Former professional wrestling hall of famer Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka has been charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of his mistress more than 30 years ago.

A grand jury investigation into the death of Snuka's one time mistress, Nancy Argentino, 23, has found Snuka culpable with her death, after rehearing evidence from the case that initially went cold and saw Snuka, who was named as a person of interest initially, never face charges.

Snuka had been at a World Wrestling Federation taping at the Allentown Fairgrounds at the time when he returned to the Whitehall Township hotel room he and Argentino shared and found her unresponsive in bed-she was pronounced dead at a hospital hours later, from traumatic head injuries that were reportedly consistent with being hit by a stationary object.

According to the grand jury, Snuka also provided more than a half-dozen changing accounts of her injuries, including two stories where he said he hit her during an argument outside their room and she struck her head on concrete, as well as one where he claimed she slipped and fell during a bathroom break on their way to the hotel. Other potential evidence the jury heard included accounts that he had previously beat her in a hotel room in Syracuse, N.Y. four months before her death, and had also assaulted his wife, Shannon in 1993.

Naturally fans of Snuka are stunned of the latest developments in the case, which was broken wide open not long after another famous retired wrestler, Hulk Hogan, faced criticism for his use of racial slurs.

Most are upset that the wrestling icons of their childhoods keep disappointing them, and are enraged he is still in the hall of fame:

Others are shocked that the case has been reopened so late, and that he was found guilty now:


Others are expressing how happy they are that his being charged could mean justice for Argentino's family:

And more are feeling bad for his daughter, WWE diva Tamina Snuka:

Reps for the Argentino and Snuka families have not spoken out on the arrest.
