Jimmy Snuka Added to 2017 WrestleCon Events Despite Being Deemed “Mentally Incompetent to Stand Trial”

June 28, 2016

In a move that is likely to turn some heads, Jimmy Snuka has been added to the 2017 WrestleCon events during WrestleMania 33 week in Orlando.

Four weeks ago on June 1st, a Lehigh Valley, PA judged ruled that Snuka was not mentally competent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino.

As we noted last week, Chief Deputy District Attorney Charles Gallagher filed a motion asking that Snuka be compelled to participate in outpatient mental health treatment for 60 days “to ascertain whether the defendant can be competent to stand trial.”

A hearing on the motion has not yet been scheduled, but Snuka’s defense claims his condition will not improve.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
