He's literally a murderer. What's wrong with you..?

When America was great. WWII vets were still America’a gatekeepers

That’s not merely a bad night though man, c’mon.

@@mattm3729 to a child? yes it is

@@CinHalCedHerChance he’s saying Snuka merely had a bad night

Except for the whole “murdering Nancy” thing, of course.

​@@DeeEllEffI'm so confused how everybody acts like that didn't happen. Even scrolling through these comments. And then also wrestlers themselves & WWE as a whole doesn't acknowledge it.

Kinda eerie, right

Hot Rod was always so good to fans. Patient , kind , funny , and happy to talk to anyone who wanted to talk to him. Still have my autograph from him . RIP Hot Rod. We miss you. And Superfly so deserved that coconut.

I do have to say as a young fan who is what's wrestling his entire life I look up to WWE Hall of Famers but no other shows and rowdy rowdy Piper and WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Superfly Snuka when Jimmy Snuka first appeared in professional wrestling I was not born I wasn't born when Roddy Piper first appeared either but every match that I've seen everything that I've seen with Mr Snuka and Mr Parker has been so amazing I can't help be a fan of both Rowdy around Piper in the late great give me something Jimmy Snuka to me deserves and should be an honorable member but the NWA wrestling hall of fame Jimmy stick is one of the greatest wrestlers of all times when Jimmy Snuka and Roddy Piper both got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame different years yes but Jimmy Superfly snooker and Rowdy Roddy Piper or two of the greatest wrestlers of all time their Feud I went back so far I remember seeing a match that they had with SummerSlam Jimmy Snuka and Roddy Piper both did not win they'd be resorted to a double count out and a magic Survivor series that mattress only to a disqualification then the big match came up the Royal Rumble do you need to watch naked unliminated Rowdy Roddy Piper in the feud on yes Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka I miss and love you both I cannot wait till one day staying in the WWE Hall of Fame for you two great Legends will stand for the length of time

Nicest wrestler I've ever met and I've met a lot. Incredible, sincere-legend.

Should have made Snuka/Piper a Wrestlemania match

The Piper/Snuka feud never had an ending, it just fizzled out, why? How can a feud be great with out a great ending like the Muraco cage match from the year before?

Almost no one agreed with McMahon/Dunn

Yeah thats why he did the half black face at WM6

​@@cutekanjii Pathetic you are...

😂😂

@@cutekanjii when you're getting paid a few million and this is your only meal ticket, you dance when you're told.

A “heart of gold”? How about, a “heart of platinum”!

He... was a murderer..

​@@Gameboy-Unboxingswhat does that have to do with his wrestling? Were you there? Do you know what happened? Maybe she had sex with his dad. Maybe she abused him daily. Take a seat white knight.

I’d have to disagree with that. Argentina Apollo was in WWWF from 1963-68, and was the O.G. barefoot high-flyer. Snuka didn’t get started until the ‘70s.

me too... it felt really dark in my young mind.... it always stuck with me, that uncomfortable feeling....

Same here. That made Piper the legend killer. Snuka was never the same. Buried.

How people remember things are different, so different and what one thinks is a horrible thing to do and regrets another has lived a different life and co.es to terms with different things and ones regret is another fortune. That's why it's important to return. And make peace with the past and most of all forgive yourself.

Piper is a little convuluted but he has also is trying to tiptoe around Snuka having a bad drug problem at this point and the thing that happened with Nancy. Whereas Jimmy wasn't really asked about that..

Lol yeah he played the "me no speak english" card when the police were interviewing him over his gfs murder. I wonder if any if them seen this interview. Mined u they got paid by vince to cover it up

Back then, guys like Snuka were all about the business. Countless wrestlers have said Snuka was great to work with in the ring. He was an awesome athlete that could sell extremely well.

That 'coconut to the head' pales in comparison to Col. DeBeers shoving Snuka off the top rope, and on to the concrete floor.

he was in a few movies. Bad movies but movies non the less. one was where he had a pair of sunglasses that allowed him to see aliens that were all apart of society. Horrible movie..

@@danielmeuler2877 Yeah, They live. Real cult classic stinker.

A lot of other people disagree. Not academy award. But a lot of people like it.

Yeah, and always check the fine print... where they get you...all the time.

He did.

@@jamesgabioud6654 Any videos of that? I'd love to see them. I bet he was hilarious.

@@steveharrington8705 A&E is doing like 8 bio's on different wrestlers. Stone Cold, Piper, Savage and so on. The Piper one was the second one they talk about it at or near the end. So far all the ones I watched were really good. I cried like a baby at the end of the Piper one. Piper is and always will be the GOAT. 🐐 Only one I didn't watch was Booker T. Never really liked or cared for him. 4 more left to watch. I recommend you check them out. As far as video I would say RU-vid it maybe?

