#5 Pentagon Jr vs. Sami Callihan in a Mask vs. Hair Match (Slammiversary 2018)

While the Last Woman Standing Match was physical, it didn't have the level of violence that was showcased at Slammiversary 2018. At this pay-per-view, Sami Callihan and Pentagon Jr. settled their fierce rivalry in a unique stipulation. No titles were on the line, instead they were in a Mask vs. Hair Match.

Callihan, along with his oVe group, had tormented Pentagon Jr. in the months leading into the 2018 Slammiversary. Sami had even gone as far as to steal the sacred mask of Pentagon. He also attacked Penta's brother Rey Fenix under the guise of the luchador. Penta responded by picking off each member of oVe ahead of the show.

At Slammiversary 2018, the Mask vs. Hair Match became the bloodiest war in the event's history. Pentagon Jr. and Sami Callihan used anything they could to deliver punishment to their opponent. There were steel chairs, baseball bats and even spikes used in gruesome ways. The pain was across both men's faces just as much as the crimson masks that they wore.

Sami was his usual brutal, sadistic self and ripped at the mask of Pentagon, trying to reveal his face in the middle of this Slammiversary 2018 match. Pentagon went to extremes just as much as his enemy, though. Pentagon hit an insane Fear Factor piledriver on steel chairs that only got a nearfall.

He followed up with superkicks, broke the arm of his opponent and finished him with another Fear Factor to get the win in thrilling fashion. Things just didn't end there because of the pre-match stipulation ahead of the 2018 Slammiversary, though.

Following the match, Pentagon and Fenix fought off oVe and trapped Sami Callihan on the ramp. They then proceeded to shave his head bald in a final act of revenge. This Slammiversary 2018 match was dramatic, crazy and just a pure brawl throughout. It won IMPACT Wrestling's Match of the Year for 2018 and rightfully so.
