10 Most SENSELESS WWE Squashes

[@kayskreed]

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

[@getpumped87]

Absolutely. I ALMOST watched that episode (I don't have cable, only free TV, would have been the first wrestling I could have watched on TV in forever and last time I've watched WWE since about 2012) but after that squash match, I haven't even cared to read match results outside of WTF Moments.

[@heelgill]

@@brothernero2310 To be honest, I only said that for the heck of it but I still feel like the match could’ve been longer..at least 2-3 mins because Brock kicks arse the ring and Kofi isn’t near that level.

[@DevareayWilliams]

@Anurag Lamba What? I feel like if you’re the company’s main champion, you should atleast be allowed to put up a fight. If Daniel Bryan, Aj Styles, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor were allowed to actually put up a fight and have a decent showing against Brock, why not let Kofi do the same thing? We knew he was going to lose, but to squash him like that just made him look bad.

[@gunpowderhoes3492]

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

[@brauliotrejo3585]

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

[@kfire2567]

Agreed

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

They could have had Kofi come out and say something like he wasn't prepared and ask for a rematch. Give him the rematch and let him get some offense in but still lose. That way we could rationalize it as the better wrestler winning, get a little closure on the story and have Kofi not look like such such chump. Instead, as is all too common with the WWE, they're more interested in creating "moments" than telling good stories. Moments get people's attention but good stories keep them interested and coming back for more.

[@aprentissdaye]

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.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

Except Brock has beaten most of those guys long before Kofi did, so does it make them look weak, or just Brock beating someone who just beat guys that have already felt his fury?

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.

Why did they make the match between Owens and Goldberg in the first place? Because Brock played politics and refused to do the rematch with Goldberg at WrestleMania unless he won a top title from it. I still blame WWE, though, because I think he was bluffing and Vince, for all his "I'm in charge here" machismo, lacked the balls to call his bluff. Also honourable mention: Brock vs Dean Ambrose at WM32. When Brock doesn't give a shit, he's the most toxic and destructive (and not in a good way) force in the wrestling world, because he ruins every other star he works with (read: squashes) and never makes anyone look good, and Vince drools over him too much to say "no" to him. He's good when he DOES give a shit, but that's so rare that he's just not worth the damage he does the rest of the time.

[@SomeOfTheJuice]

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.

[@nicholaschristie8699]

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).

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.

It built up with Ivory getting heat mocking chyna for her injury and as an audience we all wanted Chyna to get healthy and get a hold of Ivory. We got that at Wrestlemania and it was satisfying to watch. Just because her contract expired it doesn’t take away from the story.

[@jvstice56]

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.
