Many
believe she will one day be the answer to the trivia question "who
had the shortest title reign in ACW history?" It is unclear whether
she is concerned with erasing that question and finding future success

Candy Sommers grew
up in Oxon Hill, Maryland, the daughter of Maryland State Senator Barbara
Sommers. Her father worked a security guard at the University of Maryland
and often took his daughter with him to the main campus during summers
when the University athletes were returning to school. Many of the players
took a liking to her, and treated her like a mascot for their teams. Derek
"Farmer" Burns, an All-ACC wrestler in the heavyweight division,
often brought her into the wrestling teams practices, where she would
bring water or towels to the wrestlers when appropriate. The team rewarded
her by giving her a miniature "letterman" jacket.
