The squash match can be just as important in getting a new talent over on their first or early appearances as anything else. So what for you have been the most effective squashes?
I would say the three matches The Kid lost before beating Razor Roman on Raw in 93, as they convinced the fans that he was a jobber, making the later upset stand out more.
Vader VS. The Z-Man Great American Bash 90
The Halloween Phatom (Rick Rude) VS. The Z-Man Halloween Havoc 91
Yokozuna VS. Virgil Survivor Series 1992
Taz VS. Kurt Angle Royal Rumble 2000 (proving that the guy doing the job doesn't have to be a nobody)
The Ultimate Warrior VS. The Honkey Tonk Man Summerslam 1988
The Steiner Brothers VS. The Beverly Brothers Royal Rumble 1993
