Personally I dont care what he did. Im not related to Snuka or this Nancy woman nor am I friends with either of them or their families. I also wasnt present in the hotel/motel when said incident happened. The only connection I have to Jimmy Snuka is on my TV screen. Because of that if a barefoot Snuka figure were to ever be released, Ill buy it...Why because it represents the Snuka that I know. Now if there's a Snuka figure that comes with a breakaway night stand and a lock of dark hair with painted bruised knuckles...Ill pass on it.

So... because Woman nor Daniel Benoit could perform a top rope headbutt who cares about them either? and Rae Carruths girlfriend and unborn child had zero career tds so lemme get a throwback jersey asap. Toys are way more important than morals. I hope nothing ever happens to any of your family members by someone on TV.

But its not my morals. Its just a little plastic man to me. Nothing more, nothing less. Id buy Benoit & Woman figures too!

Screw Snuka. Could not care less that he died. Sucks for Tamina but that's it. Fight me all you want but it's pretty friggen clear he killed her. It's a shame that he'll probably be remembered in a good light while Hogan is still deleted at the moment because of three sentences. Snuka should be in wrestling purgatory with Benoit

While your statement makes a lot of good points, I don't think pointing the finger at Nivro isn't the right way to make your argument. The reasons for me saying that is simple; There are companies out there making memorabilia based on real, convicted murderers. JWG thongs and Dahmer coffee mugs. Not to mention the way Che Guevara's image is misused and celebrated. My point is that if another figure on Snuka was made, the burden of "being an insensitive a$shat that makes money off of murderers" would fall on Mattel, not on the misguided people buying the product... Like the guys out there who peddle Rae Carruth (what a pull!) knock off jerseys.

The fact that this discussion is happening in this thread is proof that a Snuka fig is probably too controversial for WWE or Mattel to consider for the foreseeable future. Maybe waaaaay down the road at some point, but not anytime soon.

He just died, here we are with the figure talk. 24 hours, please people.
Also, as for what he allegedly did, the only person who knew exactly what happened passed away several hours ago. Everything else is, as Bruce Prichard says, rumor and innuendo. There's no proof, maybe he did, maybe he didn't, innocent until proven guilty. I cant make assumptions either way. In my opinion, however, I'd rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man's life/legacy ruined. Since I don't know for sure I'm not going to just assume the worst.
Edit: The 24 hours line was more of a joke (although a respectful mourning period would be nice, I realize nobody here knew him personally)

They let him off because he was losing his memory and about to die anyway

If kids/adults in the future google him, they will find out all this info. WWE will not be associated with him, probably ever again. If you really want a snuka figure, buy one on ebay but expect to pay a bunch for it. Maybe as technology improves with 3d printers that might be the route to go for Snuka and others on WWE Blacklist.

If Mark Hamill kills someone tomorrow, I'm still going to see Episode VIII and would buy a Luke Skywalker figure. If you wouldn't, that fine, your decision has no impact on mine. I'll never understand why some of you care so much about what other people say on here. Especially when it comes to non-figure topics. And no, you are not "just trying to have a discussion".

I think it's a matter of right/wrong. Most level headed people wouldn't purchase a tiny model version of Charles Manson and put it on a shelf and in a way idolize it so when a sports, music, movie etc hero commits a heinous act, they have tarnished what makes people look up to them. The worst people in the history of the world are mass murders, rapists, serial killers, women beaters etc. so in that sense, what separates Chris Benoit from Hitler? They both murdered innocent people out of their own madness/self gratification. Oj was a great running back but I doubt anyone in good taste would not question walking into someone's home and seeing a bills OJ figure. Why would Snuka or Benoit be any different? Their accomplishments mean nothing now because of what they did. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to say why do people care? Because it's human nature to feel sympathy for victims than admiration to murderers.

Says who? The prosecution? Your reputable US News networks? Until a judge and jury say the words Guilty, you are not his judge. OJ didn't do it, either. But he did write a book detailing "how he would have done it.".... He later got arrested for stealing his own crap.

Dude. Don't group a pornstar in with 2 murderers Different reasons but i would have to think they are both "blacklisted" just the same as I am referring to snuka and chyna. Benoit without a doubt is forever blacklisted. Chyna and Snuka are in that grey area, with Chyna being the most likely to get a figure/hall of fame induction one day. Chyna just made some porn. So like i said, with 3d printer technology improving everyday I won't be suprised if i see them on ebay. If reasonable price i would by a custom chyna with a good headscan in a 2nd. I bought 2 of her best looking jakks figures a few years back for cheap.

They let him off because he was losing his memory and about to die anyway I never said he was. He may very well be guilty, but he was never proven guilty either. There's no right answer here, it's just conjecture since nobody who was actually there is alive. What I said was I'd rather have him be guilty and go free/have his legacy restored than have him innocent and just assume that he was a monster/legacy destroyed. I feel that way about crime and punishment as well. I understand people may not agree, but I would rather a man guilty of murder go free than an innocent man be put in jail for years and have his life and reputation ruined. Yes the murderer might kill again, and the victim didn't deserve to die, but the wrongfully imprisoned who did nothing wrong gets screwed over in the worst way possible, and even if he were later exonerated his name will always be linked to the crime. There's no right answer. There are people calling him scum and celebrating his death. I won't go that far because I don't know for sure.

I have learned over the years that by not giving a , makes life a whole lot easier. I dont really care about anyone I dont knows feelings, nor do I really care if they care about mine.
