A professional bodybuilder and wrestler of Fijian origin. Jimmy Snuka changed the face of wrestling forever. When Superfly Snuka first burst onto the scene he was seen as a revolutionary figure in the development of pro wrestling.

He was the one that transitioned wrestling from ground mat slugfests into high-flying acrobatic bouts. Despite his legendary career, Snuka's life took a turn for the worse decades after his retirement, Jimmy was recently accused of third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges against his former girlfriend Nancy Argentino.

The WWE legend is now burdened with legal fees and the inability to find work to cover those fees. In a twist of events, doctors then found him unfit to stand trial and diagnosed him with dementia. To make matters even worse, Snuka has now also been removed from the WWE Hall of Fame.
