5 things you may have forgotten about Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka

#4 Was part of a rather ‘racist’ Piper’s Pit

No way would WWE have okayed this as of today

Before there was Miz TV, The Highlight Reel, Cutting Ege, The Ambrose Asylum and The Kevin Owens Show, there was Piper's Pit. Hosted by the very eccentric Rowdy Roddy Piper, it was a great way to start new feuds, much like the other shows attempt these days!

In what would turn out to be one of the most infamous episodes of the show, Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka was provoked by the explosive Piper for his origins and mocked with a variety of tropical fruits because of his roots that were based in Fiji.

After Piper peeled a banana and tossed it at Snuka, and compared Pineapple leaves to the hair of Fijian natives, he began the rivalry by hitting Snuka in the head with a coconut.

This would continue through 1984 until Snuka would end it by going into rehab.
