Career

SMW

Tammy started out travelling with her boyfriend (later husband), Chris Candido. She did some camera work for the New Jersey-based WWA. She first appeared onscreen as Tamara Murphy Fytch in Smoky Mountain Wrestling in 1993. She played a rich, spoiled brat and her character was extremely hated by the fans there. She managed Candido, Brian Lee and Boo Bradley, who would become Balls Mahoney in ECW.

WWF

Tammy and Chris went to the WWF in 1995 as the fitness-freaks Bodydonnas. Tammy would come to the ring with a microphone talking about how great they were and about how out of shape the fans were and quickly became hated. However, she was also becoming loved by men everywhere for her brown eyed, blonde hair good looks. In 1996, she won two Slammy Awards. She won for Best Buns and Best Manager. She also won Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Manager of the Year Award. The WWF split her up from Candido and she went on the manage The Godwinn's in a swerve where she teased Phineas Godwinn so he would follow her every whim and caused them to lose the WWE World Tag Team Titles to the Smokin' Gunns (Bart Gunn and Billy Gunn).

One of her favorite moments in the WWF was when she got slopped. The Godwinns had a gimmick where they were pig farmers and carried around a bucket of slop to their matches. Tammy called Phineas out to the ring to apologize and then slapped him and berated him. The Smokin' Gunns jumped him from behind. Henry Godwinn and their manager Hillbilly Jim came out to the rescue and cornered Tammy. Henry gave Phineas a slop bucket but he could not do it. Tammy realized this and finally got it together (she was feaking out at the thought of being slopped) and blew Phineas a kiss. Phineas had enough and poured the slop all over her. She threw a fit and stomped and screamed for minutes!

She soon became "The Clique Chick". She would hang out with the members of The Clique so they gave her that name. Candido had problems with the Clique members, so she eventually quit hanging out with them. She also developed some drug and alcohol problems around this time.

WWF management soon took Tammy away from managing and used her to be the ring announcer for matches and to model new t-shirts. During this time, she had backstage problems with Sable.

Candido left WWF for ECW without Tammy. She soon started making guest appearances in ECW with Chris. In 1998, she managed Road Warriors as "LOD 2000". This lasted a few months and she left WWF for ECW for good.

ECW

She feuded with Dawn Marie while Candido feuded with Dawn's wrestler, Lance Storm. They had many entertaining matches and inter-gender matches where Tammy usually pinned Storm and then stripped Dawn down to her underwear. In 1999, Paul Heyman, the owner of ECW, had Tammy do an interview on TV about her drug and alcohol problems. It was shocking, but that is what ECW was all about.

WCW

By 2000, Tammy had cleaned up her act and went with Chris to World Championship Wrestling where she feuded with Paizley, better known as Sharmell Sullivan. She ended up feuding with Daffney but their stay ended abruptly when Kimberly Page found a syringe that she claimed belonged to Tammy in the women's restroom. Tammy volunteered to a drug test and passed but they released her anyway.

Indies

Tammy has been working on the independent circuit ever since with Candido, at one point relocating to Puerto Rico for eight months. She considered becoming a Flight attendant, but instead opened and began running a tanning salon in May 2004.

Death of Chris Candido

Candido unexpectedly died on April 28, 2005. His cause of death was, according to his brother Johnny, from a blood clot caused by complications from surgery to repair his broken ankle that he suffered at Total Nonstop Action's PPV on April 24, 2005.

Tammy made an appearance in Women's Extreme Wrestling on May 7, 2005 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She gave a short speech before the show began after they had a ten bell salute to honour Candido. She then managed Talia while wearing one of Candido's ring jackets. She was briefly hospitalized for a minor nervous breakdown the same weekend but was released later.
