It was taken the Monday morning after Wrestlemania XXIII in Detroit. We were in the airport getting ready to fly back to Nashville. We passed Jimmy Snuka drinking a Jack and Coke in the airport bar. I didn't want to bother him. Because I know how much I hate being bothered if I'm drinking at an airport bar at 9 in the morning. Still, he didn't seem to mind when I asked if we could get a picture.
He was pretty incoherent, but I did catch it when he said "Thanks brutha."
This was all before I knew he might have killed his girlfriend back in 1983.
He did an interview with Opie and Anthony a few years back, that I caught when I still had XM. It was actually a troubling interview. He seemed lucid, and candid. And his story seemed like complete bullshit.
He was declared incompetent to stand trial. The interview I heard was three or four years before that (I think...time's funny out here....).
He died yesterday.
He died yesterday.
