The runt of the family, little Spike Dudley was no-one's first pick when it came to predicting future WWE Champions.

But when Dudley stayed loyal to the WWF after his brothers joined the Alliance, Spike won the hearts of the fans, who appreciated his tenacity.

After also winning the heart of Molly Holly, Spike stood up for her after Stone Cold called her a bimbo to her face.

Meeting the Rattlesnake for the WWF Championship on the June 14, 2001, edition of SmackDown, Spike wasn't the toughest opponent for Austin but did have some tricks up his sleeve.

Whilst this match wouldn't turn out how Spike hoped, he would capture the WWF Tag Team Championships with Tazz from his brothers in early 2002, and would later win the Cruiserweight Championship in 2004.
