Its a great idea, but the writers are too lazy to keep track of stuff like that.
Goes to show what's really killing the WWE is a lack of effort from the right people.
I think that would appeal to people on sites like this one, but thats about it.
If you look at the history of pro wrestling in North America, its usually the guys with charisma and gimmicks that appeal to the masses are the guys that get over. I cant see the average person, who doesn't follow wrestling every day, would care whether Jericho has had 1 IC title reign, 7 reigns or 456 reigns.
But for the people on this board, stuff like rankings would be very appealing, just dont think ti would bring in any extra fans.
It just seems to me that the matches might have more heat if they did stuff like this. It might make the matches seem more important and worth tuning in to.
It could work out okay. We could have Jericho trying to break Orton's recent reign as champ, but before he gets to it, Orton makes him lose the match, because he wants his name in the record books. Have announcers play up that a guy is on a winning streak, like Mark Jindrak has won several main events on Velocity in a row, maybe it's time he gets out of the farm league, and moves up to the main roster.
