Jimmy Snuka was THE ONLY superstar to be removed from the WWE Hall of Fame. 
This was the result of an incident that took place of May 10th of 1983. Superfly had arrived in Pennsylvania to pre record a wrestling event.  His 'on the road' girlfriend Nancy Argentino, would stay behind at the motel and wait for Jimmy to return.
After arriving home after the event, according to Jimmy, he tried to rouse Nancy, with no luck.  he then noticed a yellow fluid coming from her nose and mouth.
He would tell responding officers, that he and Nancy had been horsing around before he had left that day, and  accidentally, Nancy had hit her head, but had seemed fine immediately after the incident.  He would follow paramedics after they had intubated Nancy and were trying to get her to the hospital to save her life, at the hospital, his story would change, and he would say now that Nancy had done something to upset his, and he tried to remove himself from a tense situation and he had gently pushed her, and that was how she had sustained the injury.
Sadly, at about 2:30am, Nancy would succumb to her injuries.  After Nancys autopsy, there was red flags everywhere.  But, nothing lowers a red flag quicker than Vince McMahon and a large briefcase full of money.
In 2013, a reporter named Adam Clarke would release a story about the 1983 tragedy, for the 30th anniversary.  And this would shine a brand new light on Superfly.
This is the story of WWE superstar Jimmy Superfly Snuka.

TRIGGER WARNING
I consider this guy to be one of the infamous, most evil serial killers of all time.  In my opinion, he is right up there with the Ted Bundy's, the BTK's, Son of Sam....the worst of the worst. And these stories just get told, and retold, there's tons of documentaries about them, and it almost starts to feel like fiction, and then we give them these captivating nick names,
Well Rodney Alcala was given the name of 'The Dating Game Killer'.., and while it is technically true, he was on the Dating Game, and he was a killer, but the Dating Game, did not actually result in, or lead to any killings.  However it was smack dab in the middle of a killing spree that this monster was carrying out between California and New York.
From 1968 - 1979, Rodney Alcala managed to fool everyone around him, (it also didn't help that, at the time New York and California had multiple serial killers on the loose)
Rodney is suspected in the possible murders of up to 130 women.

On May 19th 1983, Diane Downs was driving down a secluded country road, with her three children Christie (8) Cheryl(7) and Danny (3).  They were out sight seeing after dusk, on the way home from Diane's friends home.  Everything, was going fine, until a 'bushy haired stranger' stepped out into the road, seemingly flagging down Diane as she drove.  Diane, not one to shy away from helping people, stopped her car, and got right out to address the man and, see if she could be of some assistance.  It was then that the man brandished a gun!  He informed Diane that he wanted her car, and when she responded with "you have got to be kidding me" the man, reached into the vehicle, somehow able to spot the children that were laying down, and he shot Cheryl, Danny, and Christie twice.  Diane, knew if she let this man take her car her children were going to die.  So she pretended to throw her keys, and when he fell for the trick, she got back in her car a drove like crazy to Mackenzie-Willamette Hospital.
If you know this story, you know that not everything is as it seems. This is the story of the worlds most (or at least in the running for) evil mother.
