10 Most Insane Conspiracy Theories In WWE History

This is where things get very, very murky.

“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka is currently undergoing a trail for the alleged murder of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino back in 1983. The case was never really solved, and after officially being reopened in 2013, it was turned over to a grand jury. Snuka was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in September 2015, and is currently awaiting a full trial after initial proceedings were halted on the grounds of mental incompetency.

There’s a conspiracy theory behind just about every major murder, and this particularly troublesome one suggests that WWE knew about the murder, but withheld evidence to protect Snuka. Theorists say that the company did everything they could to get Snuka off the hook, and while it’s not completely without the realm of possibility that they’d want to shield a valued employee, it’s incredibly far fetched to suggest they’d cover-up a murder.

Argentino died shortly after a WWE TV taping in Pennsylvania. “Traumatic brain injuries consistent with a moving head striking a stationary object,” was officially noted as the cause of death, and Snuka maintains his innocence.
