Adam Pearce shares picture from a match with 10-time champion; sends clear message
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce recently shared a social media update paying tribute to the late Jimmy Snuka. The wrestling legend is the father of WWE Superstar Tamina and former superstar Deuce.
Jimmy Snuka wrestled for several promotions during his career, which spanned over nearly five decades. The WWE Hall of Famer won numerous championships and accolades almost everywhere he went. Snuka passed away on January 15, 2017, at age 73.
Adam Pearce recently took to Instagram to share a picture of his match against Snuka. He faced the legendary professional wrestler only once at UPW Overload in 2004. The Fijian won the contest in a shade over three and a half minutes.
"Love somebody today ❤️🙏," Pearce wrote in the caption.

Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Chelsea Green is one of the most entertaining characters on the roster. The 33-year-old has had a long-standing 'rivalry' with the RAW General Manager. The latter was overjoyed when Green and her tag team partner, Piper Niven, were drafted to SmackDown earlier this year.
In an interview with Steve Fall of Ten Count Media, Chelsea Green stated she has been pitching for an intergender match against Pearce, with a stipulation that the winner would be the General Manager. Green further claimed that she would emerge victorious in the bout.
"I'm trying. I have been pitching for it for a year now. Oh yeah. I mean, look, I want a intergender match against where loser, because it is going to be him [Pearce], is not GM. Winner gets the GM position," she said. [From 09:39 to 09: 59]
