Pro wrestling has lost another talent this week. Chris Candido passed away this week due to a blood clot that was a result of leg surgery he underwent on Monday. I first saw Chris wrestle as part of the tag-team, The Body Donnas in the (then) WWF. I also remember watching him wrestle in ECW. Chris was a talented wrestler in his prime back then. After battling his share of “personal demons” he seemed to be on the right track landing a job in TNA Wrestling where he worked right up until his untimely passing. It appeared they were just in the beginning stages of giving him a good push. Its always sad when someone I enjoyed watching on wrestling passes away, especially long before their time (which sadly is the case with most wrestler’s deaths) and my condolences go out to his family and friends.
