I'm gonna get right down to the point. One of the spark plug wires popped out of the socket that holds the spark plug. I was driving and all of a sudden my car started miss-firing, it seemed. It would only happen under excessive throttle.

Anyone have any information on why this happened or what else could possibly be wrong? Thanks!

check the tightness of that plug and give the plug boot a good push to seat it firmly.

Ya I would think that it must not have been on correctly, and yes, as SVTtech suggests, make sure to check the plug for tightness.

Plug was, and is still, really tight. I wonder what could have caused that.
