    Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka Charged with murder!!!!

    Well it only took 32 years for former WWF wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka to be charged with the murder of his then-girl-friend! For years, I had read he was guilty of murder and that it was covered up. Well, it will be interesting to see what happens at this point!!

    Sort of a moot point...since he seems to be terminal...stomach cancer.

      What I've read so far...Snuka really used to physically abuse his girlfriend (Nancy Argentino). He was ordered to pay $500,000...which he never did,

      I'd say he deserves everything coming to him...

            It's been a bad year to be an 80's wrestling fan. With Dusty and Hot Rod dying. The whole Hogan deal and Snuka's cancer and murder charges.

            Superfly was incredible in the ring especially for that time. Giving credit where credit is due.

              Very surprising it took this long after reading about the case over the years

                I wonder if Vince will get subpoenaed since its long been rumoured he helped Snuka get out of it (although noones ever really stated what that means)

                  What's the point. He's 72 with cancer. He's already lived his life a free man. He'll be dead as soon as he moves in. Stupid waste of tax payers money.

                    I remember it clearly because it happened at a motel I would frequent because they had cheap rates and a great swimming pool.

                    I miss the George Washington Motor Lodge

                    Today it's an OTB

                      wow I remember hearing about this years ago. I have not seen the article about him now being charged. what new evidence came to light to bring about formal charges? hell, I did not even know he had cancer. he was a great wrestler in his day.

                        I couldn't disagree more with this. I say if he did murder his ex girlfriend he needs to suffer as much pain as possible. Jail time and Cancer.

                        the family of Nancy Argentino deserve to have some closure to this situation

                          I have to agree, I don't care how sick he is his victim (and her family) need justice.

                          And if proven true, it needs to be part of his official legacy and not forgotten.

                          Her family won a $500,000 wrongful death lawsuit back in the 80's and they still haven't received one penny.

                          As far as a waste of tax dollars, --- this is the stuff taxes are paid to do

                            Yes, he should be punished for his crime, terminally ill or just old, doesn't matter...you just can't let it slide. Having said that. Why took so bloody long???
