YMMV / Drake Maverick

• Ensemble Dark Horse: He mainly existed to serve as a meat shield for EC3 and whoever else TNA wanted to milk an impending encounter with. What worked was people finding him funny. When EC3 eventually became more of a serious wrestler and Spud got tired of his abuse, the two were well-received, to the point Spud spent an enjoyable tenure as an underdog face and later EC3 was able to turn into the company's top face through a Face/Heel Double-Turn with Matt Hardy over the TNA world title.
