As noted yesterday, WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. The charges stem from the death of Snuka’s then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino back on May 11th, 1983. Snuka is out on bail and at home with his wife.
WWE issued the following statement:
“WWE expresses its continued sympathy to the Argentino family for their loss. Ultimately this legal matter will be decided by our judicial system.”
WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka has been arrested for the 1983 murder of his then girlfriend Nancy Argentinto. Snuka is being charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter according to Lehigh County authorities.
Snuka was arrested this morning in New Jersey and arraigned at about 1:50 p.m. He is currently in county jail under a $100,000 bail.
According to Sarah Cassi of LehighVallyLive, Snuka is believed to be posting $10,000 bond on a $100,000 bail right now, with the surrender of his passport as a condition of his release. With Snuka undergoing cancer treatment, it was felt that incarcerating him would be an undue financial burden on taxpayers. The district attorney noted that they cited Snuka’s inaction in getting Argentino medical attention for her head injury.

Former UFC and PRIDE Fighting Championships heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has officially announced his retirement from the sport of mixed martial arts.
Nogueria made the announcement today during a UFC press conference in Brazil. Nogueria came up short in his last bout against Stefan Struve who won by unanimous decision at UFC190
During the UFC190 post fight press conference Dana White said he felt like Nogueria was done and that he was going to talk to him about retirement. White also went on to say he would offer Nogueria a position as brand ambassador for fighters and fans.
Nogueria accepted the position and will begin work within the company immediately. Throughout the past 16 years, Nogueira has been a stalwart in the heavyweight division, well known as one of the most ferocious submission fighters to ever compete in the sport. He became PRIDE heavyweight champion in 2001 after defeating Heath Herring and would win his next five fights in a row before being dethroned by Fedor Emelianenko.
On behalf of MMA fans everywhere that you Big Nog for all the moments and memories
