from wikipedia.org:

James Reiher (born May 18, 1943) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Originally from the Fiji Islands, Snuka wrestled for several wrestling promotions in the 1970s and 1980s. He is best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation in the early- to mid-'80s, and is credited with being the first ECW Heavyweight Champion and introducing the high-flyer style of wrestling to the WWF.

When I was in Haddonfield, NJ, Jimmy Snuka lived in the house next door to his manager "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers at the bottom of Cole Mill Road. Part of my daily run involved cruising past his home [avoiding the police cars] and summiting "Snuka's Hill"

I never measured it in terms of length, or elevation, or steepness; just how it felt to grind up it.

With all of the moving around I did in subsequent years, I have never been able to find a satisfactory replacement. Although this is close:
