In attendance at the wakes for Chris Candido yesterday were a bunch of pro wrestlers, among other family and friends. Some of the recognizable names that were present were Tom Prichard, Balls Mahoney, Mick Foley, Shane Douglas, Jimmy Shoulders, Johnny Ova, George Napolitano, Amy Lee, Ken Sweeney, Johnny Diamond, Donnie Buci, Tommy Cairo, Tommy Dreamer, Al Snow, Simon Diamond, Mike O’Brien, Allison Danger, Devon Storm, Electra and Justin Credible.
At the funeral today were Dixie Carter, Jeff Jarrett, Terry Funk, Howard Finkel, Jeremy Borash, Bob Ryder, Scott D’Amore, Shane Douglas, Billy Gunn, Sonny Siaki, C.M. Punk, Rob Feinstein, Steven DeAngelis, Sandman, Sabu, Terry Taylor and many of the names listed above. Tammy Sytch was described as very strong and smiling for most of the time. It was reported as a nice touching service with one of the NWA tag team tilte belts draped over the casket during the mass. TNA offered the belt if the family wanted to bury Candido with it due to his love for pro wrestling.
Thanks to Dave Meltzer for the information.
