Superfly Snuka.
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, the high-flying Fijian-born professional wrestler who rose to fame alongside icons Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Andre the Giant in Vince McMahon's WWE (then the WWF), is dead at the age of 73.

Recently he wasn't found fit to stand trial for murder. I think that coconut Piper bashed over his head really did a number on him.

Macho Man Randy Savage you fucking disrespectful heathen. You probably remember him from Spider-Man.

Savage and Miss Elizabeth are dead too. I think Bigelow is as well?

George the Animal Steele played a brainless idiot with a heart of gold and he used to eat the stuffing out of the turnbuckles. In real life he had a masters degree.

Bam Bam died long ago. Savage is totally dead, he outlived Miss Elizabeth and Sensational Sherri.

Also liked him in Ed Wood. He was damn near spot on as Tor.

Who was the wrestler that appeared in Major Payne? I used to know his name. He had the flame tattoos on his head.

I remember him from wrestling and the slim jim commercials, but I have no memory of him being with The Lovely Elizabeth.

I remember my girlfriend in 1987 was heavy into wrestling, and she was of the opinion that The Lovely Elizabeth... and the guy she performed with (I guess Randy Savage)... were definitely boning.

No memory of that. Were their... personas married? I don't know why she and I would have had that conversation if that was public knowledge.

I don't know.

She had nice tits, I remember that. That girl I was dating, I mean.

Personas? No. And they didn't get along that well. She had a hell of a coke habit from what I understand.

Bam Bam Bigelow. He became mainstream when he wrestled Lawrence Taylor. (That's a sports ball guy.)

Not initially, but they did acknowledge their wedding later. I seem to remember a wedding that Jake the Snake invaded or something.
And they didn't get along that well. She had a hell of a coke habit from what I understand.
I think that's how she died. She was dating Lex Lugor.

Major Payne is a good movie. They definately had a Marine advisory, his uniform and mannerisms are always perfect.

I know it was horrible, but I simply can't dislike it.
