BOOM.

This article had one rule going in: WWE matches. That's why you didn't see Drake Maverick's name on the list - he never actually managed to have one killer bout for the company that'd characterise his run. Things were different when he was working as Rockstar Spud in TNA before reaching his promised land.

On the 13 March 2015 episode of Impact Wrestling, Spud and EC3 hauled everyone through the emotional wringer with one hell of a 'Hair vs. Hair' match. This was a career-defining moment for both. They gave everything they had in front of an enthralled Wembley Arena in London, England, and it'd be a shame not to give it some love here.

The sight of a blood-soaked Spud rising up against the despotic arrogance of made-man Carter was stirring. You owe it to yourself to find footage of this match (there are clips on YouTube). If you do, make sure to check out the build towards this showdown first.
