10 Examples of Pro Wrestling Jargon

#3 Squash

Brock Lesnar totally dominates John Cena at Summerslam 2014.

What it means: A squash refers to an extraordinarily one-sided match, where one of the combatants gets little to no offense.

Also known as: A jobber squash.

Likely origin of the term: Rather than fighting a capable opponent, it's like stepping on a piece of ripe fruit, i.e a squash.

Squash matches have their place in professional wrestling and have been around for a long time. Surprisingly, some very big names have participated in squash matches as the squashee. "Greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time" Honky Tonk man, for example, lost his vaunted title to Ultimate Warrior in less than a minute at the first Summer Slam.

Other famous squashes include John Cena being destroyed by Brock Lesnar (also at Summerslam, albeit in 2014) and Bill Golberg's win streak, where he often decimated opponents with only a few moves.

A typical Squash match can exist on both sides of the coin. The main events of some of WWE's most esteemed pay per views have all played witness to squash matches.
