5 Things WWE Fans Are Missing About Ryback's Post
5. Wins & Losses Matter!
"Losers turn into what fans like to call jobbers and their value decreases in the companies eyes and before you know it they get released...For doing exactly as they are told!"
If there's one saying I'm sick of hearing it's that in wrestling "wins and losses don't matter".
Of course you don't NEED to win to get over, but book a guy to win for 30 days and book another guy to lose for 30 days and after the month is over, tell me the winner isn't more over than the loser.
Ryback's making a similar point. The superstars who are over win more than they lose. It's no coincidence that Roman Reigns and Finn Balor are the top guys in the company right now and they've only lost a handful of times since their respective debuts.
WWE knows winning matters more than they let on, they just don't want their talent to realize it. Well, Ryback's realized it and he's essentially right. Losing too often and winning too infrequently could be terminal for a wrestler's career. If he does what he's told and does it well, yet has no say in the outcome of the match, the wrestler shouldn't be punished by seeing his value decrease.
Unfortunately, Ryan's underlying point about constant losses devaluing talents is 100% true.
