In a move that is likely to turn some heads, Jimmy Snuka has been added to the 2017 WrestleCon events during WrestleMania 33 week in Orlando.

Four weeks ago on June 1st, a Lehigh Valley, PA judged ruled that Snuka was not mentally competent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino.

As we noted last week, Chief Deputy District Attorney Charles Gallagher filed a motion asking that Snuka be compelled to participate in outpatient mental health treatment for 60 days “to ascertain whether the defendant can be competent to stand trial.”
