10 Most Shocking Wrestling Squash Matches
1. Kevin Nash Vs Hulk Hogan - WCW Nitro 1999
The Finger-poke of Doom endures as one of the worst booking decisions ever, and in no small part contributed to WCW's demise. The ultimate swerve was also by its very definition a squash match, as the contest between Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash did not last long at all.
The leaders of the nWo Hollywood and Wolfpac factions were in cahoots the whole time, reuniting the faction as one big happy family all together once again. It goes without saying that it was outrageously stupid to have a main event title match go down in such a way, and would be only one of many twists WCW would try and book to no success.
To understand the foolishness of the decision, it is perhaps best to imagine the same thing happening today with any of the World Titles across WWE or AEW. It would be comparable to Seth Rollins lying on his back for Roman Reigns because they had agreed to do so beforehand given that they both used to be in The Shield together. Even if this occurred in the main event of RAW or SmackDown, fans would be livid as WWE would not have produced something they had promoted. Of course, when have they ever done that...
Squash matches should have unwilling victims on the other side of them, not big stars who agree to it like 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash.
