OK, I understand the question more now.
It's not win/loss records or winning belts that really matter in let's say WWF/WWE.
It's all about perception. It's all about whether win or lose, are those guys made to look weak or strong after the match?
If a guy like Benoit wins 5 matches, but the anouncers don't play it up as a big deal, who's gonna care?
If Benoit loses 6 matches in a row and the announcers are all over it and play it up, people are going to see Benoit as some loser. Kind of like the thing Christian did a while back when he kept losing. What was the point of that?
Now take Rock losing to Hurricane. Did it hurt the Rock? No. Did it make Hurricane a main eventer? No. Did Rock's loss make people think he wasn't fit to carry the Title? No
Why? Cause it was made to be a fluke win. A win that was just a joke. It's happened before and it will happen again. Rock was so over anyway, to the point that he could of lost 100 matches in a row and he would still be as over. Cause he was the Rock. Few wrestlers have that security around them.
Perception is the biggest thing in wrestling
