10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: Chris Candido & Sunny
2. There’s A Bleak Paul Heyman Moment
This doesn't reflect too well on current WWE sensation Paul Heyman.
Tammy eventually joined Chris in ECW towards the late-90s. By then, their substance abuse issues were out of control, but Heyman's group filmed a promo with Tammy about some very-real drug problems. Footage was shown of a crying Sunny saying she hoped she didn't wake up the next morning.
Off camera, Heyman's voice could be heard saying: "Tell us about that. Describe that feeling". It comes across as exploitative and completely out of order, and it didn't sit well with Jim Cornette. He called the whole episode heartbreaking, and still hasn't forgiven Heyman for it.
"Well, Paul. People would watch two dogs f*ck on the side of the road too, but I wouldn’t put it on my television”. That's how Cornette summed up his thoughts on what ECW did. This ranks as one of the bleakest moments on the whole documentary, which is saying a lot.
