10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Jimmy Snuka
5. His Son Won More Championships In WWE Than He Did
Jimmy Snuka's son won more championships than his father did in WWE. Snuka's son, you ask? Yes, son. Deuce -- yes, of 2007 WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce and Domino fame -- is actually James Reiher, Jr. In the same vein of Joe Hennig being Curtis Axel, Deuce was not just pushed as Jimmy Snuka, Jr. Vince wanting legendary children to break out of their parents' shadow has actually been quite the curse for those not able to use their legacies as a way to gain a foothold in the company. In Deuce being released in 2009 after a very nondescript run in WWE, it's clear that he was not to follow in the same line of success as say, The Rock or Randy Orton.
