Sunny Talks Personal Demons In Shoot Interview

This past weekend, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch filmed an emotional shoot interview with RF VIDEO.  She discussed alot of her own personal demons and issues over the past 15 years.  She is checking into rehab Monday.

Here is a preview of the upcoming title:

RF VIDEO presents our most emotional shoot interview of all time with Tammy Sytch as she comes clean about a variety of her personal problems over the past few months that finally has come to a head. Tammy Sytch is known as the very first Diva of the WWE to manywrestling fans, but at times her out of control life style over shadows what she has accomplished in the ring. Tammy contacted RF VIDEO to do this very emotional interview just 15 hours before she is entering rehab because of her almost 22 year history with our company.

We started off doing a pre interview with Tammy while she was putting on her make up for this interview. We talked about some lighter subjects like her twitter war with Reby Sky and her feelings on her. We also talked about Tammy’s Amazon wish list and you will be shocked as we were on how many people buy her stuff.

Then Tammy sat down with us on a very personal level and gave us a very open hearted interview on how she is going to head to rehab so she can be on the path to recovery. We talk with Tammy about what happened over the last 48 hours which landed her into the ER at midnight after she nearly consumed 2 gallons of Vodka. We talk about her depression problems from Chris Candido passing away at a young age to some of her feelings due to the untimely passing of her family members. We take a look back in her past to the first time she consumed a drink and how as time went on she got into other substances that she abused. She talks very openly about her use of drugs in wrestling and how she abused her body and what lead to her finally going into rehab before this time around and what caused her to slip off the wagon while she was only two weeks into her program.

This is a very emotional interview that saw Tammy break down as she let all of her demons out to air, as she really felt like doing this interview was step one for her recovery. We asked her about missing bookings or showing up at bookings and not leaving her hotel room because of her demons. The subject matter during the first hour of the interview is very intense.

We also wanted to clear the air finally of all of the rumors that has been said about her and she has heard all of them. Did she sleep with Bret Hart? Did she really offer sexual favors for pills from Sabu? What was the deal with her and Hack Myers? DId she cheat on Chris Candido which is one thing that many of the guys in the business has accused her for years of doing. She finally gives her side of the story on that and talks about various rumors addressing just that.

We talk about her internet Facebook status changes from being in a relationship to being engaged every other day, she talks about her ex BF and why it went public and how he allegedly was abusive to her. We asked her about what New Jack had said about hiring him as a hitman.

We talk a lot about her return to WWE for the HOF and Wrestlemania Battle Royal in 2009. What wasJohn Cena and Randy Orton like to her? Why did Cody Rhodes avoid her backstage? Talks about why she turned down PlayBoy and if she regrets it.

We also asked her one question that needed to be asked is how her BF can trust her with all the rumors out there about her sexual past and Tammy gives a great answer that I think will quiet down her haters. You will hear about her run in ROH that was cut short and why she never liked to wrestle in the ring.

Some of the most shocking details of the interview is when Tammy talks about worshipping Marylyn Monroe, and how she used to look at herself in the mirror and tell herself that she would never live past 36 because she wanted to basically go out like her idol. She reveals a lot of stuff regarding drugs which were never discussed before like her drug runs into Mexico during the 90’s to get pills, girls that disrespected her, why she will never work for TNA, where would Chris Candido fit into wrestling in 2012, and her take on the Montreal screw job.

The interview also gives advice to anyone suffering from a substance problem as Tammy tells them what they should do as she discusses what made her flip the switch and see the light. This interview was more or less a intervention and we really hit Tammy with some hard hitting questions. Just for the record we asked Tammy at least 4 times if she wanted to do this interview as we did not want to exploit her and she wanted to do this for her health. We ask her at least 3 times on camera as you will hear what she says for yourself.

When the interview was over, we made one call for her to a friend who had the WWE call her back with in 5 minutes and she is going to get the help that she needs tomorrow when she enters rehab. Lets all pray for her to a speedy recovery so she can get back to her life and possibly start a family which is her main goal right now. Here are the questions that we talked about with Tammy:

There were always stories of Tammy and somas and you came clean about them in the past….what about all the rumors that went around with you and Sabu..Hack Myers and various other guys….
You have been in the business long enough and have seen to many people pass away, is there ever a time where you look at yourself in the mirror and you ask yourself am I one of those people…am I going down that dark path…
Has any worker ever really tried to help you and take you in a empty room and tell you that you have a problem?

