When you think about classic WWE moments, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka will be found in a good handful of them. The legendary Fijian pro wrestler's iconic splash onto Don Muraco at Madison Square Garden in 1983 is ingrained in the minds of wrestler fans around the world.

We've also got "Rowdy" Roddy Piper bashing Snuka over the head with a coconut, the Hall Of Famer becoming the first victim of The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak, and him being a vital part in Hulk Hogan and Mr. T's triumph over Piper and Paul Orndorff at WrestleMania 1.

Though he was a well-accomplished and decorated performer outside of the company, his time with WWE saw him become one of the top babyfaces in all of professional wrestling.

Despite all that, Snuka would never actually find success regarding titles in WWE.


#6 "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff (WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2005)

The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2005 was centered around Hulk Hogan, the headliner of the show that year. Allies and enemies of the Hulkster were all inducted into the Hall of Fame, including Roddy Piper, The Iron Shiek, Jimmy Hart, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, and Nikolai Volkoff.

Another man inducted on that night was one of the most vital ingredients in the rise of Hulkamania back in the 80s, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff. The multi-time NWA National Heavyweight Champion was a featured player in the Golden Era of WWE and within a month in the company was challenging Hogan for the World Title.

Following their feud, Orndorff would become an ally of Hogan in his ongoing rivalry with Piper and Orton. However, despite all his success, Paul Orndorff never actually captured any championships while working with WWE.
