The guy who came up with the “Superfly Splash” was James Snuka. Besides wrestling, he even dipped his toes in acting and enjoyed popularity there. His wrestling career peaked in the ’80s. It dwindled after he was then suspected of being a witness in his girlfriend’s murder. He disputed these charges, but his dementia made it impossible to decide whether he was guilty. He died soon after being dismissed.
