Do you think some sort of "standings" system would benefit or hurt WWE?

I've thought of this before, one of the by products that I would hope would come out of it would be announcers actually acting like wrestling is a sport and recognizing wins and losses and how hot and cold each wrestler is at the time. If for nothing than to be more sincere.

But, to be beneficial it would probably have to be more realistic and reasonable than the WWE is usually accustomed to. When you're actually looking at rankings Umaga-esque squashings of nameless jobbers is even more blatant than usual. And as Mercury Bullet was implying, each match would actually mean something, so all the strange circumstances like wrestlers losing then immediately getting title shots would be much more open.

But, hopefully, it would help WWE bookers get their shit together as a reaction.
