CHIRS CANDIDO BIO!
Hometown: Spring Lake, NJ
ECW World Tag Team Championship (with Lance Storm)
Back in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Chris Candido is looking to avenge what
has been a stressful year for himself and Tammy Lynn Sytch.
The grandson of wrestling legend "Popeye" Chuck Richards, Candido is perhaps
one of the most technically gifted performers in wrestling today. Candido can take
you out on the mat, or he can take to the air. Deceptively strong for his size,
Candido can overpower men much larger than his 5'8" frame.
Utilizing the "Blonde Bombshell," a top rope powerbomb named for his fiance
Tammy Lynn Sytch as his favorite finishing maneuver, Candido is a former ECW
World Tag Team champion with Lance Storm. That once-promising partnership
with the "Canadian Superstar," however, sent Candido into a downward spiral.
After a nasty breakup, ECW refused to compromise the integrity of the World Tag
Team championships, decreeing that partners don't have to get along to be
successful. The fractured team defended the belts for several months, but
competition in ECW proved to be too great for a duo not on the same page.
Lance Storm introduced Dawn Marie Bytch soon after, as a shot at Candido's
fiance, Tammy Lynn Sytch. The foursome feuded throughout Extreme
Championship Wrestling for months on end, until Candido and Sytch took an
extended vacation from the mental and physical stress of the situation.
Reenergized, Chris Candido, with Tammy Lynn Sytch at his side, is ready to erase
whatever doubts critics may have, and take his place as a member of the upper
echelon of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
