Update: WWE Removes Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka’s Name from the Hall of Fame Section of WWE.com (Updated with WWE Statement)

September 2, 2015

jimmy "superfly" snuka WWE has removed Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka from the Hall of Fame section of WWE.com. Snuka’s profile has also been removed from the website.

As noted, WWE did issue an official statement yesterday commenting on the news of Snuka’s arrest on 3rd degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, and they noted Snuka’s Legends contract is “under review.”

However, while Snuka’s name no longer appears in the Hall of Fame section, WWE has yet to make an official announcement regarding Snuka’s current Hall of Fame status.

WWE.com pulling Snuka’s name and profile is similar to what they did with Hulk Hogan, after his racial controversy took place back in July, however as of now it does not appear WWE intends to scrub Snuka from the site as they did with Hogan. WWE.com is still featuring articles and videos pertaining to Jimmy Snuka.

Update: WWE has issued the following statement in response to the above:

“Jimmy Snuka’s non-wrestling ‘legends’ contract has been suspended and we are currently removing his images from our media platforms pending the outcome of this case.”
