“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka versus WWF Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco inside a steel cage: October 17, 1983
The biggest feud of Snuka’s career took place in ‘83 — with WWF Intercontinental Champion “Magnificent” Don Muraco. On October 17, 1983, the two met in a steel cage at Madison Square Garden.
Snuka lost the match on a fluke: “Superfly” hit Muraco with a headbutt, and the champion flew backwards, over the top rope and out the cage door.
What happened next was a moment of legend: a bloody Snuka dragged Muraco back into the ring, climbed the 15-foot cage, and jumped off for the “Superfly” splash. The move is still impressive today.
