#4 Jimmy Snuka
Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka was one of those superstars who, despite being initially pushed as a heel, managed to become a fan favorite owing to his high-flying in-ring style in the 1980s. He may not have won a single title during his time with the WWE but Snuka is famously remembered for his exceptional in-ring work, the very first WrestleMania main event, and that iconic Superfly Splash at Madison Square Garden against Don Muraco from atop the 15-foot Steel Cage. He is also recognized as the first victim in the Undertaker's illustrious WrestleMania streak.
Superfly left the WWE in 1993 and had already attained legendary status by then. He signed up with NWA's Eastern Championship Wrestling (the former version of Extreme Championship Wrestling) and was included in the resurrected rendition of The Dangerous Alliance assembled by Paul Heyman.
The ECW reincarnation of Heyman's highly-acclaimed stable had the likes of Snuka, 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert, Don Muraco, and The Dark Patriot who were branded 'Hot Stuff International'. During that time, Snuka won the NWA ECW Heavyweight title twice and the Television title once. Snuka and Heyman's union was brief as Superfly left the promotion just before Paul Heyman took over the reins and renamed it as Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1994.
Snuka was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996 and sporadically appeared for Vince McMahon's company over the years until his sad demise in January 2017 due to terminal illness.
