Christopher Barrett Candito (March 21, 1972 – April 28, 2005) was an American Professional Wrestler from Spring Lake, New Jersey under the name Chris Candido. He started his career as a teenager, training under his grandfather Chuck "Popeye" Richards, working for "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe's World Wrestling Association in New Jersey, It was during this time that he met and fell in love with Tammy Lynn Sytch, who would be both his onscreen valet/manager and Real Life girlfriend and later wife. Candido first got noticed while wrestling in NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling as a member of the Tag Team the Suicide Blondes, who would have two runs with the NWA ECW Tag Team Titles until Candido left the promotion. He then turned up in Jim Cornette's SMW, which is where Sytch, under the name "Tammy Fytch", made her television debut. Candido would go on to hold every title in SMW and also won the NWA World Heavyweight Title that was vacated after Shane Douglas had won it and thrown it down and proclaimed himself to be the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. In 1995, Candido and Sytch arrived in WWE as the Bodydonnas, Skip and Sunny, doing an evil fitness trainers gimmick. Sunny would lead Skip and Zip (Dr. Tom Prichard) to the WWE World Tag Team Titles in 1996 before the team broke up in the fall and Candido returned to ECW. While there, he and Lance Storm would win a Three-Way-Dance for the ECW World Tag Team Titles over the Champs Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon and Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten. After losing the belts to Sabu and Rob Van Dam, Candido and Storm would feud into late 1998 until personal issues led to Candido taking time off. He would have a feud with Taz in 1999 before he and Sytch, who had departed WWE in June 1998, left for the independents. They would spend a few months in WCW, where Candido would win the WCW World Cruiserweight Title in Spring 2000, before leaving. He eventually turned up in TNA in 2005. Sadly, just when it seemed like he finally had his life on the right track, he would suffer injuries to his leg in a cage match at the TNA Lockdown PPV, and while the surgery was successful, a blood clot developed in his leg after he flew to a TNA TV taping post-surgery and he later passed away from acute pneumonia brought on by the surgery on April 28, 2005. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Chris Candido (Wrestling) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Was supposed to have faced Storm at ECW's first PPV, ECW Barely Legal, April 13, 1997, but he had suffered a broken arm, leading to Rob Van Dam being plugged into Candido's spot. Before the match, Candido went off on a rant about how he had been on the first ECW show at the ECW Arena, how a year earlier he had been at WrestleMania XII winning the WWF World Tag Team Titles, and how he came back to ECW and they had gone Extreme and were nationwide and on PPV and he was part of the show, "or, so I thought." He then talked about how he wasn't on the poster (which emphasized the Taz vs. Sabu match), saying that he hopes they tear each other part. He then went off on the Sandman, who was in the semi main, facing Terry Funk and Big Stevie Cool (Stevie Richards) in a Three Way Dance where the winner would get to challenge Raven for the ECW World Heavyweight Title in the main event. Candido called out the Sandman, except he had two objections, saying he was "allergic to cigarette smoke," and that the Sandman carries around a Singapore Cane, "Well, Singapore's a big pussy country, if you've got a Jersey cane, why don't you hit me with that?" It's this trope instead of the usual Bullying a Dragon/Too Dumb to Live since, although Sandman was in the building at the time, he did not come out and attack Candido here. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy | |
| Chris Candido (Wrestling) / int_50b9b3d0 | comment |
Crazy Jealous Guy: He and Shane Douglas kicked Triple Threat prospect Storm out of the group, with Bigelow turning on Taz to rejoin it, because Candido claimed that Storm was trying to impress Tammy. This led to the Dream Partners Match at ECW Living Dangerously 98. The Triple Threat (Douglas/Candido/Bigelow, w/Francine) were cutting promos running down Storm, Taz and Al Snow, in re a clip of Snow buried up to his neck at a beach talking to Head, when Candido momentarily walked off camera and came back ranting into a cell phone saying something about finding a partner, with Chris Benoit (who, in 1995, had been part of the original Triple Threat with Douglas and Dean Malenko) being mentioned in there, and his stablemates and Joey Styles looked both concerned and confused. | |
