10 Second Generation WWE Stars Who Totally Failed

4. Deuce (Aka Sim Snuka Aka Jimmy Snuka Jr.)

WWE.comWWE.comFather: Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka When you go by multiple names it's not a good thing. His dad Jimmy Snuka was the "Superfly" that was one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE during the wrestling boom in the 1980s. In fact, most would say he was behind only Hulk Hogan for a number of years. While the Superfly didn't hold any gold in WWE (a very peculiar bit of info), he did win titles all over the world and was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame back in 1996. Deuce was one of half of the Deuce & Domino tag team that was on the Smackdown brand in 2007-08. They looked like guys straight out of the 1950s or an episode of Happy Days since they dressed like The Fonz and had the mannerisms that made him famous. The duo actually had a four month reign as tag team champions on the Smackdown brand although it's not like the tag team division was on fire during that period. The team lasted for about a year before splitting up. It looked like he would bounce back as Sim Snuka when he tried to join Randy Orton's Legacy group in late 2008, but that didn't end up happening. When it looked like he would be a part of it, they ended up beating him up and he never really got a chance to get revenge. He was gone from WWE after his role in what is arguably the best match ever as The Undertaker beat Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25 in 2009. YoutubeYoutubeSnuka was dressed as a cameraman that was supposed to catch Undertaker when he dove over the top (Michaels threw him into it), but he wasn't in the right spot and Undertaker landed head first. Snuka was released from his WWE deal soon after that. It was likely a case of WWE simply having nothing for him. It didn't help that he failed to catch one of WWE's biggest stars too.
