Rest In Peace Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka


We would like to extend our condolences to the Family of Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. Jimmy was 73, and was suffering from stomach cancer. He recently was deemed unfit to stand trial for the death of his girlfriend in 1983 as we have previously reported.

Jimmy was known as a high flying wrestler, who was very much the inspiration for what you see in wrestling today. Jimmy was also one of the few wrestlers to wrestle barefooted. He also was the first person to wrestle the Undertaker. In his career he worked for many wrestling companies and territories, and worked the independent wrestling circuit until 2014.

On a personal note. I worked on a few shows with him during the time I was involved in wrestling. He treated everyone with respect, whether you were the champ or the ring crew, and was a very humble man. It was always a pleasure to be in his presence.

Rest in peace.

SABU: BLOOD, GUTS&BARBED WIRE 2017 Calendar

Sabu recently had hip replacement surgery as I wrote about previously. His manager, and my wrestling comrade, Melissa Coates is doing an incredible amount of work to help him get the funds to pay off the surgery, and to live, as he can no longer get an income from wrestling. The message below is from Melissa, who is currently helping Sabu get merchandising going. If you want to help him out, please buy through the info below, and please share this story!

 

SABU: BLOOD, GUTS&BARBED WIRE 2017 calendars now available. Limited number and these are almost gone! Get this awesome calendar in tribute to the Hardcore Icon Sabu, and help him pay off his hip surgery at the same time!

Go to: Gofundme.com/prowrestlersabu for any immediate donations, or invest in his hardcore calendar. $30 USD plus postage ($5 for US/CAN orders, $10 for international, please US funds only!) to paypal coateswrack@yahoo.com (his Super Genie Melissa Coates is his manager and handling his merchandise at the moment, including the Sabu Souvenir Boxes) as family/friend to avoid excess charges, and include your full address. You can inbox Melissa on her realmelissacoates fb acct, or email her at melissacoates@yahoo.com regarding other payment methods.

Sabu also has turbins, wrestling pants, barbed wire, action figures, kendo sticks, broken table pieces, dvds, 8x10s, tshirt, baseball caps, many other custom orders available. Everything can be verified to be official SABU merchandise through a certificate of authenticity, and photos of Sabu signing the item you have purchased. Be aware that just buying Sabu merchandise from anywhere DOES NOT MEAN THE MONEY IS GOING TO SABU…the only way to do this is to order through Sabu or through his Super Genie Melissa Coates, or through companies like www.prowrestlingtees.com which is the premier wrestling fans’ online tshirt store, and has a selection of amazing Sabu Tshirts, including their HARDCORE LEGEND tshirt which was made as a limited edition tshirt and includes an autographed 8×10 to donate $ towards Sabu’s recent hip replacement surgery.

Anyone wanting to donate directly, can go to gofundme.com/prowrestlersabu. Email melissacoates@yahoo.com for more any questions, comments or ideas.
