18. Nasty Boys vs. Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne (Spring Stampede '94)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3RgOfxgihM In the annals of "tag teams haphazardly thrown together by creative teams," the combo of Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne has to rank fairly high on the list. As well, in the history of "non-ECW 'hardcore' matches from the ECW that ECW ran (that didn't happen in ECW)" this one is at least in the top three. If the Nasty Boys always wrestled this "nasty," they'd have been first ballot WWE Hall of Famers. Similarly, Cactus Jack is in a special place in regards to just how much of his body he's putting on the line in this one. And Maxx Payne? Man. This could easily be the finest moment of his career.
