TODAY, IT WAS ANNOUNCED WITH HEAVY HEARTS THAT 1996 WWE HOF'ER JIMMY "SUPERFLY" SNUKA DIED IN POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA AT THE AGE OF 73. SNUKA WAS BATTLING STOMACH CANCER! SNUKA ENTERTAINED MANY FANS IN THE 80'S WITH HIS TOP ROPE FLYING IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE! JIMMY WAS ONE OF THE 1ST TO FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE! HE MADE MANY APPEARANCES IN YORK, PA WRESTLING AT HANNAH PENN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND RED LION HIGH SCHOOL! I WITNESSED SNUKA WRESTLE MR. FUGI IN THE MAIN EVENT AT THE OLD RED LION HIGH SCHOOL GYM! THE ENERGY INSIDE THE GYM WAS INCREDIBLE FOR A THEN 10 YEAR OLD!! SNUKA JUMPED OFF THE TOP ROPE TO PIN MR. FUGI! EVEN THOUGH BOB BACKLUND WAS CHAMPION, JIMMY WAS EXTREMELY POPULAR AND WAS A TOP ATTRACTION ALONG WITH ANDRE THE GIANT FROM THAT ERA IN THE EARLY 80'S!!
ABOVE IS A SIGNED 8X10 PHOTO FROM JIMMY SNUKA! THIS WAS THE OLD PROMO PHOTOS FROM THE 80'S THAT THE STARS WOULD SIGN!! OBTAINED FROM HOUSE SHOW IN YORK, PA IN THE EARLY 80'S!!!
ABOVE IS AN WWF EVENT POSTER FROM A HOUSE SHOW IN 1983 FROM RED LAND HIGH SCHOOL! THANKS DAVE FOR THE PHOTO! I WISH I COULD LAND MY HANDS ON ONE OF THESE EVENT POSTERS! IF ANY READER HAS ONE FROM A YORK, PA, HARRISBURG, PA OR LANCASTER, PA WWF HOUSE SHOW EMAIL ME! WE COULD WORK OUT A DEAL ( TRADE OR CASH, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY)
