10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Rockstar Spud
5. Spud Lost To Matt Hardy's Son Maxel
How many wrestlers in the world could lose to a one-year old kid and still come out smiling? Not many, but then not many have the same attitude towards their craft as Rockstar Spud. In that same interview with The Buzzards Wrestling Podcast, Spud said he didn't mind being beaten by Matt Hardy's son, because he's a heel and therefore supposed to look foolish.
At TNA's Total Nonstop Deletion event last December, Spud cheerfully stared at the lights for the 'King Maxel' in just 17 seconds. The match, dubbed a No DQ effort, actually opened the show. If ever an example was needed of Spud's dedication to entertainment, this was it. He even joked post-match that Maxel had been allowed to stay up past his bedtime to train.
Spud's attitude is one of putting on a show, even if that means he looks stupid. That outlook is to be admired, because it shows the man doesn't take himself too seriously and knows his role. Such willingness to entertain will go down well in WWE.
