The Chris Candido Story
Deception and Redemption Before Death
Every rumor was addressed, and no page was left unturned. This is the story of Chris Candido, as told by his brother, Jonny.
Part 1: The Beginnings
Jonny Candido: "To be honest, family life was the greatest thing ever. I had the ideal family. We grew up across the street from the beach, so we were always there. My brother Chris from day one was my idol."
"Chris's only other job, aside from being a pro wrestler, was being a locker boy at the beach. He used to work over at the beach across from my house, sweeping out the lockers."
Jonny Candido: "Let me just leave it at this: I’m very conflicted. I don’t want to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths about Tammy Sytch (aka "Sunny" - Chris's long-time girlfriend). But it’s like this: if you ask me the questions, I will tell you what happened.” To put it lightly: the stories Jonny shares aren't pretty.
Part 2: Drugs, Deception and Betrayal
Part 3: Redemption Before Death
Johnny: The last conversation I had with my brother Chris was, 'I’m fine, I’m fine. I don’t feel so good.' Once I grabbed his hand and realized that there wasn’t any blood flow going, that’s when I stepped back and said, 'Whoa, he’s dead…'"