Sunny Entering Rehab Following Trip To The Emergency Room

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch, 39, is entering a drug rehabilitation center to address her longstanding issues with substance abuse.

She was admitted to an emergency room Friday night and her boyfriend, independent wrestler Damien Darling, insisted that she receive assistance. According to a press release issued by RF Video, she will enter the facility on Monday. She was scheduled to participate in a “shoot” interview Sunday where she was to have addressed her battles with drug addiction and her trail toward recovery.

The influential Diva’s behavior has grown increasingly erratic since last summer when she split from her boyfriend of five years. New Jack, a former bounty hunter, claimed Sytch had asked him to kill her ex shortly after their break-up. In November, Sytch posted images online of injuries to her nose, forehead, wrist and foot when she fell down an escalator at Newark Liberty Airport. She claimed the fall stemmed from taking antibiotics for a viral infection. She has mentioned being hospitalized on her Facebook account numerous times since then, and in April, said that she suffered a concussion and a black eye after “taking a bad fall in the rain.”

Sytch has also missed multiple scheduled appearances this year, which event promoters have attributed to “personal demons” and “personal issues.” American Icon Autographs have stated that they have no intention of working with her again after she missed the WrestleReunion show in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in April, marking the third time she bailed on them. She also missed three dates for two promotions in Maine that month.

“I didnt take a shot at AJ…I dont watch wrestling…any wrestling…so I honestly didnt know who she was. Once in a blue moon I’ll flip passed it on TV and I happened to see that angle…and didnt know who she was. thats all. period. no harm in not knowing. I dont know who half the guys on that roster are.”

She then went on to complement AJ: “If they are willing to finally give a chick a spot like that, with all the air time (like they did with me) more power to her. From what I saw, which was very little, she has her character down pat… and I love her facials. dont know where she came from, but she was either taught right, or just has it. I was never taught anything, it would just come naturally. If that is her case, fantabulous!”

Sunny appeared for the FTW promotion on Long Island, New York over the weekend and had her thong removed in the middle of the ring during a match. She described the event on Facebook:

Main Event To Earn WWE Big Money, Sunny Shoot Interviews

– WWE recently announced that a new weekly television show will debut on the ION network this October, WWE Main Event. There has been a lot of concern in WWE over the WWE product getting over exposed, especially with RAW expanding to 3-hours on a weekly basis starting next month. Two new hours of WWE programming each week carries risk, however WWE is poised to make millions of dollars per year in TV rights fees from the new shows.

Because the extra hour of RAW and the new WWE Main Event show will be filmed during nights when WWE already is running television tapings, the cost to produce RAW’s third hour and WWE Main Event is minimal.

Even though Ion is ranked as the 8th most popular broadcast network in the United States, millions of fans who do not have cable television will now have access to Main Event. Between that additional exposure and the TV rights fees, WWE is confident the new show will be successful.

– WWE Hall of Famer Sunny revealed on Twitter that she has two new shoot interviews coming out soon with Kayfabe Commentaries and RF Video.

– WWE taped the following Superstars matches this week:

* Kofi Kingston vs. Michael McGillicutty
* Epico vs. Darren Young
* Kane vs. Heath Slater
* Antonio Cesaro vs. Sin Cara
* Camacho & Hunico vs. The Usos
* Primo & Epico vs. Darren Young & Titus O’Neil.

Because WWE taped so many matches this week (and Epico wrestled twice), it’s likely that these matches will air over the next two episodes of Superstars.

Reby Sky Continues To Trash Sunny: All Respect Is Gone

Matt Hardy’s girlfriend Reby Sky is back with another rant about former WWE diva Sunny. The beef started on Monday when Reby Sky tweeted some anti-Sid messages after his appearance on RAW (bashing him for skipping indy dates), which prompted Sunny to come to Sid’s defense and the two ladies have been going back and forth ever since.

