It's cool. I suppose 'pissed' could work as well, hell, I'll be pissed as well, if I just found out I kicked the bucket.

I have many fond memories of the Triple Threat as Douglas, Bigelow, and Candido. I always thought that is when they were at their strongest. When I first saw the topic, I was thinking to myself, "Damnit, another one that couldn't stop with the drugs." 33... he was still in his prime as a wrestler.

I'm sure Shane will have a 10 bell salute at the reunion show. I really wish I could go... even more than I wished I could before.

RIP Mr. No Gimmicks Needed

I won't even say what I'd like to to you out of respect for the topic.

However:
A) I stated that I wasn't changing the subject in my post, and
B) I'm not trying to stir shit. Apparently you are by posting that.

I would say that who injured Chris would be a main topic for discussion as well, considering the fact that the thread is about Chris' life, and events that occured during it, including the injury that may / may not have indirectly lead to his unfortunate death. I meant no harm by providing discussion.

Now then; I remember a while back Chris worked a show in Florida with Norman Smiley and a few others. It was one of his first shows back from being over in Puerto Rico for a spell. Anyhow, everyone who worked the show had nothing but nice things to say about him - and couldn't get over how he changed his ways. Shame that it had to happen now when he was back on track.

I remember talking with Dr. Tom Prichard once about Chris. Dr. Tom said that it was unfortunate that Chris was all over the place, because he was a solid worker, and had potential, but he continuously shot himself in the foot at all the turns. He said he wished that he would've had more time to work with him, and that they could've done more. I guess it shows that even when his life was 'out of control', people could still see through to the potential of the guy underneath.

At least Chris gets to go out on a good note, and he didn't pass away (as a great deal of people speculated he would) under shadier circumstances with his life in ruin.

Like I made mention of, if you want to discuss the factors of his death, look at Chris' decision to travel so soon after surgery. IMo, that's far more incriminating than the person that wrecked his ankle.

I'd rather, mind you, see another thread discussing these issues. I've always preffered leaving tribute threads as they're intended to be. Tribute threads.

So no more talk about the cause/the effect in this thread.

WOW.

That is fucking creepy. I was just talking to my mom about 20 minutes ago and she says to me, "Do you know of a wrestler named Chris Candido?" and I was like, "Uhh, yeah". Then she told me. Well, to make a long story short, my mom is apparently pretty good friends with his mother as they went to the same medical school where my mother teaches. Why couldn't she have told me when he was alive goddamnit!?

RIP Chris

I was looking at the main rumor page and seen right away "Chris Candido passes away" and "Candido's brother speaks on his death" and I was like "what the hell?".....

It's definetely a shock. While I won't go in-depth about how good I thought he was or wasn't, I will say it was a shock. You don't expect young healthy wrestlers to die all of a sudden. Damn shame and big loss for TNA. Candido was one of the high points of watching their actual wrestling matches[nevermind the horror they call "entertainment"]. RIP, Candido[damn, will the pro-wrestlers' death list EVER stop? I dread to even think about who will be next ]....

Just thought you all might like to read this.

----------------------------------

From declarationofindependents.net



One of Chris Candido's best friends, who actually grew up with Chris, "The Hardcore Chair Swinging Freak" Balls Mahoney, made these comments, regarding Chris's death:


I am sorry that this has happened. I am in a state of, well, I haven't slept, eaten or anything. I am in Milwaukee Wi. working for another old friend of ours, Carmine DeSprito/Mid America Wrestling. The only reason I am here instead of home with the Candidios is because when Chris and I were little kids, Carmine was a slightly bigger kid around the biz. We have been friends for almost 20 years. If this was any other promotion I would be home crying still.

Chris is, was and always shall be the greatest professional wrestler I have ever seen. The fact that we were brothers and shared each others families only made our relationship stronger.

My thanks to all those wrestlers and fans who have gone out of their way to give their sympathies to myself, Johnny, Tammy, Peggy, Greg the Stinger, Don Candido (Chris' father) Jizelle and the sisters and all the family I give my uncoditional love to.

To Johnny, you are my brother and I will always love you. Tammy, I will always be there for you. You are my sister. Now and forever.

Last night I went to the Church where I was molested when I was a child, knelt on the steps and said a Christian prayer for my best friend in this world. Chris, if somehow you know what is going on now and what I am writing well I will always love you. My body will have CC No Gimmicks Needed forever tatted on my person so I will never let anyone forget you.

I love you Chris and my life is richer for having been your friend partner and brother.

Later on man


Jonny Rechner (Balls)

Just plain wow. Suffice to say, I didn't see this coming. For a young star who'd overcome his personal problems to suddenly take flight from this world is just tragic.

I'm glad that it wasn't his former habits that caught up to him. At the same time, I'm speechless to hear that he's passed, so young in his life. My sympathies go out to his family and friends, and I can only say Rest in Peace as well. I suppose he would have wanted to go out this way, and for that, I think we can be happy for him.

You can't blame Siaki. Everyone who steps in the ring knows the dangers before hand. It wasn't the injury but the surgery which cause Candito's death. Just an unfortunate accident.

Most northeast indy companies have done a 10 bell salute over the past couple days in remembrance of Candido.
