10 Most SENSELESS WWE Squashes 

"The short amount of time it takes to have a really good piss" I died

The worst part about the Kofi squash is that he never asked for a rematch. It's as if his whole WWE reign was nothing more than a fever dream, or worse still, like it never happened. Even if they had no intention on having him win it back, they could have progressed his character all the same. Maybe a Kofi heel turn, anything really. But that was just embarrassing. And then you have guys like Goldberg who can just show up after a long absence and be given a title shot on a silver platter with zero build up. Smh

Nakamura low-blowing Jeff Hardy before the bell and beating him in 6 seconds should be on this list. That didn't make sense at all.

Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston was a slap in the face. The match showed how dominant Brock is but they could’ve had a longer match.

You forgot that Owens losing to Goldberg would set the stage for Jericho eventually wresting in New Japan and broadening his horizons and joining AEW.

Yeah the Kofi one still makes me mad. I haven't watched the WWE since.

The most senseless squash match I ever saw was Samoa Joe v Jeff Hardy at a house show. Joe made his entrance and was in the ring, Jeff ran in from behind, finisher, 1-2-3. The only time I've ever seen either of them wrestle in person.

I feel like Kane didn't need to sneak behind Chavo to blindside and beat him...it's not the squash I hate, it's how said squash was performed

Kofi got fucked over man they threw him back into the tag team scene which is horrendous right now and it wasn't until recently where he actually mentioned being a former WWE champion in a promo

Wow this video was so well edited, whoever edited it should be treated so well. Despite him having 2 first names as his name

That Kofi squash is the prime reason I stopped watching WWE 🤦🏾‍♂️

The Kofi squash is just the stuff of legend...legit didn't know whether to laugh or cry haha. On one hand they had a chance to make him more legit and ruined him instead, and on the other hand the salt from fans was legendary. Still not sure how I feel about it tbh. Staggering!

I'll defend Kofi's squash: It was a fun and exiting squash that made me want to tune in to Next week's smackdown. The problem is Kofi never got a rematch and happily went back to the tag division. The problem was the follow up not the squash itself. I watch the match like once a week lol

Ivory never lost a women’s championship in a decent way First she lost the title to Moolah Then she lost the tittle in a pool match And finally she lost the tittle in a squash match

Kofi getting squashed by Brock was what made me give up on WWE. It became clear to me then that it didn’t matter how loyal to the company you were, how over you were with the fans, or how badly you’d earned it from years of being a quality performer, Vince will only care about his favourites and sweep aside the rest to make them feel special.

I remember watching Smackdown for the first time in months to see Kofi vs Brock. It happened, didn't watch Smackdown till Roman turned heel. Also should've mentioned Finn Balor getting squashed by Kane the night after he beat AJ Styles in a match of the year candidate. AJ was wwe champion legit months earlier and the win was exactly what Finn needed to be back in the Main Event scene. But had to have give the legend and respected monster near his 50s Kane credibility for a world title match

How can you forget john cena vs the undertaker at wrestlemania 34. It was soo awaited. Even though everyone knew the undertaker was going to win it was still excepted to be a great match. It could have been a five minute match like lesnar vs goldberg at wrestlemania. Because John cena is truly a 16 time world champion and him losing like that left me in SHOCK. For a WHILE.

Most of the intergender one-on-one matches during the Ruthless Aggression era were senseless squashes.

The Brock Lesnar/Kofi Kingston WWE Championship match was unacceptable. Even if Kofi was booked to lose the title they should've at least had the match go 8 or 9 minutes allowing Kofi to put up a solid fight before Lesnar put him down for the 3 count. it was just in poor taste they had Kofi lose in 8 seconds given they kept the title on him for 6 months building up these stories of him defending/feuding with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Dolph Zigger, Samoa Joe & Randy Orton, and through all of that just lose to Lesnar in 8 seconds? Not only did it completely diminish Kofi's WWE Title reign, but it made all the previous competitors he defended the title against look totally weak as well. What's even worse was there was no follow either nor did Kofi ever be given the chance to express how he felt to lose a Championship he fought and clawed for 11 years to win, the biggest prize in WWE, taken from him in 8 seconds with no further story explanation.

I am still not over the way Kofi lost his title and was just removed from the World title picture.

No Goldberg squashing Fiend? That made precisely zero sense to me.

Kofi gets squashed in 9 Seconds Joke: Am I a Kofi To You

The Sheamus win was important.. it led to the Yes Movement

A personal choice of mine would have been Christian vs William Regal at SummerSlam 2009. So much potential, and then they blue-balled us.

