I am not a fan at all but I have heard of him and I think some on PA are fans. Way back in the day I used to watch Channel 67 on Long Island and the early Vince McMahon. There's a whole subculture going on there.

His death saved him from a lengthy jail sentence. He was entertaining in his day, and a bit crazy, that is for sure.

I did not know about this, he was 74, if he killed someone then the hell with him, let him rot:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snuka

Snuka was indicted and arrested in September 2015 on third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, in relation to the May 1983 death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, who died from injuries a coroner described as consistent with domestic violence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence). In the decades before the criminal charges, Argentino's suspected homicide was a cold case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_case) in which Snuka was the only suspect. Snuka pleaded not guilty,[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snuka#cite_note-8)[8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snuka#cite_note-9) but was ultimately found unfit to stand trial in June 2016 due to being diagnosed with dementia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia).[9] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snuka#cite_note-CBS-10) His health had further declined, and in December 2016 his legal representative announced he had 6 months left to live due to his terminal illness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness).[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snuka#cite_note-11) The charges were dismissed on January 3, 2017, when Snuka was deemed unfit to stand trial.

He use to work out at the Springfield NJ Jack LaLanne health club. He was always saying hello to everyone and on occasion worked out with other club members. I guess he was hiding a real big secret.
