R.I.P CHRIS CANDIDO 1972-2005

Apr 29, 2005 12:05

One of the greats in the sport of Pro Wrestling Chris Candido passed away last night. He was a former WWF Tag Team champ, ECW tag and tv champ and many other titles in other respected wrestling feds. I just saw him wrestle on Sunday where broke his ankle in the opening match, i can't believe he's gone....you will be missed!!!
*holds up the triple threat sign to the sky*

Early Friday morning, Chris Candido's brother Johnny posted the following message to fans on the USAProwrestling.net website:

"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."

Another update later....too depressed right now :(
