The signature move, in which Snuka vaulted off the rope and landed face-down on his opponent who lay prone on the floor, helped catapult the Fiji-born Snuka to 1980s fame with the World Wrestling Federation, now the WWE. He was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
On Sunday, Snuka’s daughter, Tamina Snuka, also a WWE star, tweeted “I love you dad.”.
Stephanie McMahon, WWE’s chief brand officer, called Snuka, “One of the greatest icons in the history of our business.”
Judge Kelly Banach determined Snuka was incompetent to stand trial based on his medical records and testimony provided by his defense attorney, Robert Kirwan II. Argentino’s death has been a cold case for decades.
Her family won a wrongful death suit against Snuka in 1985, but authorities didn’t charge him in the death.
Snuka is one of 50 former wrestlers named as plaintiffs in a July lawsuit against the WWE for long-term brain damage they say was incurred during their careers with the company.
