Jimmy Snuka

Roster
 3-Winning the first ever King of the Ring

## Feud with Jake Roberts(1985-1986)

Jimmy Snuka was involved in the first ever canon WWF and Superstars match losing to Ricky Steamboat in a match that also involved Paul Orndorff to enter a fatal 4 way at SNME May to crown the first WWF champion.

Snuka entered and won the first ever King of the Ring defeating Orndorff in the finals, with that he got an Intercontinental Championship match against Jake Roberts who didn't take him seriously at all, their Summerslam match was the first ever steel cage match and we had the iconic imagery of Snuka doing the superfly splash from top of the cage but missing it as Roberts left the cage and won the match.

After that, Snuka tried to join Roberts but Roberts wasn't accepting that, Snuka forces it wanting to help Robert whether he wants it or not, this leads to Snuka accidentally costing Roberts the IC title which infuriated Roberts even further. Somehow, Roberts still accepts to team with Snuka for 1 match only in a Survivor Series elimination match, they win it and go on to have a NO1 contenders match for the tag titles at SNME December where Roberts leaves Snuka and reveals this was all a ploy so Snuka could feel what it's like losing a big chance and he wants to make sure he'll end Snuka's career. They have a loser leaves WWF no DQ match at Wrestlemania 2 which Roberts wins and Snuka is forced to leave WWF

## Return to WWF(1989-1992)

At Summerslam 1989, Hulk Hogan defeated Haku and Andre The Giant in a triple threat match to retain the WWF title, afterwards Haku and Andre beat up Hogan and Jimmy Snuka made his surprise return helping out Hogan, Rick Rude tried to cash in but Snuka attacked Rude ending the cash-in match in a DQ. Hogan and Snuka started teaming up but they lost to Colossal Connection at SNME September.

Tito Santana was injured midway through the G1 and Snuka won a battle royal to take his place with his points, everyone in the G1 said this was unfair but it led to nothing as Snuka defeated Arn Anderson to win the G1. The intercontinental champion Dusty Rhodes was particularly pissed about this unfairness and challenged Snuka to a Intercontinental title match at Superstars 200 which Snuka won. At Survivor Series 1989 it was the first ever champion vs champion match as Hulk Hogan defeated Jimmy Snuka to retain the WWF title and win the IC title, Snuka turned heel on Hogan after and continued their feud onto the Royal Rumble where Snuka yet again lost, this feud was negatively recieved by fans and critics and Snuka got go-away heat.

At Royal Rumble, Rick Martel showed security footage which revealed that Snuka was the one who injured Tito Santana midway through the G1, Tito defeated Snuka at Wrestlemania 6.

Jimmy Snuka won a battle royal at Summerslam becoming the NO1 contender to the IC title and was defeated by Koko at G1 Finals. With the start of the New Generation, Snuka started fading away on the spotlight but was still involved in a Survivor Series Elimination match between the Old Generation(Jake Roberts, Roddy Piper, Ted Dibiase and Jimmy Snuka) vs the New Generation(Rick Martel, Undertaker, Shane Douglas and Jim Neidhart) Snuka was eliminated by Martel but Old Generation won. Due to the Survivor Series Lottery, Snuka got a tag title shot along with Jake Roberts as a blast from the past but they failed to win the titles.

Jimmy Snuka started his farewell tour at Survivor Series 1991 defeating Shawn Michaels due to accidental distraction by Marty Jannety, during this farewell tour Snuka only had 2 singles matches losing to Neidhart and Shawn Michaels. His farewell tour ended at Wrestlemania 8 as he challenged any man to face him, he was defeated by the debuting WCW guy Sycho Sid in his last ever match.
