Dibiase states Snuka could go back to the Fiji Islands and live like a king with all that money. Plenty of coconuts and bananas. Snuka looks at the bag, then looks at Virgil who nods his head in approval. Snuka grabs one of the bundles of cash then looks at Dibiase.

Good way to re-brand by having Verne leave his position. Best of luck to the WWA and Jack Tunney.

Snuka and Magnum will be a force to be reckoned with. Dibiase might want to just buy a plane to get the heck out of the WWA
