Granted Vampiro’s run in WCW was remarkably short and arguably did not accomplish much-didn’t win titles, never quite cracked the main event ceiling. But given what a waste of space David Flair is regarded as being, I think a solid argument could be made that a far better use for Daffney have been as part of Vampiro’s various stables. It certainly wouldn’t have been a huge leap in terms of aesthetic. But in the end it probably still wouldn’t have amounted to much without a solid direction for either of them.

I don't know if Vampiro would have wanted it, if he shrewdly would have known that she'd stand to get more over than him, for one thing, but I actually found David Flair, Daffney, and Crowbar's stuff oddly some of the most solid of that era of WCW.

I've always been a metal/goth type person, and when I was a teen in the 90's I used to get so mad because hot goth girls dating preppies was totally a thing.

Yeah, David Flair’s unhinged gimmick and pairing him with Daffney and Crowbar justified his entire wrestling career. It was one of the most entertaining acts in late WCW and was sadly cut short when Russo wanted to incorporate his real life relationship with Stacy Keibler. |

It would have made sense but Vampiro sucks out loud so I am glad they didn't
Someone book him in AEW so Sting can set him on fire again

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

I'm not sure Daffney would have worked with a "darker" edge, she was crazy over because she was looney in a fun and quirky way.
Also, as others said her/David/Crowbar as a trio worked out better than it had any right to. As Big Wiggle said, Russo of course decided to pair him with Stacey and have him feud with Ric (which nobody wanted). It's too bad, because I thought they were fun as a lower/midcard tag team. You need over acts to serve in that manner
