Born James Reiher, Snuka started wrestling in 1969. He became the WCCW champion in 1977. He workedfor NWA in the '70s with Buddy Rogers as his manager. He came to limelight in the 1980s with the WWF, feuding with Rowdy Piper. He was perhaps the first high flying wrestler in th pro-wrestling history, giving birth to the new high-flying style of wrestling... He was the first man to jump off the top of a cage match! Snuka left WWF for a long time, but he came back in 1992 to ECW. He is currently in AWA.

[AWA] Jimmy Snuka is famous for his headbutts and most of all, his Superfly Leap. Don Muraco found that out first hand in 1983 when the two squared off in a cage match in Madison Square Garden with the WWF. Snuka executed the leap from the top of the steel cage, something that is still remembered today, and something that others have tried to emulate. Although the Superfly began his career as a hated rulebreaker, he has become one of the most loved stars of all time. He was a signature star with the NWA, the WWF, and also the AWA, and has returned to the AWA to carry on his dynasty.
