#11 The 'Superfly Splash' on Don Muraco (Steel Cage Match, 1983)

There are some moments in the history of WWE which are looked on as iconic for the company. One such instance was in 1983.

Jimmy ‘The Superfly’ Snuka was facing none other than Don Muraco. They faced each other in a Steel Cage match back at Madison Square Garden. The match saw Snuka lose, but he was not done with Muraco.

He brought him back to the ring and jumped off the 15-foot high cage. This "Superfly Splash" is one that has gone down in history for being iconic, coming at a time when there was not much high-flying action.

During this match, Mick Foley, Bubba Ray Dudley, Tommy Dreamer, and The Sandman were all present, and they confessed that the match was the reason they decided to wrestle.

The splash was executed at a time when 'high spots' were a rarity in the industry and it helped catapult Snuka to unimaginable levels.

Given their contribution to wrestling, it can be said that the match had a lasting effect.
