When he's not losing to toddlers or putting on comedic matches with guys like Swoggle, Rockstar Spud is capable of delivering inside the ring. He's responsible (alongside Ethan Carter III) for one of the best matches in TNA history. Forget the fact it took place in England, because palming off the bout's success as Spud excelling in his homeland is grossly unfair.

A 'Hair vs. Hair' battle between Spud and EC3 was the end result of 18 months worth of storyline development between both men. The feud must be considered one of TNA's most underrated, and the same could be said for the match. Seriously, go out of your way to see it. Even if you watch nothing else from the 13 March 2015 episode of Impact, watch this.

Spud's babyface underdog capabilities came to the fore, as did Carter's vicious heel tendencies. The whole match is a masterclass in how to create drama, and it's right up there with anything achieved by names like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Kurt Angle in Impact Wrestling.
