 | A news item involving Jimmy Snuka was featured on Wikipedia'sMain Page in theIn the news section on 15 January 2017. |  |
Back in the late 80s, a woman who was romantically involved with Snuka died of head trauma. Snuka was never charged, but a lot of people believe he did this.
I did a search. All I could find was a post from EZBoard, with a (dead) link to the article, and what I believe is the article itself, copy/pasted into a post.

Anyone want to tackle this?McJeff07:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to ask about this here is the link that can helphttp://www.forbes.com/2007/06/28/book-review-wrestling-oped-cz_mm_0628wrestling.html?partner=yahootix towards the bottom it talks about it.
When I showed the information in Jimmy Snuka's Wikipedia article to a psychic she told me that YES HE DID KILL HER and she can hear him saying "Nancy, I'm sorry".— Precedingunsigned comment added by64.114.128.5 (talk)20:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This section is clearly awful and POV riddled, but can anyone find anything to salvage anything from it? I'm reluctant to delete the whole sectionRegards2jimi17:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not only is it awful and POV-riddled, as you said, it's not even remotely true. Bruiser Brody, Ray Stevens, and Terry Funk all pre-dated Snuka in "ring intensity" by years--all the more laughable that Funk is used as a figure that Snuka influenced. Whatever feud that writer has with the Warrior's website, it needs to be taken somewhere else. Chalk this up as one vote for a complete deletion of the section.
Furthermore, the last two entries on the Trivia section are useless: Snuka did not invent the "I Love You" gesture and "the Phenom" was a common nickname for Snuka when he came back to the WWF in the late '80s. "The Phenom" tag didn't get applied to the Undertaker until years after WM7--there is no relationship between those nicknames whatsoever. These are being removed.PeteF304:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)Wrong answer pally boy. Snuka did define ring intensity before even the Brawlers of Terry Funk and Bruiser Brody ever did. Look up the facts instead of being so one-sided. I for one do not segregate brawler wrestlers from aerial wrestlers, and even without the aerial and brawling attacks of each of these wrestlers, Snuka still matched the definition of intensity the most. It is the definition of intensity that you also should examine more bucko[reply]
Since you apparently wrote the section, I'd say it's up to you to provide the facts and sources. Brody was a major star in the US in the mid-1970's, while Snuka was still in relative obscurity in the Pacific Northwest. Terry Funk was already a World Champion. Ray Stevens had a wild, aerial-with-brawling style even earlier than them, going back to the early '60s. Those are just 3 guys off the top of my head who pre-dated Snuka when it came to "intensity," however you want to define that. (And no dictionary I've ever seen defines intensity as "flux.")65.186.74.19407:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Intensity is defined as energy flux that is pertained to an extreme degree. This can pertain to force, strength, quality, and/or power. And the reason why the article has a questionmark is because of the debate on whether or not modern-day ring intensity is true recognized ring intensity
That definition is nowhere in any dictionary I've seen. Further, there's absolutely no evidence that Snuka was a "pioneer" in anything except possibly moves off the top rope and bizarre interviews. This "debate" does not belong in an encyclopedia.PeteF302:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Too, bad, there is a ton of evidence in the video archives of Snuka's intensity. Read the dictionary better, because yes this is the definition is in the online dictionary and other dictionaries.[reply]
Yes I am bright, for your information, and the facts I do present are variable from watching various wrestling archive videos year by year. I am obviously more brighter then your unlogical and hypocritic mind You are also a coward for erasing my external links too, which prove my points further of who he influenced too. Quit defaming Snuka. And yes I am matching the given policy of of "Encyclopiedic content must be verifiable."
I had a go at it today, adding a lot more links and revising/expanding the '80s WWF career section, see what you think. I didn't touch the trivia section.Cbj7712:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The link to his hall of fame page dosnt work so i got rid of itY2J RKO16:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't there be a link of for the source from when he was charged with murder of his girlfriend?
Here's one I found:http://www.wrestlingclassics.com/wawli/New161-170.htm
I check pages listed inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofJimmy Snuka's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthis article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "WWEProfile":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.AnomieBOT⚡03:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If this article wants to be a Featured Article someday, it should replace OnlineWorldofWrestling sources with something better. That place is basically a Wiki these past few years, and it shows. But they're better than nothing, until that something better comes along.InedibleHulk(talk)19:45, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Given that Snuka has just formally been charged with murder, perhaps it's time to template this for ongoing events? --BRPierce (talk)01:10, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone remember seeing "Coconut Chaos" underneath his name on one of his WWE.com profile incarnations?
I saw it, was about to add it, but when I for some reason went back to double-check the Wayback Archive page I was using as a source, it was gone.
Now I'm thinking I might have hallucinated this or something... but in case I'm not, anyone up to checking through the archives and seeing if I'm right, if "Coconut Chaos" was used as a subtitle on his site profile and link to the source we can use as a nickname?
Sometimes minor URL variations cause weirdness in which archive date it will go back to so I might have skipped over it and confused HTTP with HTTPS or something.Ranze (talk)22:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Noticing a lot of reverted edits on this page. It looks like it should be locked to prevent further vandalismJaguar83 (talk)05:18, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If he's classified as a murderer and the IP wants to add it then they'd have to add the same thing to Benoits Wiki page.50.121.22.5 (talk)15:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
During the 1980s I used to watch Jimmy Snuka in a taped promotion called California Championship Wrestling. He did a number of their shows. Why is there no mention of this in the article?2600:1700:4260:35D0:2C5D:CF85:EB50:51C5 (talk)05:04, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
