'''Christopher B. Candito''' (1972-2005) was an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from Spring Lake, UsefulNotes/NewJersey under the name '''Chris Candido'''. He started his career as a teenager, training under his grandfather Chuck "Popeye" Richards, working for [[Wrestling/LarrySharpe "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe]]'s World Wrestling Association in New Jersey, It was during this time that he met and fell in love with Tammy Lynn Sytch, who would be both his onscreen valet/manager and RealLife girlfriend and later wife. Candido first got noticed while wrestling in [[Wrestling/{{ECW}} NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling]] as a member of the TagTeam the Suicide Blondes, who would have two runs with the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-t.html NWA ECW Tag Team Titles]] until Candido left the promotion. He then turned up in Wrestling/JimCornette's Wrestling/{{SMW}}, which is where Sytch, under the name "Tammy Fytch", made her television debut. Candido would go on to hold every title in SMW and also won the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-h.html NWA World Heavyweight Title]] that was vacated after Shane Douglas had won it and thrown it down and proclaimed himself to be the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html ECW World Heavyweight Champion]]. In 1995, Candido and Sytch arrived in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as the [=Bodydonnas=], Skip and [[Characters/WWEDivas Sunny]], doing an [[WrestlingDoesntPay evil fitness trainers gimmick]]. Sunny would lead Skip and Zip (Dr. Tom Prichard) to the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWE World Tag Team Titles]] in 1996 before the team broke up in the fall and Candido returned to ECW. While there, he and Wrestling/LanceStorm would win a [[MeleeATrois Three-Way-Dance]] for the ECW World Tag Team Titles over the Champs Doug Furnas and Phil [=LaFon=] and Wrestling/BallsMahoney and Axl Rotten. After losing the belts to Wrestling/{{Sabu}} and Wrestling/RobVanDam, Candido and Storm would feud into late 1998 until personal issues led to Candido taking time off. He would have a feud with [[Wrestling/{{Tazz}} Taz]] in 1999 before he and Sytch, who had [[PutOnABus departed WWE in June 1998]], left for the independents. They would spend a few months in Wrestling/{{WCW}}, where Candido would win the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-c.html WCW World Cruiserweight Title]] in Spring 2000, before leaving. He eventually turned up in Wrestling/{{TNA}} in 2005. Sadly, just when it seemed like he finally had his life on the right track, he would suffer ultimately fatal injuries in a cage match at the ''TNA [=Lockdown=]'' [=PPV=], and complications from the surgery led to his death on April 28th.

* CrazyJealousGuy: He and Shane Douglas kicked Triple Threat prospect Storm out of the group, with Bigelow turning on Taz to rejoin it, because Candido claimed that Storm was trying to impress Tammy. This led to the Dream Partners Match at ''ECW Living Dangerously 98''. The Triple Threat (Douglas/Candido/Bigelow, w[=/=]Wrestling/{{Francine}}) were cutting promos running down Storm, Taz and Wrestling/AlSnow, in re a clip of him buried up to his neck at a beach talking to Head, Candido momentarily walked off camera and came back ranting into a cell phone saying something about finding a partner, with Wrestling/ChrisBenoit (who, in 1995, had been part of the original Triple Threat with Douglas and Wrestling/DeanMalenko) being mentioned in there, and his stablemates and Wrestling/JoeyStyles looked both concerned and confused.
