WWE legend Tammy Sytch 'is suffering from a severe blood clot in prison' six months into 17-year sentence for drink-driving crash that killed 75-year-old

Former WWE Diva Tammy Sytch could 'barely walk' while suffering from a 'horrible' blood clot behind bars. 

The 51-year-old, also known by her stage name Sunny, is serving a 17-year sentence after causing a car crash that resulted in the death of a 75-year-old man. 

She was more than three times over the legal alcohol limit when she got behind the wheel in March 2022, and was sentenced to serve her time at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida in late 2023. 

In a new interview, the WWE Hall of Famer, who was labelled a 'danger to society' during the court hearings, claimed officials at the facility ignored her severely swollen leg for 'weeks.' 

'I could barely walk on my leg,' she told TMZ Sports, noting that her extremity looked 'like somebody put a bicycle tire pump on it and just inflated it twice the size.'

She debuted in the WWF as 'Sunny' in 1994, before the series rebranded as the WWE

After undergoing tests, Sytch was diagnosed with a clot that needed blood thinners for treatment. 

'All that's been going through my mind for the past three weeks is, "Oh, my God, I'm going to follow in [my ex-husband's] footsteps and die of a blood clot just like he did because I can't get medical treatment at this prison,''' she said, referencing her longtime partner, fellow wrestler Chris Candido, who died of a blood clot in 2005.

'It's pretty bad,' she added. 

Sytch is not expected to be released from prison until January 3, 2040.

Sytch was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 before going in and out of jail for years

She debuted in the WWF in 1994 before the organization rebranded as the WWE. Her in-ring character famously managed icons such as the Legion of Doom during her three-year run with Vince McMahon's company.

In 1998, she joined rival promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) as Tammy Lynn Sytch. 

Following her career in pro wrestling, she went on to star in adult movies while also offering webcam sessions on Skype. 

By 2011, when she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, she had began having frequent run-ins with the law. Sytch was in and out of jail for disorderly conduct, DUIs, and domestic violence until eventually being put behind bars for 17 years last November.