Her attire vs Ivory was the best Chyna ever looked, in my humble opinion

Me: **waiting for the asuka streak ending against Charlotte for no reason**

Kofi vs Brock actually went the way I expected it lol

Chyna's unprofessionalism in feuding with Ivory is exactly why I question her in-ring greatness, completely uncalled for

11:35 that one still kills me _Kofi-Mania_ was awesome!!!

Such great points in this. I had forgotten about a bunch of these matches

When Brock squashed Kofi, that was the final nail in the coffin for me to NEVER watch WWE again.

Triple H and Shawn wiping out the Spirit Squad. Bradshaw and Simmons crushing Public Enemy. Taker and Kane destroying Edge and Christian while they were tag team champions.

I'm so happy that "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar & The Ultimate Warrior WWE squashes. Thanks 😊!!!

Lest you forget...Warrior squashing HHH was punishment for the Curtain Call...

Guys, I can't stop eating this trail mix.

"No one will soon forget Brock Lesnar destroying John Cena." Really? I feel like everyone forgets that match; this is the first I've heard anyone reference it in years.

imo, the Brock one makes sense. Kofi had a 6 month reign with the title(and a pretty good one too). who else would've stopped KofiMania?

The only one I disagree with on this list is Chyna Vs Ivory. After weeks of being mocked and made fun of for her injury then it made sense for her to return and completely destroy Ivory showing that she was the most dominant woman and the eighth wonder of the world. The aftermath of that match though however didn’t help either woman, which I totally agree with.

Ricochet has zero chance of even hurting Brock haha 😆🤣😂

I don't think you will ever top Kofi's Wrestlemania moment

I remember in 6th grade when my friends came over to watch Sheamus vs D-bry. The big Sheamus fan went to the restroom and missed the whole match lmfao

WM12: My favorite squash

I was there for Kofi vs. Lesnar. I’m still pissed!!

HHH was punished for his curtain call incident

Honorable mention: Orton vs Rusev at Summerslam

Just think about that : at the Royal Rumble 2012, Daniel Bryan defended the WHC against the Big Show and Mark Henry in a Steel Cage Match and won, the same guy lost in no time to Sheamus, absolutely senseless

Sheamus vs Bryan is my favourite squash, wish he would have been booked like that and WWE would send him back to indies.

Hunter wasn't that over at that time. That squash did nothing to hurt Triple H. As everyone was expecting something like that.

Just loving these top 10 videos

Tears for Internet wrestling fans 😭

Good editing Ryan

The Kofi-Brock one is the reason I stopped watching wwe. Such bullshit

WrestleMania is coming back to my home state of Texas next year

The thumbnail alone made me mad

Did you legit put the WM12 squash over Kofi being made to look like an absolute chump in his only Smackdown title defence?

A lot of these can simply be boiled down to three things: Politicking, money, and Vince being bored. Kofi being a prime example of the three. As for the infamous 18 seconds, Sheamus knew it was going to make him hated, but neither man had the clout to convince the powers at be (Vince) to lengthen the match. All in all, these squashes didn't need to happen, and some of the people who got squashed never recovered the momentum they had. Damn shame too, but this is the WWE: not a tall and muscular man, proceed to the "We Don't Care" Locker Room.

Good video

The Sheamus and Bryan Match was also changed from a lumberjack to a non title battler Royal won by The Great Khali I'm not sure was even televised

I think in his entire career whole Cogan has done the job one time clean and actually made it look good he’s done the job more than once not very many times it all some not even on record but every time he’s done the job for anyone he pretty much stands right up right after or celebrate with them like he never lets anyone have a moment if it was me if he did that shit when he stood up and knocked his ass out for real and leave on laying in the middle of the rain for real

Kofi was squashed right back to the mid card. Just terrible.

Lesnar vs Ricochet should be number 1 for most useless as there is NO reason those two couldnt take even 5-10 min to let Ricochet show off and Woo The Crowd while getting German Suplexed all the way across the ring.

Ricochet being flat out murdered by Brock. Like why even put Ricochet in that spot? We knew Ricochet wasn't gonna winn the belt but he could at least get some offense in to make it interesting.

I always feel I have a different opinion on Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Daniel was a slimy heel at the time and regardless of wrestling capability, his arrogant character getting creamed in 18 seconds was both hilarious and a surprise tone setter for Mania that night. As for Hunter, same feeling. He was the epitome of snobbery and hadn’t gotten proper comeuppance, and as a kid I thought him getting squashed in quick fashion made me laugh out loud. It entertained me at the time.

