On a recent edition of his “The Snake Pit” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts discussed working with Jimmy Snuka, the alleged murder of Nancy Argentino, and more.
Snuka was indicted and arrested in September 2015 on third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges concerning the May 1983 death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino.
Although Snuka pleaded not guilty, he was found unfit to stand trial in June 2016 due to dementia.
Terminally ill with abdominal issues, Snuka’s charges were dismissed on January 3, 2017, twelve days before his death.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his memories of Superfly Jimmy Snuka: “Man, what a great athlete. He was an unbelievable baseball player, too. Yes, he was great at whatever he did, you know, whether it was playing baseball or flying off that top rope. He’s just a phenomenal athlete, man. Everything was nice and cool. We behaved ourselves.”
On Snuka allegedly being part of the murder of his former girlfriend: “I heard a lot about it, man. But I wasn’t there, and I don’t know what happened. You know, and Jimmy just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that would do something like that. So he’s very mellow.”
