The Machine has never lifted the world title but only Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen have won more than his 11 TV majors in the Professional Darts Corporation era.

And Wade is still haunted by his collapse in the 2010 Daily Mirror Grand Slam of Darts final against Scott Waites, where he blew an 8-0 lead and lost 16-12.
