Sometime I wish they did make it more like a real sport
Maybe it is because I'm a nerd accountant, but I wish they would make wrestling more like a real sport and keep win loss record and have a wrestler stats more than just when they find it convient for story lines or whatever. We all know 'Taker and Edge are undefeated at Wrestlemainia, but what about the rest of their careers? Samoa Joe and Goldberg had long winning/undefeated streaks, but after one loss they stopped keeping count. Also, they only do like "tales of the tape" or whatever for some bullshit match like McMahon v. Trump, but not for Umaga v. Lashley (who are acctaully competing in the match).
Idk, I guess it just annoys me that they only do that crap for certain storylines. It isn't like it is hard to count that kind of crap. |

PS, I don't care if they did it at house shows, because house don't count unless otherwise noted.

I suppose it would be kind of hard to implment this now...but they could start after like wrestlemania and eventually it would kinda even out.

Yeah. I dont' know about a win/loss record, but more like an actually defined condership. Like a top 10 condenders and whatnot.

Rankings would be a definate plus. I've argued this point with my friends for quite some time. Having rankings and records would make every match better and the show better overall simply because it would make almost any match worth something. Opening up Raw with Rob Conway vs. Val Venis is piss-break time but it might actually matter if they we're trying to move through the ranks of the Intercontinental Title division. Even if it was for 11th or 12th place sort of thing. A win is a win and it moves you closer to the gold.

Yeah, this sort of thing ws suggested, and got called gay when they were.
The idea of a top contendership is fine, but win loss records get gayed up really fast in WWE. |

Old WCW used to have rankings every week. They would always display the top 10 and the number 1 contender would always be the U.S. Champ. If they did that in WWE I think it would really help bring back the prestige to the IC Title and help the mid carders out alot,

I agree BDC, and thats a big reason why I watch a lot more Japan stuff than WWE and TNA. They have rsults on the sports page of their newspapers and everything.

Who had that sig where it says, "In Mexico wrestling is a religion, In Canada it's a tradition, in Japan it's a sport and in America it's a joke"?

I think a tale of the tape before every match would add to it a bit, its fun to read about thier height, weight etc before the match. It makes it seem like a boxing match where you compare height, weight, and arm reach etc advantages and such.

I agree with the above two posts. Anything with serious implications should be treated a little more seriously.

Yeah, a Tale of the Tape for main event matches would be sweet. If there's some kind of story, or a Title on the line. Basically whenever it feels right.
I'd also love for rankings to be established, and maybe some experts (probably legends and the colour commentator) throwing in their prediction as to who is going to win. A lot of this could be done on WWE.com, I guess. |

It would appear quite easy to implement.
You pick a championship on one of the brands - probably midcard as they need the potential generated interest more. You work it so you have a heel champ going around not wanting to defend against 'unworthy' opponents and doesn't defend for a month or two which gathers heat from the rest of the lockeroom. Either a GM or a handful of wrestlers against the champ demand the champion starts to defend the championship and either they or the champ proposes the ranking system. It would work well following a big win for a heel champ at a PPV. Pros - Ranking system makes people care more about some of the midcarders Cons - Not much of a random element to matches and obviously extremely easy to deviate from with WWE's history with such things |
