Superfly Jimmy Snuka bares all:

In a press blurb promoting WWE Hall Of Famer Superfly Jimmy Snuka's autobiography, he has confirmed that he will discuss the mysterious death of his former girlfriend Nancy Argentino, who it is believed was killed by Snuka in 1983...

''On May 10, 1983, a few hours after Snuka had performed at a WWF television taping in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he placed a call for an ambulance. When emergency personnel arrived on the scene at his hotel, they found Snuka's girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, injured. 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 him, although the case was left officially open—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 United States District Court, although he appears not to have ever paid, claiming financial inability to do so''.

Another Hall Of Famer George Steele has also written a biog, it will be released next spring.

Bret Hart talks Owen / Lawler:

Bret Hart has accepted his Brother Owen Hart's death was an accident, but said that he feels the deaths of his Father and Brother In Law The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith were quickened by the tragedy...

"After dealing with what happened with my brother Owen over the years, I've come to see it was a horrible accident, and I don't think Vince (McMahon) would want something like that to happen, It wouldn't be advantageous to anyone.''

"We were hurt by that, though. I don't think my dad ever got over what happened with Owen. It had a rebound effect with my dad and Davey. I think my dad and Davey would have lived a lot longer if not for Owen dying."

Bret also discussed the toll of being in the arena when Jerry Lawler had his heart attack on Raw...

"It was quite stricken in the locker room, and it was a horrible feeling. It reminded people of what happened with Owen, It was stressful for everyone from Vince McMahon to you name it. Jerry was fighting for his life. His heart stopped for 20 minutes, but those paramedics kept pushing on his chest and really worked hard to save him.

He ended on a positive note...

"Everyone carried on. The WWE should have been applauded for finally doing things the right way."