Wwf squashing wcw in 2000 is my favorite

Right. might not be a popular opinion but here goes. I didnt mind the goldberg Owens squash. On the surface it's got a lot going for it. It's a classic goldberg nostalgia trip. Owens delaying furthered his heel persona and drew good heat. And Jericho returning and costing Owens the title furthered their feud excellently and made it even more personal. The issue for me wasnt the squash match, it was how the conclusion of their feud was treated at mania.

Not sure what you'd expect Ricochet had no business being booked in a match with Brock it was never gonna be anything other than a squash how absurd would it look if Ricochet actually had a competitive match with him

Brock squashing Cena for the WWE championship has to be the worst the worst.

thanks!

Kofi match should have been number 1. No one cares about HHH. The way Kofi was built was a fighter who fought against all odds in obtaining and keeping his title. Then he was squashed like that? By a part timer? Vince really showed his true colors and this was the biggest disrespect to the WWE Universe.

The Bryan squash was crucial for Daniel’s long awaited victory at WM

Video idea Every Hardcore match ranked

Brock squashing kofi made all sense. He was a boring midcarder who was a regular flavour of the smarks just like Nakamura. Brrrrocck Lllllesnnar squashing kofi was the greatest moment in 2019

0:38 BIG HOG BIG HOG BIG HOG (IYKYK)

After the Kofi incident WWE asked the fans why won't they like the show like wtf.

Bryan losing to Sheamus may have been senseless, but ignoring what it lead to afterward isn't great. Without it, the Yes Movement likely would never have happened and Bryan would never have been given the opportunities he received. It wasn't like Kofi-Lesnar that killed all of the singles momentum Kofi had, or Ricochet not only being allowed to give Brock a match that he actually likes working, but having his momentum choked out too. It was the rare loss that made a superstar bigger than ever.

Goldberg vs fiend should be on here. Maybe the worst wwe match of the 2020's so far.

I honestly think that Brock vs. Ricochet match was because when Brock was having those other matches, us as fans didn't enjoy the matches he was having with bigger guys. So matches against guys like AJ, D Bryan, Balor, and Rey looked better and he sold more for those guys. Just my opinion

Well bro, let me tell you bro, if this is real, Kofi is never gonna beat Lesnar

I wonder if WWE have a celebrity squash player, and book him in a non-squash, more competitive match. That way, it might as well still be a squash match.

I heard and read several years ago that the Khali/Taker match at Judgement Day ended the way it did because Khali legitimately knocked Undertaker out with the big boot. I guess no truth to that?

A lot of this were on wrestlemania

adam p is a lone placard

do best 1 time wwe champions

Alternative title: Dumbest vince descisons

good video

Where does this narrative come from that the Rock is the most famous actor on the planet? If you ask 100 random europeans, I would be surprised if 10 of them would know his name.

I think I know the thought process of Kofi not being upset over it. They think that they can strike twice (lightning that is) because John Cena use to do that as well, and look where he is now. I am NOT saying that it is right, but I think Vince's thought process with that is that if you show you are being pissed about losing the title, that is showing weakness. And, as we already know, Vince HATES it when you show weakness because everyone must be strong until the end of time (sarcasm).

Would Dolph Zigglers appearance at 30 in the royal rumble count as a squash considering the length of time in the ring. I know its not a 1 on 1 match.

I think I might be the only person who liked chyna Vs ivory at wm 17

I disagree with Lesnar v Kofi. They wanted buzz, to make Lesnar look like a monster, and to be hated. So having him absolutely stop Kofi mania in its tracks set the tone and did what they wanted for the time being.

This video made me realize that wwe is gonna use the pandemic like they do when a wrestler gets injured and their gonna push back the Saudi Arabia contract for another 2 years...

That was wrong what they did to Kofi...

The erick rowan One is because rock wasn’t able to actually wrestle

I blame the Fox Network for Kofi’s reign being ended by Brock Lesnar. You KNOW how racist the Fox Network’s Executives are.

Wwe had great talent like drew McIntyre Bobby lashley kofi Kingston big e seth rollins ricochet and they are giving us Brock Lesnar vs roman Reigns......

10 wrestler should win mitb 2021

Not squashes technically, but Sting losing to HHH and Booker loosing to HHH were senseless decisions

Ricochet should have got manger for his lack of promo work this is good in the ring

Warrior/HHH being #1 is down right baffling. Trips at the time was just a Joe Schmoe. And even if he got a non squash match out of warrior, it’ll be all for naught anyway because the curtain call happens and he gets the brunt of the punishment from Vince because he was, at the time, just a guy on the roster.
