I literally just got done watching this. If you have Sling TV you can watch on demand as well. I really appreciated how they focused more on Candido than on Tammy. It made the show "feel" better that they didn't take the seedy route of focusing on her and her post-WWF life.

Yeah, I liked that it didn't focus on Tammy. About the only gripe I had was they didn't mention Chris and Tammy in WCW at all but they weren't there that long from what I remember so it's not a big deal. It's a pretty solid episode. |

Tammy is likely to have her own episode eventually if the show continues.

ECW traveled down to Louisiana several times. I was I think 16 and went to a meet and greet with him and Tammy at a video rental store the day after the show. They showed up like 2 hours late, Tammy was super nice but Chris was kind of out of it.

I really don't know what they could have covered there. I suppose it was more evidence that they were impossible to work with since someone who was one of the biggest stars in the world a few years prior couldn't even find a spot in a waning WCW. I'd have to look it up but I don't think they lasted more than a couple of months. |

More of the same and not much to report, like you said. |

yeah, according to Cagematch, Candido's in-ring WCW work was exactly 3 months as Cagematch has Candido's first WCW match against Lash LeRoux listed as March 20, 2000 and his last WCW match as a 2 on 1 handicap of Candido teaming with Bam Bam Bigelow against Buff Bagwell on June 20, 2000.

Just finished watching this episode on Crave TV here in Canada.
A few thoughts from me:
1. The really tragic thing about Candido was that he managed to get clean and get his life back on track only to die shortly thereafter. Life just isn't fair.
2. Paul Heyman doesn't come off looking good in this episode. He failed to reimburse Candido and Tammy for those company expenses they paid for causing them to lose their home. Not to mention that exploitative interview he did with Tammy to try to boost the ECW ratings. Granted, he's not the only promoter to exploit the talent's real world problems for their own gain but it's still not a good look.
3. I didn't even hear about Tammy's latest DUI that caused someone’s death. Sadly, I don't think she'll ever get her life back on track.
