32 years later

opps just posted this in 100k

so embarrassed

<font color=goldenrod>Welp...I suppose Snuka will be the next one wiped out of the history books.</font>

Meh, 3rd degree murder ain't so bad.

Three weeks ago:

Looks like I was wrong too.

So it turns out wrestlers from the 1980's might all be "bad people" or w/e

Except for Tugboat. Holdin' out hope for the 'Boat.

As long as John Tenta doesn't turn out to be a pedophile

Wasn't there an urban legend that Vince walked into a police station, and walked out with Jimmy Snuka, implying that he paid someone off?

Pretty sure john tenta is never going to turn out to be anything but still dead in the future

3rd degree murder is just so they can avoid statute of limitation discussions. It was an accidental drug overdose.

cocaine is a Hell of a drug.....

John Tenta was actually fucking amazing until he was in WCW

<font color=goldenrod>Was watching Bash at the Beach 1996 earlier and saw John Tenta wrestling with half of his hair shaved off. That poor man.</font>

So how soon do they fire Tamina now?

hopefully quick, and the other two in her gang

You leave Sasha alone damn it!

Was gonna say is Tamina gonna take a leave or absence or get written off for a little whle because of this?

More interested to see if the stuff involving Vince ends up being true or not.


Probably not. Knowing the WWE, they'd just drop all Snuka references in her name or change her finisher to not be a tribute to him.

AAAANNND here we are....32 yrs later wasn't Vince supposed to be involved in this somehow?

I said this years ago.

Vince Mcmahon is fucked by the way.

does this mean Hogan can fly under the radar now and go back to WWE. har har har.

Lol he's the least of their concerns. Vince is going to jail.

Worst case vince bribed someone who is likely dead now and cant testify. And what are the statute of limitations on a bribe? Vince is safe

Jimmy Snuka could testify against Vince. It's not like Vince didn't rub the government's nose in it after he got off his steroid charge or anything.

Depends of the statute of limitations though like Norm said.

Couldn't Vince be charged with obstruction as well?

yeah it's interesting. As much as Snuka could testify against Vince, it'd be pretty easy for Vince's team of lawyers to assassinate the credibility of an aged, washed up has been crack head murderer.

Vince will be fine. Even if he did do anything wrong he has the funds for a legal team to prevent the case from being formed -- should there ever even be evidence Vince did anything in the first place.

Snuka doesn't sound in shape to testify nor do I think he would.

if i'm vince and snuka draws money for me at the time , I go and bribe the coroner and/or the cop first. then I bail jimmy out. snuka never knows therefore his testimony against vince is shit. snuka just thinks he is in debt to vince for getting him out of jail

If Vince had really done anything wrong it would have come to light during his Steroid trial and/or Linda's political runs.

I couldn't imagine Jimmy living that much longer with this kind of stress on an already abused heart.

Vince told Snuka to act duumb and play the part of the savage islander.

also there are no statute of limitations when murder is involved.

Her family will finally get some closure after 32 years.

joe paterno syndrome. he will die soon, no mention on wwe

that's cool, the topic was vince going to jail for involvement, vince didn't kill her. so statute of limitations convo was about bribes etc

could be interesting if it is revealed he bribed them.

this was in Snuka's own book btw.

the timeline would be a little iffy though. this is may of 83 when the shitshow starts, snuka is current wrestler of the year, anyone know how well he is drawing or how the company is doing?


the conventional story is leading up to mania in march of 85 vince has all his money tied up in that and would he have any to spare to pay off her fam?


sometime in 85 the court awards her family 500k and snuka never pays, maybe vince paid them off after that when he was flush with mania payoff cash

Snuka was the most over wrestler in the company in 83. Like Hogan in 84 over. The company is in transition. Vince started making big moves in late 83 with Hogan, Piper, Orndorff coming in, plus expanding into new markets. Snuka was vital to the company. Vince HAD to keep Snuka out of jail.

Don Muraco had a very odd reaction during his Timeline WWF 1983 DVD that I own. You could tell he knew something.

I don't normally comment on wrestling tragedies, but if Snuka did kill Nancy Argentino, it's about time he faces the consequences for it. Unfortunately it comes at a bad time towards the end of Snuka's life, but he had to know this day was coming.

odd in the sense like he was clued in on something by Snuka or McMahon personally, or was it more like, all the boys knew he did it just from how we knew him to be?

By Snuka. I'll post the clip once I get home. It's VERY interesting. It wasn't the first time Snuka had gotten physical with Nancy. It actually happened quite recently before her death.
