Does Jimmy truely deserve it?? Other than getting the rub from Don Mucaro and Piper.... What else did he really do?? Only reason people give a flip about him, is because of two spots he did..
...Benoit kills his wife, and gets erased from history...
Snuka kills his girlfriend, and he gets put in the HOF...

Snuka killed his girlfriend? The rumor is McMahon paid to have it covered up and / or did all the smooth talking. It's one of those things that's been discussed for ages. For what Snuka did in his career, I'm going to say yes. However, if it ever is proven that he did in fact kill his girlfriend then I believe he shouldn't be in the HOF via conduct. I feel the same about Benoit. |

Snuka killed his girlfriend? I remember it happened in Allentown, PA in the early 80's. The newspapers said it was his "travelling companion". She died of a broken neck and the cops found him wandering naked on Route 22. This whole thing got swept under the rug. |

forget Snuka - I want Arn Anderson inducted!!! That man has been an underdog all his life, and has never complained about it. He's given his life & soul to the business he loves - put him in the Hall of Fame Vince!!!
Give this guy the credit he truly deserves...

there are a TON of people in the hall of fame that shouldnt be in there. There is also a TON of people that SHOULD be in there that arnt. Like Arn Anderson, Ted Dibiase, Tully Blanchard, Legion of Doom, Steiner Brothers, Macho Man...and honestly i would like to see Ron Simmons in there one day just for the simple fact hes the first black world champion from a major wrestling federation

Jimmy Superfly Snuka did waaaaaaaay more than you gave him credit for... Jimmy Superfly Snuka was a main event heel in the 70s and early 80s and did a Face turn and became a HUGE babyface and was over just as much as Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino I believe from about 82-85
Just because I guy doesnt win a fake title doesnt make his career meaningless...
Snuka had fueds with Bob Backlund during his title reign, Superstar Billy Graham, Don Muraco, Roddy Piper during the prime of Piper, and wrestled in WWF, NWA, AWA, etc.

It kinda breaks my heart to hear when someone thinks that the superstars who have achieved the level of being inducted into the Hall Of Fame, or Any of the Hall of Fames, are not truely worthy of that honor I can actually only think of Two that are kinda Jokes when they were put in and that is Pete Rose and William Perry neither of whom did anything notable in their Wrestling appearences. However, if you really look in to the backgrounds of those that have been inducted then you see that they are all more than worthy of their inductions from Verne Gagne, Fabulous Moolah, Nick Bockwinkle and Freddie Blassie to Gordon Solie, Johnny Rodz, Sgt Slaughter, Vince Sr and Jim Ross
Anyway, Hell yes Snuka deserves it he was a outstanding Performer there was so much he was responsible for in his career

I read about the Snuka/travelling companion story here recently, actually. I found it funny that Vince supposedly swept it under the rug, especially given his background of beating up women.
....but I do believe he belongs in the hall of fame, as does Benoit.. but that's a locked thread waiting to happen for another day.

Slightly off topic but something that caught my attention, Pete Rose and William Perry are in the 'celebrity wing' of the HoF. It's not as if they were put in the same category alongside the wrestlers. I think the 'celebrity wing' part of the HoF is a more light hearted, less serious aspect of it all, and it also ties in celebrity appearances with 'Mania to boot I imagine. There's no harm in it really.
As for Snuka, I'd say he definately belongs in the HoF. His feuded with anyone who was worth feuding with IMO and just listen to the reaction he gets if he ever makes an appearance nowadays, he's still ridiculously over.
