I personally preferred the older style of jobber squashes so the fans got used to seeing ALL of a company's roster stars succeed all the time, but, I'm old.

Agreed. But I guess if you're in a "ratings war", you can't kill a quarter hour for a squash match.
As for the records, Jungle Boy is getting a title match in 2 weeks and is 0-8.
I think keeping records is silly. Highlight winning streaks and big victories unlike WWE. I love the idea of contender rankings. But you book yourself in a corner showing records and make top talent look weak.
