Team history

Mack and James Jefferson began wrestling in 1984 under the ring names Mack Jeffers and Jim Jeffers working as a regular team from more or less the beginning, billed as "the Jeffers". In 1986 the team decided to change their image, adopting the monikers Spike and Basher, the Mod Squad, a pair of motorcycle police officers, completed with uniforms and motorcycle helmets that the team used to help them win matches, pushing the perception that they were bad guys. The MOD Squad had their first taste of success in the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) where they were managed by J.D. Costello. On March 24, 1986, the team defeated The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers) to win the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship. The following week they lost the NWA Florida Tag Team Championship to The Fabulous Ones (Stan Lane and Steve Keirn) on a show in Florida. The brothers competed on two of the National Wrestling Alliance The Great American Bash shows in the summer of 1987, first on July 4, 1987, in Atlanta, Georgia Spike and Basher competed in singles matches losing to LazorTron and Jimmy Valiant on undercard matches. 2 weeks later at the July 18 Great American Bash show they were unsuccessful in their challenge for the NWA World Tag Team Championship as they lost to the Rock and Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson. Their last high-profile match took place on February 6, 1990, as part of World Championship Wrestling's Clash of the Champions X: Texas Shootout show where they lost to the team of "Flyin' Brian" Pillman and "Z-Man" Tom Zenk in the second match of the night. Both members of the MOD Squad retired from active competition in 1991.

James "Spike" Jefferson died on February 8, 2013, in Belton, South Carolina, at the age of 52.
