JAPW
The Stars, Staff and Management of Jersey All-Pro Wrestling join the wrestling community in mourning the untimely death of Chris Candido.
Chris was a one of a kind in the wrestling business, and his loss is even more tragic after the efforts he has made in recent times in getting himself back in peak condition as he moved himself back up the long ladder that is the Wrestling Business. We are proud of his last ECW arena match with JAPW at last month's Caged Fury, and the "Welcome Back" chants that the Fans greeted him with were truly sincere. It was a great match that will be always remembered by those of us here at JAPW. He will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts go out to Tammy and the Candido family during this difficult time.
NWA Oklahoma
I just wanted to pass on to the Tammy and the Candido family that they are in our thoughts and prayers here at NWA Universal (Oklahoma). We brought Chris in for a show back in September of
2004 in Broken Arrow, OK to work with his friend and our old UWF wrestler Michael "Thunderbolt"
Norton. I remember getting a call from our booker Doug Cook saying Thunderbolt had wanted to
come work for us and could bring Chris Candido in as well. To be very honest, I went round and round
with Doug about those stories of the "past" and was very hesitant in bringing Chris in. But once Chris and I spoke on the phone I had a sense he was on the road to a new start. Needless to say when TBolt and Chris arrived in Broken Arrow on 9/25/04 I witnessed a true PROFESSIONAL who was willing and ready to do whatever was needed to put the promotion over. His constant smile and
his willingness to give advice to the other younger workers was something you just don't see anymore. It seemed like there was no stopping Chris Candido and his new rise to the top, with the NWA and TNA push. I still cannot believe he is gone, Rest in Peace my friend.
