Migs Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Seems like it's based on the competency issue. http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/lehigh-county/index.ssf/2017/01/judge_dismissed_murder_charge.html#incart_river_mobile_home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sucks for the family, but it was the only likely outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Even if Jimmy was in perfect health, 30+ years is a long time to bring back a murder case. Evidence gets lost, witnesses/experts die, and unless you have the suspect on tape confessing there's too much reasonable doubt to overcome.

victory Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I feel bad for the family that they won't get closure. Snuka's lawyer saying he will release more info down the road and try to find the real killer is some real OJ crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Snuka's lawyer saying he will release more info down the road and try to find the real killer is some real OJ crap. Agreed. This is so indecent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeplastictrees Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Why not just go quietly into the night? Why the big proclamation of future evidence being released? If just a really insincere form of assistance and makes everyone involved on the Snuka team look bad. I guess Tamina Snuka will be back on TV within the next month or so?

sek69 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 IIRC she was out because she had knee surgery, not because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm picturing a TV show where OJ and Snuka are Private Eyes solving cases, while eternally searching for the "real killers." And they live on a boat, like Riptide. And their maid is the robot from Rocky 4. And now I'm bummed it's not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Oh, and is Robert Blake dead? Cause he'd be a recurring character. Like Greico on Jump Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Oh, and is Robert Blake dead? Cause he'd be a recurring character. Like Greico on Jump Street. If he is dead, that would make his role on the show even more awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMKK Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/820717351066664960 Rock tweeted earlier that Jimmy Snuka has died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 An RIP thread would be a shit show, but I guess this one is already and will be. Probably best to let time pass before a proper assessment of him as a performer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Probably best to let time pass before a proper assessment of him as a performer He's the only guy I ever seen have a bad match with Ricky Steamboat (in All Japan, for reference). He was the lesser worker of his tag team with Brody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Obviously you should've been watching his 1982-84 WWF stuff instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I have too. It doesn't hold up at all. Nothing he did holds up actually. He was a total one move wonder. I have never seen any stuff from Snuka anywhere that was particulary good. He was lazy as shit too. Almost Muraco like but without the talent. Funny because Snuka vs Haku on Superstar in 1990 was probably one of the very first match that hooked me up on pro-wrestling (one of the very first competitive match I remember along with Santana vs Perfect for the IC title).

JerryvonKramer Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Best Snuka matches I've seen: Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka vs. Dory and Terry Funk (12/13/81) **** Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk vs. Stan Hansen and Jimmy Snuka (4/16/82) ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Snuka, for me, was more about moments than matches. The Cage leaps, the Piper's Pit coconut, that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 The Snuka vs Muraco feud has many awesome matches. Completely under-rated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
