Superfly Snuka:

WWE have decided to remove Superfly Jimmy Snuka's official profile from their site, and have released him from his legends deal as his legal troubles intensify. This is the second time this summer they have revoked the HOF profile of one of their stars, Hulk Hogan being the first. They later confirmed that they had done this pending the outcome of his current trial, but would look at the situation again at the conclusion of his case.

His legal team are making moves to have the case thrown out, citing multiple reasons...

• He is wheelchair bound.
• He needs to be fed via a drip.
• He is suffering from partial dementia, and finds it very difficult to follow what is going on.
• Has concussion syndrome from all the head trauma he suffered during his career.
• Has limited memories, and struggles with what he did the same day, and will find it impossible to recall something from 30 years ago.
• He did not write his book, it was ghostwritten from interviews done over a four year period.
• Was bailed out by his ex wife, who is one of the people accusing him of domestic battery.

His first hearing has already had to be delayed from September 21, as his legal representative could not work for him on that date.
