Summary
Today's New Generation Declassified features a very in depth look at Chris Candido's time in the WWF as "Skip" of the Bodydonnas. From his highly built and anticipated vignette packages through his off the charts in ring work and charisma, the New Generation years were meant for a competitor like Chris. His brother Jonny, co-author of "No Gimmicks Needed" a biography released earlier this year with co-writer John Cosper discusses what he saw during that era as his brother attained WWF success and how the Candido family lived it and loved his time basically being on his home turf.
