Tammy Lynn Sytch
Biography
Tamara Lynn Sytch (born December 7, 1972) is an American convicted of vehicular manslaughter, as well as a former professional wrestling manager, valet, ring announcer, and adult entertainer. She was commonly known by her ring name Sunny, and WWE considers her their first Diva. She was introduced to the professional industry by her longtime boyfriend Chris Candido, and debuted in the Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW) territory in the early 1990s. During the later half of the 1990s, she gained mainstream fame within the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) as Sunny, becoming one of the most popular figures in the company during the New Generation Era and early Attitude Era. WWE widely considers Sunny as their first Diva, and America Online named her the most downloaded celebrity on the internet in 1996. After departing the WWF in 1998, she appeared alongside Candido in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). After Candido's 2005 death, she was active on the independent circuit until she retired in 2018. Lauded as one of the greatest managers in WWE history, she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011. Since 2012, she has been arrested and incarcerated several times, including multiple arrests for driving under the influence. In November 2023, she was sentenced to seventeen and a half years in prison, followed by eight years of probation, on DUI and manslaughter-related charges stemming from a March 2022 incident in which her vehicle crashed into the back of a stopped car at the intersection that killed a 75-year-old Ormond Beach man; she had a blood alcohol content of .280, which is 3-1/2 times the legal limit of .08 set by Florida law.
