Here was an interesting article for any old wrestling fans out there - and weren't almost all of us fans of wrestling way back when?
This is from Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, who is promoting his new book that reveals much about the wrestling world back in it's heyday (or, well, what I presume to be it's heyday) of the 1980's, before it got completely out of control and over the top to such ridiculous levels.
Included in the article, and with more detail in his book, is the famous, classic duel with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who also provides the Forward for the book. Mick Foley wrote the Introduction.
In the book, Snuka discusses his life, as well as some of the most memorable episodes during the wrestling days, including the famous interview on "Piper's Pit", and Snuka's sense of being marginalized during "Wrestlemania".
Not having read the book (maybe later), I cannot give a review of it, but the article was interesting and revealing in it's own right, and again, if you grew up on wrestling at all (back when it was WWF Wrestling of the 1980's), you'll probably want to take a look at this. Here's the info on it, and the link below:
