In an update on the ongoing Jimmy Snuka situation, Snuka’s attorney William E. Moore told the Allentown Morning Call that Snuka is not only battling stomach cancer, but that he is also dealing with partial dementia from all the physical punishment that he put his body through during his wrestling career and that whoever represents him in his criminal case will likely focus on whether Snuka is even fit enough to stand trial.
The report notes that Snuka was wheelchair bound and using a feeding tube when he surrendered yesterday to authorities and was accompanied by his wife Carole and his first-wife Sharon. Snuka, who has also been quietly removed from the Hall of Fame section on WWE’s official website, is slated for a preliminary hearing on September 21st in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
