http://www.1wrestling.com/news/newsline.asp?news=22534

i didnt see anything on this on the 1st page here so sorry if it was posted

Chris Candido passed away Thursday night after collapsing earlier in the evening and being rushed to a hospital by ambulance. The cause of death is unknown at this time.

Candido had suffered a serious ankle injury at the Lockdown pay-per-view on Sunday and had surgery to repair the injury on Monday evening. Candido appeared at TNA's iMPACT taping on Tuesday night in Orlando just hours after being released from the hospital.

The news comes as an absolute shock to all of us who have worked with Chris in recent months. On behalf of everyone at 1wrestling.com, our thoughts and prayers are with Tammy and his family and friends


RIP, this sucks

Damn, another great wrestler falling victim to his inner demons. I heard he was on the road to recovery so this is really a shame. RIP

Yeah I just saw this on PWinsider.com

Quote:

TNA star Chris Candido passed away suddenly this evening in New Jersey. Candido, 33, had suffered a myriad of injuries to his ankle at the TNA Lockdown PPV last Sunday. He was said to have been in good spirits following surgery on Monday, where a metal plate and screws were inserted to fix a dislocated ankle, a broken tibia, and a broken fibula.

Candido had appeared at the TNA taping in Orlando, Florida this past Tuesday, just 24 hours after the surgery, managing the Naturals from a wheelchair to the NWA Tag Team championships. The episode is scheduled to air tomorrow on the Fox Sports Network.

It should be noted that the police department in Candido's hometown of Matawan, New Jersey would not confirm his passing.

TNA posted the following message on their website "TNA joins the entire wrestling world in mourning the untimely death of Chris Candido on Thursday."

PWInsider.com wishes to send our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Chris Candido
This is just odd. When I saw the story I thought "He died from an ankle?" but it looks like it could've been his old habits catching up with him. Very sad.

Damn

Danny Electric 04-29-2005 01:14 AM

I used to love the Body Donnas when I was a kid, that's how I will always remember him. As someone who brought me entertainment.
I remember reading a couple of days ago about him hopefully being part of the ECW Reunion PPV's. I hope they go in tribute to a great worker.

RIP

Whoa, holy shit. :(

asphyXy 04-29-2005 01:23 AM

Not cool.

Psycho C 04-29-2005 01:25 AM

Sheesh. The first real casualty this year.

RIP

PullMyFinger 04-29-2005 01:41 AM

WHOA. Literally, this came out of NOWHERE. How exactly did he die? No word on that yet?

Mr. JL 04-29-2005 01:43 AM

Fuck, he was only 33!

R.I.P.

Corndad 04-29-2005 01:53 AM

R.I.P. Sad. just sad.

Watson 04-29-2005 01:54 AM

I am absolutely stunned.........:(

What makes it all worse is I have an old ECW Tammy Sytch t-shirt hanging in my room that I bought recently at a old school wrestling nostalgia show and I looked up at it earlier and said: "Candido, ha......". Referring to how lucky he was that he was with Tammy back when she was hot. Now I come on TPWW and find out the guy's dead. I can't describe how bad that sucks. As JL said he was only 33, not even 10 years older than me and he just suddenly dies. That's crazy. Hard to grasp that he's gone just like that. My condolences go out to Tammy and the rest of his family.

Rest In Peace, Chris....................

KayfabeMan 04-29-2005 02:05 AM

WoW.

That was out of the blue. I read on a few sites that he may have had a staph infection, but there is obviously no confirmation of that yet. Sad that Candido was only 33, and seeing the effects of his choices catching up with him - as he looked quite a bit older than that.

Anyhow, RIP Chris, and I'm sure they'll do something nice for him at the 'Hardcore Homecoming' show this summer - where I heard there was speculation of a Triple Threat Reunion. Guess that won't happen now :(

Aussie Skier 04-29-2005 02:11 AM

wow! this is shocking

truth b known, i know little about Candido. In fact, i have only seen him in one match, and that was on the Mick Foley DVD.

However, after I saw that match, i remember posting on here "why doesn't the WWE hire Chris Candido, and i got mainly positive responses about them hiring him.


terrible news, RIP

RGWhat316 04-29-2005 02:42 AM

Wow, I'm actually not all that familiar with Candido since I don't usually watch TNA. But any death of a wrestler is horrible news. Dying so young is even worse. R.I.P. Chris, you will be missed.

RGWhat316 04-29-2005 02:44 AM

Just got an update from wrestling-edge.com

Chris Candido's brother, Johnny Candido, made the following statement in regards to his brother's death.

"I find it only fitting you hear the truth from me about the death of my bestfriend, brother, and soulmate. Chris died tonight due to a blood clot brought on by complications with his surgery. I just want to tell everyone that in their sorrow, find a way to be happy that he went out the way he wanted to...on top of the world, blonde, tan, and loving life up until the last minute. Every ounce of my brother loved this sport, and for him to go out 2 or 3 years ago wouldn't have been a fitting end to the life of such a determined, passionate, and benevolent human being. I truly view my brother as an angel as will all who knew him. Thanks to everyone for all your positive press, Chris went out a happy man and will forever live on as the(one of) greatest of all time. He would have had it no other way."

Wow I totally didn't see this coming.

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit, where the fuck did that come from?

R.I.P, he was way too young (33), and was a great worker. He will be pissed.</font> :(

The Fugitive 04-29-2005 06:29 AM

Pissed?

DMI 04-29-2005 06:39 AM

Why would Sonny Siaki take this hard?
