She’s a crack whore



The tears at the end

Dont get me wrong, Sable is hot, but there is something so gorgeous about prime Sunny that makes her unfukkwitable

I preferred Sunny in the 90s when Sable was emerging, and in hindsight, I still feel prime Sunny > prime Sable

I know Sable was more popular and considered hotter during the attitude era, and she was the preference of mainstream, but real ones knew sunny was queen

I mean Sunny’s popularity was before my time technically, but seeing old footage I can agree.

Titties

Good episode, sad to hear his brother and mother retell the story. Others didn't hold back on Tammy.

Mick Foley was useless as hell this episode.

Feels like they had to get someone who didn’t hate Sunny

 

[MenacingMonk]

Finally watching. Holy shyt, he died at 33?

Dude was in his late 20s when I saw him in XPW.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Those last words Cornette said about Candido.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Man, Heyman truly a scumbag. Had them use their own card to book shyt. It sucks they didn’t stop doing it, but I’m sure Candido’s love for the business and not letting the boys down led him to continue on.

And making Sunny do that interview.

I'm surprised Paul Heyman is in such good graces in the industry these days with talent, fans, etc.

He really seems like a dbag and dishonest person. Hell if I was Chris Candido and was on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars, there's no way me and Paul E. wouldn't have shot the fair one. you can argue, at least in a roundabout way heyman took years off dude's life

Also, it was repeated multiple times this episode and in online commentary I'm seeing that chris candido would be a star in the modern era. Tbh, I don't see it, I get that he's a fantastic wrestler and smaller guys are more popular now, but he does not have star looks or presence to me. i could see him being a journey man just the same, but appreciated more

If he created the “Chris Candido bay bay!” He would get more love than Cole. Candido is the better wrassler.

No gimmicks needed. He is a throwback. He wouldn't fit in today. Unfortunately his gimmick is sunny. And Paul e is lowest of low. Dreamer wants(ed) to shoot him then himself live on ppv.

Like, I'm ECW to the core. RVD is my favorite ever..I have all the ppvs on tape somewhere...

I knew he did everybody bad...but I never knew he did anybody that bad..that makes it worse...candido just wanted to wrestle.

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

But, Chris candido, Lance Storm...tag champs, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Tammy Lynn Bytch, Dawn Marie Bytch, one upmanship, triple threat...

Prime ECW..look into it..

 

[br82186]

He probably would have lived Longer if he stood his ground and knocked Michaels eye straight... The kliq literally bullied son out of that fed and tagged his bytch He was too much of a nice guy in a slimy business.

Cornette in tears

Don't know about Michaels, Hall, and Hunter, but Nash and Waltman said that he was cool and never deserved the shyt he got

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Nobody can be a stand up guy running ECW. You can't be the voice of reason when your employees are dropping each other through flaming tables and booked against New Jack.

It's like XPW and you saw how much of a scummy dude Rob Black was. History is gonna make Eric Bischoff look SOOOO much better than everyone else by comparison.

Wrestling is a tough business for good people to survive running it. Pretty much why anyone that has ever had a decade+ long career successfully running a company in any capacity has turned out to be a piece of shyt. How they are a piece of shyt of course varies from person to person. Even as a talent its rough.

Seems like the business has progressed a bit, thankfully. Drug and alcohol abuse seems significantly less prevalent and good people getting rewarded on the screen at least.

Candido today would just be another Roderick Strong type. Too bad Roddy married an MMA bytch that can't cut a promo instead of someone with star quality

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Candido would be an indie/AEW/NJPW darling if he came around these days.
Tammy would be making millions as a TikTok/IG/OnlyFans thot.

 

[NYChase718]

Candido brother looks like moxley
Same fukking haircut and bloated face

 

[Killah Ray]

I know they couldn't put everything into an hour episode, but they should've mentioned the horrendous WCW run they had as well...
