After a debut? Give it a few weeks.

Long term push in the works? 6 months to a year, can go over a year if they're meant to be a mainstay.

None of this is set in stone.

Maybe like 2 to 3 months tops. Unless they got the physique of a God that Kratos murdered, the second coming of Goldberg, or can wrestle a 1,001 moves a second, the whole undefeated streak angle been dead since Ryberg days.

If you're not going to Goldberg them, the storyline you put then in matters more. A face can lose anytime to a heel via cheating because you should build thm up to get that big win back and a new heel can go unbeaten until a face you're building up is ready. But we know how things with "plans change"

I don't think it matters as much as long as they aren't defeated regularly. Like someone like Gunther shouldn't suffer multiple losses week in and week out if they want to milk him as this almost unbeatable fighting machine. But at the same time you can't overdo it and make him losing at Wrestlemania once a year a regular thing either.

Just depends on the wrestler and what position they are put in

Wins and losses don’t matter like that.

This is the biggest lie in wrestling that people try to get off.

I mean....I dunno many wrestlers that's swinging air to be happy with taking Ls, especially depending on the booker could lead to the stock plummeting.

Not every wrestler lucky to be Terry Funk or :bryan: where they can take the L, but goddammit they still won in the end.

Yeah, It's certain wrestlers who can drop an L to any random person and it not effect them because of how over/charismatic/great on the mic they are like BD, The Rock, Jeff Hardy, Punk but make no mistake about it them MFs still won more than they loss.


If wins and losses didn't matter that much then MFs wouldn't go out of their way to be so political, backstab each other, etc.

Show me 5 wrestlers that are over who loses more than they win.
That’s entirely different than me saying it’s how characters win/lose

If you’re booked like Austin theory or dolph Ziggler than yea fans will stop caring

But gable loses all the time and is still over. Penta has a few Ls under his belt and he’s still over.

“Wins and losses don’t matter” is entirely different than “it’s how they lose”


And if chad gable is “over” then i’m sure you’d say Otis is over too.
