I never knew Chris Candido, but I've seen his work. And anyone who dies at such a young age my heart goes out to his friends and family. Makes you look at life differently when someone dies near your age range!

I had the honor of seeing Chris work since the early 1990's and having some contact with him way back when in some of my business ventures , he was a true student of the game and consumate professional. Even though he was rocked by hard times recently he was able to pull it all together. Unfortunatly we will only be able to praise him on these message boards. He will always be remembered as one of the best ever to come out of the New Jersey independant scene. The workers of today have the like of Chris Candido to thank.

It's really tragic when someone as young as Chris C dies. I understand that it was a freak accident that he died from a blood clot as he did, but I was wondering what other people on this list thought about the danger quotient of some of the promotions out there.
When I see NWA/TNA or Ring of Honor I'm simultaneously happy to see the creativity going on and horrified at how many guys are taking bumps on the top of their heads and their necks. Knowing how many guys and women in WWE, which seems to aim for a safer style of work, have had neck surgery, it's not an entirely good feeling for me as a fan to see really young guys risking serious injury as they seem to be doing in some of these promotions.
I'm sure I'll get some "Hey, bud, it ain't ballet" comments, but I'd be interested in what other people here think.

I met him in Los Angeles at the Cheesecake Factory. He seemed like a nice guy. He and his wife "Sunny" left a pretty good tip. Props to him for working hard and staying in the business for so long.

In response to GIHOLOVER69, I think that anyone involved in the ring who takes chances by wrestling should get the same respect as any other athlete in any other sport. So when someone does get hurt or worse in this case, he or she should be recognized for all the hard work they have done and not be brushed off because it is wrestling. I think wrestlers give way more of themselves to their job and fans than other sports or entertainers and when a tragic event happens such as this it should be considered just that, a tragedy.
Just my two cents.
