October 17, 1983 – Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Madison Square Garden presents another major night of WWF action featuring top stars from across the roster, headlined by a WWF World Heavyweight Championship main event as Bob Backlund defends against The Masked Superstar in a heated contest that brings a controversial close to their latest encounter at the Garden.
The card also features a highly anticipated WWF Intercontinental Championship steel cage match as The Magnificent Muraco defends against Jimmy Snuka in one of the defining rivalries of the early 1980s MSG era. The match is remembered for its brutal cage warfare and, most famously, Snuka’s breathtaking high-risk leap from the top of the steel structure — a moment that became one of the most iconic visuals in Madison Square Garden wrestling history.
Elsewhere on the card, Andre the Giant faces Sika in a featured attraction bout, while Sgt. Slaughter continues his intense run against Ivan Putski.
