Anyone else remember the days when a debuting guy was allowed to win his first match?

When they squashed jobbers? Yes, but in the long run does that make a huge difference? I'm not being a douche, I'm really asking.

On a side note, Braden Walker won his debut match, along with his second match and look at the star he is now. I don't think Ziggler could ever be as great as Braden Walker.

Braden would knock Dolph's brains out with his hands on his hips.

That's a good question:

If you win your debut, it's against a jobber, which illustrates that you're good enough to beat a guy that everyone can beat. If you lose your debut, it's against a top tier monster, which illustrates that you weren't good enough to start where you started, and maybe you should start out against some jobbers. Either way, debuts are rarely impressive when it comes to the pinfall. It's the match itself you need to watch.

I flat out do not understand the line of thought of hyping guys up over weeks or months, and then having them lose in their debut. What's the point?

I wish I could answer that, but I really don't know either. Fans immediately lose interest in someone who can't live up to their hype, and said wrestler is relegated to jobber duty, or wished well in his future endeavors.

Maybe it's just me but maybe they should team him together with Mr. Kennedy. They are both solid wrestlers who's gimmicks could kinda work together, it would work better though if Kennedy still wore the suit and would pop out randomly backstage and scream his name.