Here’s Reby Sky’s latest message about Sunny from Facebook, where she talks about having lost all respect for Sunny:

“Checked my facebook before bed & this is what I see from Sunny: “Not worried about your response” | Refreshes page over & over responding to fan-girls & posts multiple times |
::facepalm::

Look, the internet can implode & tell me I have no right to my own opinion, but I’m not backing down from anything I’ve said. There aren’t “sides” here, but if there were, SOLELY based on what my issue with Sid was – which was no-showing / disappointing fans / not keeping his word on bookings – and you “hate” me because of what I said, you’re implying it’s OK to do those things, the reason being, because he’s a “legend”. Don’t be a mark. There are plenty of “legends” who are pieces of sh*t. Being a “legend” doesn’t make you a good person. Moreover, I don’t need to be 900 years old or employed by any particular company to be able to have/voice an opinion. And the bigger question is, WHO CARES what I have to say ? Ran out of people to pick on, Sunny ?

I stand by my friends through thick & thin but when they’ve done something undeniably wrong I’m not going to justify it when its criticized & that’s exactly what Sunny has done. You’re buddies. Good for you. But your “buddy” has been screwing over a whole lot of fans & promotors – You’re going to back THAT up ? The last shred of respect I tried to hold on to having for you (after discovering you literally sucked Sabu’s dick for somas) is gone.

If people dislike me for some other reason, then by all means, continue to rant on and on about it; You deserve the right to express your opinion as much as I do (although today, people seem to have forgotten I have a right to my own) … but if you’re going to hate me because I said people NO-SHOWING makes me sick then you’re just as bad as he is.”

Big Show Talks Shaq-WM28, Ryder’s Videos, Sunny At WM28

– During a recent interview with the Miami Herald, WWE’s giant Big Show was asked about the rumors of NBA star Shaquille O’Neal competing at WrestleMania 28. Big Show said:

“I know there are a lot of rumors this year that I might get a chance to compete against Shaq at WrestleMania [28 Miami]. I didn’t hear anything about it on my end.

I don’t know if Shaq was getting froggy, stirring up some stuff, but if he ever wants to take his Nike butt away from the announcers’ desk and try to step in the ring, he’s more than welcome to try.

I teach as well as I compete. So he can come on down and get a lesson.”

It was announced on SmackDown last week that Big Show will challenge Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania – so a match with Shaq seems highly unlikely at this point.

– Zack Ryder is telling his disgruntled fans to contact WWE and ask them to re-enable comments on his Z! True Long Island Stories videos:

Sunny Bumped From HOF Broadcast, Speeches Heavily Edited

Sunny’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame has been nixed from tonight’s broadcast on the USA Network in favor of Drew Carey’s since a promotional deal is in place to push his new series on GSN. The comedian’s acceptance speech was significantly edited and all boos directed at him were edited out.

A highlight reel showcasing Sunny, Abdullah the Butcher and Bob Armstrong will air.

The special will open up with Dusty Rhodes inducting The Road Warriors and Paul Ellering into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The broadcast will close with the Hall of Fame induction of Shawn Michaels. His speech was heavily edited as it lasts approximately four minutes. Triple H’s crack on Michaels “refusing to join the Hulk Hogan hair club,” however, remains intact.

TNA Wrestling talent Ric Flair, who attended the event, is not shown during the broadcast.

WWE Star Knocks Lay-Cool’s Speech, Miz Discusses His Dream

— Layla and Michelle McCool’s speech inducting Sunny into the WWE Hall of Fame received unfavorable reviews from a number of attendees as it was conducted in character. Raw Superstar John Morrison compared their speech to Jersey Shore star The Situation’s universally panned speech during last month’s Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump.

“Lay-Cool’s induction speech at Hall of Fame = the Situation at the Trump roast,” he wrote.

— The Miz says appearing at WrestleMania XXVII is a ‘dream come true’.

“This really is a dream come true,” the WWE Champion told the Toronto Sun in an interview. “As a kid, I watched Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant. It was larger than life. And now, I’m on that same stage.”

He has his sights set high.

“I always say you’re only as good as your last time on TV. If I have an off-day, that’s not good. With wrestlers like (Hogan, Triple H, Flair and Michaels), they didn’t have off-days. I just can’t remember them flubbing anything. All I remember is their iconic status.”

