The fight between Iron Man and Captain America/Bucky Barnes from Civil War is one of the most emotionally devastating in the MCU. It's a conflict everyone saw coming but tore you apart regardless, as it spelt the end for The Avengers. But, while the overall vibe was sombre, there was one moment that can only be described as gnarly.

During the showdown, Iron Man grabbed hold of Bucky and tried to carry him down to the ground. But, he committed the first sin of battle by leaving himself open for attack. Captain America saw this opportunity and stuck, launching into him with a striking spear that brought them all down to the floor.

Cap must have done his WWE homework, as while it was a pretty quick move, it channelled the best of Edge's classic spear to Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania X-Seven. Unfortunately, no Tag Team Championships were waiting for Bucky and Cap at the end of this one.
