That's right.  Piper would have never fucked with him in real life.  There were a few people you didn't mess with in wrestling back in the 80's and that was Snuka, Meng, and of course....Dr David Schulz...especially him

I used to really enjoy watching Piper being humiliated by Hogan when Hogan was in N.W.O.

The real story is that Vince's Illuminati cult required a sacrifice and Vince told Jimmy to sacrifice her.  Illuminati made it so that Jimmy was never charged with anything even though everyone knew he did it.

I'm sure someone will come along in a minute and bore you to tears with the "official" version that does not explain why it was done or how he got away with it.

The death of Nancy Argentino

On May 10, 1983, a few hours after Snuka had performed in a WWF TV taping at the Lehigh County Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Snuka placed a call for an ambulance. When emergency personnel arrived on the scene at Room 427 of the George Washington Motor Lodge in nearby Whitehall Township, they found Snuka’s girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, in bad shape. She was transported to Allentown's Sacred Heart Medical Center, where she died shortly after of "undetermined craniocerebral injuries." Deputy Lehigh County coroner Wayne Snyder said “Upon viewing the body and speaking to the pathologist, I immediately suspected foul play and so notified the district attorney." Snuka was the only suspect involved in the subsequent investigation.

Charges were not pressed against Snuka, although the case was left officially open, meaning no official judgment on whether the incident was accidental or homicide was ever made. In 1985, Argentino’s parents won a $500,000 default judgment against Snuka in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, although Snuka appears not to have ever paid, claiming financial inability to do so

Here's an article I read years ago that sums up Snuka''s downfall pretty well.

I always felt bad for Jannetty too.  He carried Michaels in the old AWA on the stick and often in the ring.  Michaels was a "good" worker, but Jannetty was clearly the leader of that team.  In the WWF Michaels came into his own and Jannetty was just pushed aside.  And I've always heard good things about him.....he isn't bitter or anything like many others would be.

This story perplexed me as an 11 year old, and I truly believed that Hacksaw was a traitor against our great Country.
I thought for sure that President Ronald Reagan would personally take care of Hacksaw Jim Duggan for hanging out with the Iron Sheik.

"In 1987, Duggan and the Iron Sheik (Khosrow Vasiri) were pulled over by New Jersey police after a WWF event, suspecting Duggan of driving under the influence. After a search of the vehicle and the persons, police discovered that Duggan was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, while Vasiri was high on cocaine. Small amounts of cocaine were also found in the vehicle."

Just as an FYI, I was the absolute coolest kid in the 2nd grade because I saw Bob Backlund wrestle the Iron Sheik at the Philadelphia Spectrum.  Hulk Hogan was Backlund's manager, and eventually took off his cowboy boot, hitting the Iron Sheik over the head and busting him wide open.  As souvenirs, my Dad bought me both the Hulk Hogan #1 foam finger and Sgt. Slaughter's foam "cobra clutch".

My father suggested to his friend that he buy his child, Salvatore, a souvenir.  His friend replied:  "That kid is going to end up to be nothing but a mezzo-finocchio."

lol...I didn't end up half a fag

and for the record I was a bigger steamboat mark then I was a hogan mark....

actually, that was I lie- I was  a huger hogan  mark as a kid.  I loved steamboat but my respect for him surpassed my respect for hogan when i became a teenager and became "smarter"

There is no doubt that I watched both the NWA and the WWF.  My brother used to get PWI, so I used to read it.  Because of that, I was really into NWA, and the battles going on between Magnum T.A. and Ric Flair, The Road Warriors vs. Everyone, etc.  I hated Harley Race, and I thought he was just white trash.

One of my earliest memories of watching wrestling on TV was when Larry Zbyszko knocked out Bruno Sammartino with a steel chair.
I met Bruno at the AOBS dinner in Newark, NJ in 2009.  Awesome guy.

Ha! Sure. AMC just ran it, and I now have Tremors over my shoulder. Can't wait for Masters of the Universe to round out the cheese tray.
