5 WWE Superstars we lost in 2017

#2 Jimmy Snuka

It's The Superfly, brotha

Father of current WWE Superstar Tamina, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka was one of a kind. As he wrestled with bare feet, he left millions in awe of his high-risk offence in a day and age where that was not the norm at all. He was one of the top babyfaces in the 1980s and carried his demeanour and charismatic energy where ever he went.

He was not only a part of the infamous "coconut smash" segment where Roddy Piper laid him out with the tropical fruit because few could do what he did in the ring with the same intensity.

Although Snuka's life might have ended in the middle of a court case surrounding the 1983 death of Nancy Argentino, this WWE Hall Of Famer had an incredible career that will certainly live on. It is important to remember that Snuka was never convicted of Argentino's death either as the charges were dismissed just twelve days before his death on January 15, 2017, at age 73.