And Jack tripper

John Ritter

You mean how they look like Piper?

@@jamesgabioud6654 Point taken.

I used to think Fox's attitude as Alex Keaton was modeled after Piper

I wonder if he ever explained to Snuka later what led to that happening.

Piper went on to make plenty of money and main events while the promoters pushed Jimmy further and further down the card making less money.

He was but he wasn't on the card.

Many wrestlers have difficulty categorizing him as a murderer, because the Jimmy they saw and often worked with was quiet, demure, respectful, and a genius in the ring. What's more, the programs he worked with them made each of them alot of money, as he was an incredible draw (especially in the pre-Hogan days). For Jimmy, I think he carried around the weight of that fateful evening for the remainder of his life (which is why he was always so quiet)- not only because of what he likely did, but because in all likelihood, he had no recollection of doing it. Drug addiction is a terrible thing. It affects each person differently - so much so, that the individual affected can become an entirely different person under the influence of it. Nancy Argento knew a monster that night. The rest of the world saw a different Jimmy Snuka.

@@semperconstance The rest of the world is misinformed. Wrestlers performed in those days all but 2 weeks out of the year. They were around each other more than their families. These guys know each other. The credibility favor the peers

@@marvelandgroup No, the rest of the world is not misinformed. Jimmy Snuka was a great guy when sober, when on cocaine he was a beast. Tony Atlas has regaled about his drug use, Nancy's family has also come forth about how he was off drugs and on. If you'd rather live in denial, that's your choice, but Snuka did kill Nancy while messed up on coke. Just before he died, Snuka was being charged with her murder.

@@DoppelgangerShockwave he died a free man up to 73 years old. How many wrestlers regularly on coke and steroids have lived that long?None What proof do you have that he did it ?

Piper says it really hurt him and he was never the same on an interview w the brain and mean gene

The wrestlers of that era never stop trying to working us ;-) Just watch Hannibal TV when Jannetty talk about the Barber shop incident and then compare that to the actual segment (and pay close attention to what Jannetty is doing with his hands)

Watch the video again, when he drops the 3rd coconut, the 2nd rolled off the table back into the bag

He did allegedly kill his wife, cocaine issue, so I see roddies issue of trust as ligit, guy coked out his nut, demands my trust, I'd have reservations.

Of course it was a work .

They probably did, piper is always trying to keep kayfabe probably why he rambled in coherently in his interviews doesn’t want you to be quite able to decifer what it is he’s actually saying.

He hit him with the wrong one. There was one that was gimmicked and he chose the wrong one. Oops.

I think he's unknowingly making a reference to the industry being partially responsible for Snuka's mental deficiency, with head shots.

@Hybrid Eye78 the whole wrestling industry was built on a lie and deception

Yeah, but WWF's gimmicks don't always go as planned.

The coconut Piper used to smash Snuka he didn't drop. It was the last one in the bag and he held it until he smashed it on Snuka's head. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GKXpSyjfIik.html I have cracked open coconuts before and those things are hard as rocks. Very difficult to open. No way would it explode like an egg against a person's head like that. Also, there were was no coconut water that went flying out. No doubt that coconut was gimmicked.

Roddy kept this one going until the day he died. Any sensible person knows like you said how hard a coconut is. It would never just explode like that and more importantly you would kill someone. Also, notice there's little to no water when the hit takes place. It was drained and precracked.

@@jeremyc9593 You can't FAIL to gimmick a coconut. You crack it apart with a hammer or something, then tape it back together with invisible tape. It's not like a guitar.

@@Messiah717 Yep, and put back together with Scotch tape..

It was a gimmick coconut. Watch the original segment again. Roddy made sure he never dropped the coconut he hit Jimmy with. Once he picked it up he didn’t drop it.

Youll get 🥥 1 day

He has a quality that makes you want to root for him, definitely.

You could tell he at least knew of the allegations in this interview. He almost let it slip a couple times. I’m almost certain a lot of them didn’t see that side to snuka, so it was probably hard to believe and easy to try to not think about.

Funny how times change...i feel worse about how piper took this than snuka

Her last words were cries for help......and Snuka snuffed her out.

TRUE!!!! Snuka killed his teenage GF, covered it up, Vince waved his hand and BINGO.....

He's LYING.

He went through a LOT in his early life, and alleged some sexual abuse at the hands of some of the older guys in the business. You could tell he was always running from something inside his mind.

All the time look up that kid that jumped in with that guy from ECW his name alludes me this second but it's famous kid was dressed as a security guard and the guy nearly killed him

Macho was pretty close, but Snuka was the best.
