In a manner similar to Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Snuka's name has been stricken from the WWE Hall of Fame. However, if, like Hogan, we knew then what we know now about their behavior, it's arguable that he would've never been inducted in the first place.

Snuka was inducted into the hall in 1996, long before the Hall of Fame induction was a Saturday night mega ceremony pushed hard as a WrestleMania weekend attraction by WWE.

The idea of Snuka having a "Hall of Fame" level career before 1983 can be doubted, but certainly everything after 1983 definitely made him worthy of induction.
