One thing to Tammy’s credit:
I believe she was devoted to Chris.
I’m not suggesting she never messed around on the side – MANY wrestlers DO on the road – but she stuck through some daft shit with him.
I remember seeing the two of them at a couple of Indy cards.
By this point, Tammy was far from “Sunny.” She wasn’t grotesque, but she more resembled a really cute girl who is maybe 15-20 lbs. overweight. No tan, but still attractive. She didn’t appear in the show, but just stayed backstage.
This was about a year before TNA signed Chris, and I believe he said that, in addition to indy work, he and Tam had just opened a tanning salon around Jersey.
Far from WWF pay and lifestyle…
But Tammy stayed with him. As flirtatious as she was, and looking the way she did – prime & even for a time later – she could have easily found herself a nice sugar daddy and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, but she didn’t.
I do respect her for that.
