10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 2 Facts
4. Jimmy Snuka Was Once Considered As Hulk Hogan's Opponent
This story drips of hearsay and is potentially a tall tale, but it's never really been disproven, either. The recently-departed "Superfly", who had worked Hogan's corner at the inaugural WrestleMania, claimed years later that shortly after the event, Vince McMahon quietly pitched an idea where Snuka would turn heel on "The Hulkster", perhaps not until early in 1986, and work with him for the championship at WrestleMania 2.
The story goes that Hogan declined the match, claiming he had no desire work with a "crazy maniac" like Snuka.
Snuka was viewed as a key element in the 1983 death of Nancy Argentino, and before the end of June 1985, Snuka would be gone from WWE anyhow, not returning until 1989.
