Tammy "Sunny" Sytch was recently a guest on The Ross Report podcast with Jim Ross where she spoke on a number of interesting topics, including getting hired by the WWF at age 21. "After six and a half years, I was working at Smoky Mountain and I was in the apartment with Chris [Candido]; the phone rings and I pick it up, and I hear, 'Hi, this is Bruce Prichard from the WWF.' I went and called Chris because I assumed it was for him," Sytch explained to JR. "He said to me that he was calling for me, not for Chris; so I asked him, for what, because this wasn't something I was striving to do or wanting to do; it was just something that fell on my lap, and then that was how I was hired by the WWF at the time," recalled Sytch.

The year was 1994 when Sytch originally...

Never Tear Us Apart – the INXS series

This miniseries from Shine Australia aims to lift the lid on legendary Australian rock band INXS . It has seemingly done so for Network Seven, drawing major crowds earlier this year. Although the history of a band should be told through its musical merits,  the tragic death of Michael Hutchence in 1997 has defined what people around the world associate with INXS. Changing that perception was a key reason for Seven Network’s biographical miniseries INXS: Never Tear Us Apart , according to band manager Chris ‘CM’ Gordon. “The last months of Michael’s life were so ‘tabloidy’ that the INXS music and brand was overwhelmed. Then when he died in the way he did, it was great fodder for the tabloids to feast off for a decade or more,” he says.
