Can anyone shed closure on this for me?

Mick Foley had planned all along to do the throw off the top of the cage spot to begin the match. He talked about it with Taker several times before KOTR, and every time Taker said no. Finally, UT gave in when Foley told him that this was the only thing he could think of to revive his dwindling career. Being the crazy bastard he is, Foley did it, and then got up to finish the match.
The second spot was not planned. Foley wanted UT to chokeslam him on top of the cage, but he had no idea that the cage would rip and he would fall 10 feet to the ring. He was knocked out, lost several teeth and broke some bones. Had it been planned, I'm sure they would've taken more precautions (as they did at No Way Out vs. HHH several years later).
