The world of professional wrestling
was shocked and saddened when WWF
legend Jimmy Snuka was arrested and charged
with murdering his girlfriend during an
incident in 1983. Now, fans have taken to social
media to express their feelings over the
surprising news.
Wrestling legend Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, 72, was charged
with the murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Argento , who was
found dead in their shared hotel room in 1983. The
wrestler surrendered to Lehigh County authorities in
Allentown, Pennsylvania on Sept. 1, where he was
arraigned and sent to the county jail under $100,000 bail,
which he later posted. Wrestling fans took to Twitter to
express their sadness and shock at the arrest of the WWE
Hall of Famer.

Jimmy will reportedly be charged with committing third-
degree murder, which means a killing with malice. It
carries a maximum sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison.
The WWE would only say that it “expresses its continued
sympathy to the Argentino family for their loss. Ultimately
this legal matter will be decided by our judicial system,” in
a statement issued to PWInsider.com .
