The first time I met “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, I was still just a rookie on the independent wrestling circuit. I had nothing but fire in my heart, busted boots, and big dreams. Snuka was the reason I wanted to be in this game. He was the original sky-walker, the man who flew like he had wings, and the first wrestler I ever idolized.

That night in Allentown, Pennsylvania, I was suiting up in a dusty locker room when he walked in. The whole place got quiet—not out of fear, but out of respect. Superfly had that presence. The kind of aura you can’t fake.

We were booked on the same card. Me in the mid-show tag match. Him closing the night in the main. Afterward, I found myself in the hotel bar, too wired to sleep. And there he was—sitting alone, drink in hand, watching replays on the TV.

“Hey… Brodda… pull up a chair,” he said.

That was the start of something I’ll never forget.
We talked for hours—about wrestling, life on the road, and what it meant to connect with a crowd. He said:

“They gotta feel you in here,” tapping his chest. “Wrestling’s not just moves—it’s soul.”

⭐ Road Stories with Superfly

In Altoona, we got snowed in after a show—two wrestlers, a cold rental car, and gas station sandwiches. I thought we were stranded. Superfly just laughed.

“This is the life, brodda. It’s not always pretty, but it’s real.”

We ended up riding together a few more times. He shared stories of the territory days, the wild nights, the triumphs, and the pain. Through it all, he showed me how to carry myself with pride—not arrogance, but real confidence. He never looked down on me for being from the streets. In fact, he respected it. He understood what it meant to fight for everything.

❤️More Than a Legend

Superfly became more than just a wrestling legend in my eyes—he became a mentor, a friend, and a reminder that greatness is about more than fame. It’s about heart, humility, and honor.

To this day, before every match, I hear his words:

“Make ’em feel you, Gangsta. From the streets to the sky.”

Rest easy, Jimmy. Thank you for everything.
I’ll keep flying the flag—one match at a time.
