Is 1 Minute and 32 seconds an adequate length for a squash match?

It's on the short end, but yeah.
A squash that's just lock up, strike, hit finish, count three is a waste of TV time.
You shouldn't make a squash seem competitive. Give job guys a hope spot or two if they look good enough to justify it. Actually let them do a couple things but then the rest of the match is putting a shine on the star they're pushing.
Also, an undercard guy wrestling a main eventer for the very first time should logically be squashed. Shit like how in kayfabe, he'll have never taken the finish before so it should be 100% effective.

this guy in particular got a little shit in but not much. you could argue he deserved a little more because he's fucking gigantic, but on the other hand he might also have been absolutely exposed if he turned out to be a shitter.

I don't get the point of this. Should the indy guy who is unsigned get more time or something?

Why is the unsigned indie guy on tv when the roster is already 200 men deep?

the point of a squash is to let a guy show off his signature moves, get his finish over, and look like a badass on his way to the competitive match they're building him for
you niggers complain when a star has a competitive match with a midcarder, and then you complain when a nobody gets beaten in 2 minutes. pick one.

he's much cheaper to use and they don't have to beat one of their guys to showcase the guy they're pushing

I watched a Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler match the other day that was basically a squash. Terry just beat the shit out of Lawler for 5 minutes. It was great.
