Getting back to Ryback squashing jobbers, I'm kinda happy to see this being done again. I remember back in the 90's we would see guys like Bret Hart, Undertaker, Razor Ramon squashing jobbers. Basically all the top stars, and all the guys who debuted and were slated to get pushed, would wrestle jobbers in order to show off their move set, present their characters to fans so they would begin to familiarize themselves with the person, and the wrestlers themselves would use these squash matches to get acclimated to wrestling in front of a very large audience.

I think that this "concept" can be used successfully, if done the right way, to help the young talent who hasn't been able to get past a certain level, talent that's hit a "plateau".

But of course, that would entail that WWE would have to build-up guys in a slower way, and I don't know if that's something that'd be considered in today's fast-paced WWE.
