Jimmy Superfly Snuka diagnosed with stomach cancer

All that said, a painful death from cancer isn’t an end you should wish on anybody, no matter how checkered their past, and we here at With Spandex wish Jimmy Snuka and his family the best as he battles this bad disease.

She also said doctors believe they removed all of the cancer from his stomach.

Snuka was released from hospital on Friday – hours after his former ring rival “Rowdy” Roddy Piper died – and he is now in recovery. “They’re very happy with the outcome”, Carole Snuka said. Jimmy can take a beating. The doctor says he’s an amazingly strong man. And we all know how strong Jimmy is.

Well, unfortunately, Superfly has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. He says he’s ready for this fight. “And he also wants to let his fans know that he’s not done yet. And he will be back and visiting with his fans as soon as he feels up and ready to go”.

One of the biggest wrestling icons of the 1970s and 1980s, he had two full-time stints in the WWE.

After her emotional read, Carole continues to tell Apter, “And Roddy always gave 100 percent”. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, honest and authentic people I have ever known. Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and Piper feuded in the Portland area for years, then brought their rivalry to the WWF. Snuka was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996 and has returned to the WWE in numerous appearances throughout his semi-retirement.
