Wins and losses...

[Kane Knight]

'K. Here's the deal. A lot of people put stock in winning and losing. I don't get it. I don't care how many weeks a superstar jobs in a row, long as the maatches are good. I dig the likes of Helms and Benjamin even when they're losing, because they give it their all. Now, there's a point at which the "magic" is drained out of a match, but it's usually the point at which the wrestlers themselves have become boring.

Now, I'm no fan of people sitting on top, and in fact I think winning streaks are more boring than losing streaks. I'm not saying it doesn't completely matter. I just think too much emphasis is put upon the concept of winning. But honestly, if someone entertains me, I don't really care if he jobs out the entire lockerroom on a weekly basis.

Now, I know it's supposed to look bad from "casual" eyes, but I don't get why. The winning or losing is usually secondary to the story, the reason behind the win. An emotional win is awesome, but what about a heartbreaking loss?

The one problem I have with the WWE is that they seem to forgo drama and just go for ad hoc results. Much like a certain thread about the main event scene, I feel the shows fly on a wing and a prayer. Victories are expected, losses are pointless, and there's no real sense of drama or suspense. I'm not watching wrestling to be surprised, I'm watching it to be entertained. If I wanted something unpredictable, I'd turn channels when wrestling came on.

How much does a loss mean to you?
