Working hand-in-hand with rankings, an on-screen graphic showing wrestler's win/loss records would emphasize the need for winning, which makes what they do seem more legitimate.

Putting on a "clinic", "tearing the house down" and having "5 star classics" shouldn't be the goal (in kayfabe) - winning should, and when a wrestler can't win, they should be ticked off about it, not happy because they "told a story" or got a crowd to pop. Win/loss records would put the point of wrestlers being in the ring together in perfect focus.

The desperation of a WWE star wanting to rise in the company and avoid the embarrassment of having more losses than wins could be a major character motivation that helps drive viewership and makes even mundane undercard feuds more watchable. Why should someone care about whether a wrestler is going to win some random match on RAW with no frame of reference? Pro-sports fans have such a reference, and it keeps them engaged.
