1. Jimmy Snuka Dove Off The Cage After NOT Winning The Intercontinental Championship
Six months after being accused of murdering Nancy Argentino, Jimmy Snuka's feud with Don Muraco over the WWF's Intercontinental Championship came to a head in a legendary steel cage match that involved Snuka diving onto Muraco from the top of the cage. What most people forget about the moment is that Muraco had already won the match. Was Snuka originally scheduled to win the Intercontinental Championship? More than likely. Did his possible murder charge play an issue in his punishment of not winning the IC strap? Again, more than likely. However, that's all forgotten when he makes the leap. One of wrestling's most legendary bittersweet moments, the fact that we always forget that Don Muraco didn't drop the Intercontinental Championship to Snuka (and why) is important.
