3. Super Fly: Mick Foley watches Snuka’s jump
No one ever flew in the WWE before Jimmy Snuka. His high-flying, death-defying antics captured the imagination of fans everywhere. None took to his flight as much as Mick Foley.
If you’re a fan of Mrs. Foley’s baby boy, then you might know the story by now, if not, here’s the gist of it: a young, fanatic Mick Foley goes to Madison Square Garden, watches Jimmy Snuka leap off the top of a steel cage and decides that is what he wants to do too.
From that moment on, he’d never be the same again. From his dive off the top of his roof to getting flung off the top of the “Hell in a Cell” cage, Foley would never stop doing the unimaginable in his quest for immortality… and it all started after one fateful night watching the Samoan high-flyer defy gravity.
