As reported earlier, former WWE talent Tammy Sytch (a/k/a Sunny) was advertised to appear at Saturday’s Legends of the Ring event at the Crowne Plaza in Monroe, New Jersey, but no-showed. That would make the second consecutive weekend where she missed scheduled bookings after arriving to them.

She was spotted highly intoxicated at the hotel’s sports bar the night before and needed assistance returning to her room since she was unable to walk on her own. She spent Saturday and Sunday in her hotel room before returning home.

Sytch wrote of her whereabouts Monday afternoon on Facebook, “sorry i havent posted…..been very sick…..”

Sytch appeared in no condition to perform at Northeast Wrestling’s Brass City Brawl II event on September 30 in Waterbury, Connecticut and was scratched from the show as a result. According to a source, a referee drove her back to her hotel and she wouldn’t leave her room the following day. She was then escorted off the premises by law enforcement. She missed a show she booked to appear on that day in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Sytch wrote “detoxing is not fun” two days later on her Facebook account. She then revealed on Thursday that she’s depressed.

“I want to thank everyone who stood behind me and sent well wishes during this hard time,” she wrote. “Im sorry I havent responded sooner, but depression can be a bitch….dont feel like doing much at all…”

Her recent troubles are apparently related to problems with her boyfriend of over five years, who she broke up with a week earlier. She trashed her longtime partner on September 22 on Facebook by claiming that he cheated on her. She wrote three days later, “ok, seriously dont know what to do….need a sugar daddy asap….any takers??” She announced the following day that she was in a relationship with Brad Zapenas, a 21-year-old minor league baseball player for the Chicago Cubs. The relationship, however, would be short-lived as they broke up on Sunday.

Sytch faced a similar set of problems earlier this year as she appeared intoxicated at a Florida independent wrestling show on February 25. She slurred her words during a verbal confrontation with Danny Demanto and suffered multiple wardrobe malfunctions—she purposely flashed her breasts during a match to onlookers and her top accidentally came loose when she attempted to slap a wrestler.

She stated days later on Facebook that she was dealing with personal problems at home: “To everyone: let me explain why Ive been so upset lately. I have made the biggest mistake of my life, and have hurt the only person who ever cared about me and stood behind me thru my worst times. Now I have to deal with the pain b/c of my own mistake.”

The former WWE Diva appeared intoxicated at a multitude of independent wrestling events in the years prior to her comeback. Her erratic behavior intensified in the months following the April 2005 death of longtime partner Chris Candido: she officiated at least two matches while intoxicated and was escorted from a wrestling convention after causing a scene near Bret Hart. Her wily antics, however, simmered after she entered a relationship with a police official in January 2006 (who she broke up with last month) and shortly thereafter began her road to recovery, which culminated with enshrinement into WWE’s Hall of Fame last April.

Sunny’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame was nixed from last night’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. It was done in spite of her induction speech being advertised for the telecast the previous week on Monday Night Raw.

“The Original Diva” commented on being snubbed from the television broadcast, writing on Facebook: “Well, even though I was told by many, including office staff, that I had the best speech of the night, I was still bumped in favor of a game show host who was booed all night….hmmm, oh well.”

She also responded to those criticizing her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame on various Internet forums.

“When all the other divas come up to me and say “Thank you for paving the way, you are the reason we all have jobs”, it really means something.

“To be appreciated by my peers means so much more than what some dude who lives in his Mom’s basement and writes his opinions for an internet website has to say about me and my induction… you all can kiss my Hall of Fame bootie!!”

She added, “I would appreciate if everyone stopped posting the websites posting negative stuff on my wall…b/c it doesnt MATTER what they think…what matters is what the WWE and VKM think. Period.”

Sunny was announced Monday night on Raw as the latest inductee for WWE’s Hall of Fame Class of 2011. Sunny, who’s real name is Tammy Sytch, has since made several remarks on her Facebook account concerning the matter.

She stated Tuesday night that people whom she considered her friends in the wrestling industry who have yet to congratulate her on her honor are jealous.

“It’s so funny…people whom I thought were my friends in this business I havent heard a peep from regarding my induction…and those whom I never knew were good friends have messaged me and/or texted me. HMMMMM can you say ‘jealous much?” Isn’t it ironic…..”

