Introduction

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when she was 19 she packed her bags and drove to Los Angeles to pursue a career in show business. She found success as a model, appearing in car and fitness magazines. She was the Playboy Cyber Girl of the Week in June of 2002 and turned in a spank-able… er believable performance in the soft-core skinemax series “Hotel Erotica”.

Life Story

In 2004 she entered the WWE Diva search (Carmella Cesare, Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis) and although she did not win, she did receive a contract to wrestler. She was drafted to the SmackDown brand and made her PPV debut as the special guest referee for the highly anticipated bra and panties match between Torrie Wilson and Melina at the Great American Bash.

In 2006 she was offered the chance to pose for playboy, which (to no one’s surprise) she accepted. Later that year she suffered a broken nose via a kick to the face during a battle royal. She would return to the ring in January 2007 only to be taunted by arch nemesis Melina who claimed no playboy cover girl could beat her. After weeks of intense training with the legendary Arn Anderson, Candice was able to defeat Melina for the WWE women’s championship belt, becoming the first ever Diva Search contestant to win the title. She would defeat her nemesis once more at the Great American Bash, this time with her new finishing move “the candy wrapper”.
