I'd say pretty much so, or at least "depushed" is how it's going to be perceived by the IWC. I mean, somebody has to lose & at some point they're going to lose more than one in a row. That's a form of depushing.

"To be the man ..." applies here I think, and if you're one of those guys at the top rung, losing a couple of high profile matches to someone who isn't basically turns him into that guy while you're diminished. There are a few people who reach a point where they aren't damaged by loses (HBK can lose more than most ppl IMO, so could Taker, just for a couple of examples).