She then asked that people to not compare her to the current crop of WWE Divas because she isn’t a wrestler.

“To not take away from any current girls: do ya’ll know I’m not a wrestler?????? Ummmm hello??? Please do not compare me to what these gladiators are doing…accept me for what I am…Gratzi.”

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the announcement of Sunny’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame on Monday’s Raw gained 219,000 viewers, outdrawing everything else on the program sans the return of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Viewership immediately plummeted following the tribute video as the Divas Championship Match between Eve Torres and Nikki Bella that followed it lost 610,000 viewers. Reacting to the news, Sytch exclaimed she still has drawing power fourteen years later.

“HOLY CRAP! 14 years later and I STILL have drawing power!! Post this everywhere!!”

She then criticized wrestling websites bashing her for her induction into the WWE Hall of Fame while simultaneously contacting her agent for interviews.

“I find it HYSTERICAL that internet wrestling websites who are currently bashing me for my induction, are also the ones who are contacting my agent/webmaster for INTERVIEWS!!!! You guys are so pathetic!! You actually think I need your press?? Monday night’s press was good enough! A**holes……”

She also urged her Facebook followers to send hate mail to a writer who posted a negative article on her on BleacherReport.com. The writer feels her WWE run was too brief to warrant induction into the Hall of Fame.

“These assholes need hate mail…and NOW!!”

She then added, “it’s not about length people…it’s about IMPACT!!”

Later, a person mentioned Sable on her page and she said the “S word” is not allowed on her page. She added that anyone who mentions her name again will be removed as her Facebook friend.

“Listen, I’ve told you all….I have NOT been contacted by the WWE for anything,” she wrote. “I’m scheduled to appear for ROH wrestling in Atlanta…get over it already.”

She later backtracked amidst numerous congratulatory messages, writing, “Ok..thank you…but everyone needs to stop. Nothing is official until it’s official… keep that in mind.”

— During an interview with Diva-Fiva.com, former WWE Diva Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was asked to give her opinion on the numerous talent couple relationships in WWE today.

“I’m not in the best position to judge but maybe it’s a little out of control now,” she said. “But then again, since you’re with these people all the time, it’s quite understandable. Especially since it’s hard dating someone who’s not on the road with you.”

Regarding a return to WWE, she indicated that she’d like to, but on her terms.

“Of course!” she said in response to whether she’d be interested. “I’m not sure that I’d want to go on the road full-time again. Maybe just TV and pay-per-views.”

Former WWE performer Tammy Sytch (a/k/a Sunny) spoke with Alfonso Castillo of Newsday.com regarding her new cookbook, and commented on whether some of the current Divas would be more valuable outside the ring.

“Yes, maybe some of them,” Sytch replied. “I’ve never been a huge fan of women’s ‘wrestling,’ and have always thought it’s best left to the guys. Some of the girls out there aren’t so talented inside the ring, and I think that just exposes the business even more. You wouldn’t put a Doctor with a shaky hand into surgery, now would you?”

Sytch was also asked about her limited involvement in the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV and whether she regrets participating.

“My actual return was on the 15th Anniversary of Raw show, in December of ’07, and I was featured nicely then. Had my own music, entrance, introduction, it was fun! Doing Wrestlemania was just the icing on top of that. I had a blast, but pay-per-view’s are timed out and so stringently, that there was nothing anyone could do to focus on any of the girls.”

Former WWE talent Tammy Sytch (a/k/a Sunny) 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.

“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.”

The Wrestling Observer notes that in 2008, TNA Wrestling’s creative department contemplated a storyline where Kurt and Karen would split up and have new on-screen relationships. Sytch was the leading candidate for the woman to have a relationship with Kurt. However, a TNA wrestler with influence implored the company not to hire the former WWE Diva, feeling “it wouldn’t work out.” The idea was ultimately dropped.

— Many within TNA Wrestling were surprised at how removed Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff appeared to be at last week’s set of iMPACT! television tapings. While both were on hand for the production meetings they would normally attend, neither individual appeared as engaged as they have in the past.

Though Hogan won’t publicly say anything negative regarding the ECW concept, he has been shaking his head behind closed doors. Observers say he looked uncomfortable while in the ring with the ECW crew in a segment that will air during this week’s iMPACT! broadcast. (source: pwtorch.com)
