Speaking of effective jobber squashes:
During the weekend I was doing spring cleaning and I put the first two Manias on as background. I do think there's something poetic and cool about King Kong Bundy getting the most dominant squash at the first WM and being Hogan's challenger at the second Mania.
Also, Jake's squash match against basically a jobber at WM 2 was hugely effective. George Wells taking the snake around the neck and then frothing at the mouth was gross and highly effective in establishing Jake as a big deal right away, as he had just started with the company.
While there were numerous quick squashes at future Manias, those first two were the only ones that ever featured what basically amounted to true jobber squashes.