Sunny Talks About Returning To WWE, Hall Of Fame & More

Former WWE diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was interviewed by Slam Wrestling this week about getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Here are some highlights of what Sunny said about: going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Here are some highlights:

Returning To WWE At MSG A Few Weeks Ago: “On Saturday, a stretch limo arrived at my house to pick me up and bring me into the city. When I got there, I had so much anxious energy that I was bouncing off the walls. Just before the match, I’m at the curtain when all the girls go out to the ring, and Stephanie McMahon comes over and said, ‘Why are you so nervous? This is old hat for you.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, but it’s been like 13 years since I worked this building.’ Well, as soon as my music hit I made the Sunny switch, and every little bit of nervousness left my body, and I went out there and did my thing. It all felt like I never left, and it was just so freakin’ cool!”

* Pictures of Sunny’s Return At MSG 2 Weeks Ago – She How She Looks!

Finding Out She Was Invited To Join The WWE HOF: “I already had it on while I was packing for my trip to Mexico, when all of a sudden the announcement of Shawn Michaels going into the hall of fame comes on. I said to Johnny Ace, ‘That’s great! Good for him, he deserves it,’ as I acted happier than a pig in poop. Then Johnny Ace goes, ‘Well, Vince [McMahon] and I were talking and we’d like you to be the second inductee.’ I paused, and then said, ‘You’re s**ttin’ me right?’ Then he says, ‘No, I’m not s**ttin’ you.’ So of course I started crying and shaking and freaking out. I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my God, I’m only 38, and usually the people who go into the Hall of Fame are at least 50, or dead by the time they get inducted. All I could think was, ‘Holy crap, this is awesome!'”

Her Hall Of Fame Speech: “I already know that I’m going to totally screw up my speech. That’s 100 percent a given. As Sunny, if you give me a microphone and tell me to go out to the ring and cut a promo, no problem. But I’ve got to get up there and speak from the heart. It’s going to be 100 per cent real — not a work, not a gimmick, not an angle. And that’s how I know I won’t be able to keep it together. Because that’s not going to be Sunny up on that stage talking. It’s going to be Tammy talking. You know how I told you about that Sunny switch? Well, Tammy screws up a lot. Sunny never does. So without the Sunny switch turned on, I’m going to lose it and cry. Wish me luck.”

HOF Announcement Delayed, Helms Comments On Bar Incident

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi appears as a guest star on tonight’s episode of Raw. The best-selling author has been well-received amongst the WWE talent as a few them have been getting photos taken with her backstage at tonight’s show in St. Louis.

– Former WWE Diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch explained during an interview with Women’s Wrestling Today that she loathes TNA Wrestling because when her longtime boyfriend died, Chris Candido, they refused to forward her his last paycheck (for the final shows he appeared, including the show he broke his ankle in, which led to the surgery in which he got an infection and ultimately died from) so she could pay off his outstanding bills. Sunny said:

“They refused, because we weren’t legally married. So bills I had of his, in both our names, ended up being my sole responsibility. It was only a $1,500 check, but still.. “F*****g scumbags. “They had Terry Taylor call me and tell me that. So he basically broke his ankle and died for free. They sent the check in his name, which I couldn’t endorse and deposit. When I asked them to cut me a new check in my name, they said no.”

In a  bit of TNA trivia .. 2008, TNA Wrestling’s creative department considered bringing Sunny in back in 2008 as the new love intereset of Kurt Angle, who was still with his wife Karen at the time. An unnamed TNA wrestler with influence pleaded with the company not to hire Sunny and the idea was ultimately dropped. (Source Wrestling Observer Newsletter)

— Former WWE performer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch is currently working on a book about her time in the wrestling business which she hopes will be out next year.

“It’s going to be a fun book,” Sytch told the Asbury Park Press. “I’m not out to trash anybody or ruin people’s marriages or expose who did what kind of steroid, it’s going to be a fun read. It’s all about all the fun stuff that happens on the road that nobody knows about unless you’re there.”

Speaking of Sytch, she will be one of the featured performers at Independent Superstars of Professional Wrestling’s ISPWMania event on Saturday at the 3-2 Count Athletic Facility in Freehold, New Jersey.

“She’s one of the biggest female names out there in the history of wrestling and she lives right in New Jersey; it would be crazy not to capitalize on having someone (with) that wealth of knowledge of the wrestling business and such a talented performer,”said ISPW owner and promoter Tommy Fierro.
