Eric Bischoff Explains How Heavy the Drug Use Was for Tammy Sytch and Chris Candido in WCW

On the latest "83 Weeks" podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff talked about WCW Slamboree 2000.

Dark Side of the Ring will be doing an episode on Tammy Sytch and Chris Candido on the upcoming season. Candido and Sytch were in WCW around the time of Slamboree 2000. Bischoff described his experience working with Chris Candido and Sunny in WCW

“Not good. Not good at all," Bischoff said. "I didn’t really want them there. I didn’t see the value despite Sunny’s status at the time. The drug issue was such a, I mean everybody knew it. They were a train wreck and the idea of bringing in a couple train wrecks that you know are train wrecks into the company was just stupid. I wasn’t a fan of either one of them. I mean, it got so bad, and I don't usually talk about people who are no longer here, but let me put it this way. Those two would come out of a bathroom and people would have to come in and make sure there were no needles left on the floor. I mean, that's how bad it was, so I had no time for either one of them. I feel bad about the drug addiction. Fortunately, I've not been, nor has anybody in my family been addicted, but I know that addiction is a serious, serious, serious issue and I feel bad for the people that are in the midst of it, but they had no place in any wrestling company at that point in time.”
