10 Infamous Pro Wrestling Squash Matches
Not every squash match is forgettable
4. The Skyscrapers vs. Avalanche & Mike Blackwell
If you were a jobber back in the day, you turned up, you got beaten by the real stars and then you went on to the next one, if you were lucky enough to be invited back. No questions asked, no ambiguities.
Sounds simple enough, but the quality of the job guys fluctuated massively, from the very good to the downright incompetent.
Like Mike Blackwell, the man who decided to no-sell the offence of Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey. Despite being half the size of both members of The Skyscrapers, Blackwell thought it would be in his best interests to shrug off their moves and strikes and bounce back to his feet the second he hit the mat.
It was not in his best interests. Taking matters into their own hands, Sid and Spivey decided to give him a legitimate kicking after they had finally managed to get him down long enough to win the match.
Spivey, in particular, seemed to relish throwing a couple of live rounds at the uncooperative Blackwell who, it should be noted, promptly disappeared off the face of the earth. Spivey later said things “got worse” for Blackwell when he got backstage.
