I love when people talk about how the outcome of the matches don't matter and the titles are just props. Until WWE starts building shows based on angles and WrestleMania is being headlined by simply a heated confrontation, the match outcomes better matter and the titles better be a pretty important/prestigious prop or else why the fuck is anyone supposed to care?
It's about as ridiculous as saying "the stakes don't matter in a story." Um, okay? So why I am reading this book, or watching this movie? The belts are your easier way to introduce stakes. "I want to be the best!" "No, I am the best!" "Let's fight and see who is the best!" They're not the only stakes you can have, but they are certainly stakes. When you take the importance of them away, you might as well be saying "This doesn't matter." Every time a champion loses a non-title match, that's my emotional response. "Okay, being the champion means nothing. So why I am watching?"
