A young Mick Foley once missed school to attend a match between Jimmy Snuka and Don Muraco at Madison Square Garden, inside of a steel cage.
He would watch Snuka lose the match, but drag Muraco to the ring and deliver the move that made him famous- The Superfly Splash from the top of the steel cage. This move would remain with Foley for the duration of his career, and he would emulate the same in his match with The Phenom at Hell in a Cell.
