10 Biggest High Profile WWE Squash Matches Ever

This match really, really grinds my fears in all honesty. At WrestleMania X-Seven Chyna challenged Ivory for the WWE Women's Championship, and defeats her in just over two minutes. It often goes overlooked in the face of the rest of the show and what happened with Chyna in the years afterwards, but this is simply one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional performances in WrestleMania history.

Ivory had a reputation as being one of the toughest women's wrestlers in the game, a seasoned veteran who had come up through the Sensational Sherri/Luna Vachon era and had taken her fair share of beatings along the way. Whilst Chyna defeating her in quick fashion wasn't a terrible idea, Chyna's performance really wrangles.

Chyna smiles her way through the entire math, in the way that Eva Marie does today. No real expressions at any time, just smiles and a barrage of half-baked offence. It devalued the title and pretty much put an end to women's wrestling in the company for a little while.

The cover itself is akin to someone reclining on a sofa, and a few months Chyna was gone from the company.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
