Squaring Up: The Art of Squash Matches in WWE 2k18

In the world of professional wrestling, there's no more satisfying feeling than laying a beating on an opponent who doesn't stand a chance. These one-sided affairs are known as squash matches – and they're just as much fun to experience in video game form as they are in real life.

When playing through WWE 2k18's career mode or simply looking for some casual action, the temptation can be strong to jump into an exhibition match pitting your favorite superstar against a weakling from the roster. But before you do, take a moment to consider why these types of matches were so popular in the first place.

In professional wrestling, squash matches serve multiple purposes beyond just entertaining the audience with easy wins for established stars. They provide opportunities for newer talent to get valuable experience working in front of crowds without risking serious injury or embarrassing themselves on live television. Additionally, they can help build anticipation and excitement around upcoming feuds by making an opponent look incredibly weak before facing off against them later down the line.

In WWE 2k18 specifically, these types of matches offer players a chance to practice their micro-managing skills – such as when to perform moves like suplexes or clotheslines at exactly the right moment. You'll also have full control over your character's meter which allows you to decide how long each move will last before eventually running out completely unless replenished by button mashing away on controller buttons.

So next time you're looking for something different than just another grueling hardcore match against someone who can actually put up a fight, consider giving one of these old-school style brawlers a tryout. Who knows? You might find yourself becoming hooked on the simple joy that comes from dominating an opponent silly in WWE 2k18's version of professional wrestling – smackdown style!
