Ultimately, the only "heroes" left will be the ones too dead for their dirt to come out.
And even if it does, nobody will jump on it because they won't get the satisfaction of tearing down someone that they built up.

So how many more iconic WWF moments are going to get tarnished forever. We've now got Hogan slamming Andre Benoit & Eddie hugging in the ring Snuka flying off the top of the cage Will wrestlers please stop doing messed up shit! Match 1 in the streak. I imagine given he has cancer, they may try to get a plea. Particularly if Vince really covered anything up.

Cosby has effectively been destroyed. His career is dead. His legacy ruined. His body of work removed from re-runs. No one will ever respect or trust him again, and he's probably about a year or two away from literal death. I get all of that and god knows he deserves it, but it's still pretty shitty for the law to go "Welp, sorry, nothing we can do right here!" and then for this to happen. So Snuka gets charged after 32 years, but Bill Cosby gets off scot-free for raping 30+ women over the decades? There's a statute of limitations on Cosby's crimes unfortunately. I see. Still doesn't sit right with me, though.

It was bound to happen, but I still found it confounding that the WWE continued to honor his achiements (even if they were just that cage jump & getting hit with a coconut) and even bring him out on programming, though I believe it was because nothing had been official.
2015 has been arguably the worst year since 2007 since Verne Gagne, Dusty Rhodes, and Roddy Piper passed away, Hulk Hogan was exiled for a racist tirade, Snuka's finally charged of murder, and with the fact that a major promotion is likely gonna bite the dust (even though, like Hogan and Snuka, they deserved it).

Well this has been an interesting week for wrestling news and drama. And it's only Tuesday! Snuka: You and your cops came forward to arrest me at my home! My daughter is employed by a company possibly involved in covering up my crime. She may become one of the countless superstars going by only one name! A diva... with a dad erased from history. Bison: I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it. Snuka : You don't remember? Bison: For you, the day your past caught up with you was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

What's going to happen tomorrow? Is a young boy in a flying bubble going to be headed toward WWE Headquarters? That's the kind of week it's been. A crazed person on 'bath salts' going to try to eat people at WWE Headquarters?

Snuka's finally convicted of murder Not yet, he's not. Charged and Convicted are not the same thing. He very well may be in the future, but for now, he hasn't even had a (new) trial yet.

Its about time. I hope they can prove Vince helped cover it up. Why would you even want that? I get that you might not like the man and find him arrogant. I get people wanting him to step down and totally understand and even agree with a lot of the reasons. But to hope that someone helped cover up a murder is just totally disgusting. If he did then I hope he has to pay. But I honestly hope he in no way helped cover this up. As much as I would hate anyone I would never WANT someone to be convicted and accused of that. To wish this just seems totally ridiculous to me.

It doesn't make sense as it was pointed out to me a couple weeks ago, why would the "wild man" defense as the story we've all heard even work? Cops wouldn't excuse a murder just because the dude is "uncivilized" seeming.

So what happens next month? Dusty and Roddy die, Hogan is outed as a racist, and Snuka is charged with murder. Even if we all kind of thought he was guilty, this has been horrible year.
