10 Greatest Squash Matches In Wrestling History

9. Aja Kong Vs. Chaparita Asari - WWF RAW (November 21 1995)

In rare and quite glorious patches, women's wrestling was a thing in the WWF years before Stephanie McMahon decided to invent it.

It was a good, grotesque thing, and in one wild match - how did this happen in the WWF?! - Aja Kong battered the piss out of Chaparita Asari.

It wasn't quite a prolonged one-sided showcase assault. Asari created an opening with offence so futuristic it would light up the same show 25 years later, but Kong "nope'd" the follow up by simply standing still, knocking the wind and the will out of her opponent. What followed next was a showcase reel of the coolest and most concussive impact moves, moves never seen in the Fed, after which Kong sat up her corpse of an opponent, who wasn't quite dead enough for her liking.

There's a delayed quality to that immortal spinning back fist that, if anything, put Kong over all the more. Poor Asari didn't even motion to duck. The thought never crossed her mind, possibly because she was standing unconscious.

She yielded to it because a broken face, in that moment - if she was even present in it - felt like the best and quickest escape route out of that ring.
