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where she talks about this topic with her thoughts.

“Daffney was a wonderful, close, beautiful friend, and a beautiful soul. To be able to pick her brain and to recognize different techniques that she put forward… without Daffney in TNA, there is no Rosemary in IMPACT Wrestling, to be perfectly flat out. Without Daffney and without Roxxi Laveaux, without characters that set the precedent and paved the way for dark characters to be accepted, for the Su Yungs and the Rosemarys and the Havoks of IMPACT Wrestling now, we had to have them before.

“Coming out with the Tag Me In campaign, on top of that, Ashley Massarro and Hana Kimura and countless others that we’ve lost over the years. Enough is enough. Now is the time we talk about it and we help each other through this because, quite frankly, let’s not lose anymore.”
