The Chris Candido Story: Deception and Redemption Before Death

The story of Chris Candido is one of heartfelt dedication, betrayal, redemption, and eventual heartache.

Every rumor was addressed, and no page was left unturned. This is the story of Chris Candido, as told by his brother, Jonny.

My brother Chris from day one was my idol. Practically all he did was lift weights and wrestle.

For the two of us, playing was: lifting weights, wrestling, doing all that in the backyard, going to the beach, and catching some waves. It was pretty much ideal, man, growing up in our house.

Me, my mom, my sisters, and friends would all be there, and we just pretty much hung out all of the time. It was a really ideal time to be growing up."

"The reports are wrong. It wasn’t a blood clot that killed Chris."
