Piper's Pit: Roddy hits Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka with a coconut

Piper's Pit: Roddy hits Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka with a coconut, then stuffs a banana in his mouth

Piper, the ultimate heel, ridicules the Fijian with a deluge of cruel racial stereotyping.

Snuka, by the way, was actually named James Wiley Reiher, and was already more than 40 years old when he feuded with Hot Rod. He was still wrestling at the top of the card in that promotion when he was 48, and was just two months short of that birthday when he took on The Undertaker in Wrestlemania 7.

Hell, that was just the halfway point in his career. In an era when other wrestlers are dying young, Snuka wrestled on a Big Time Wrestling card last May 11th, just seven days before his 71st birthday!
