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.
