Means nothing

not really... yeah, you know who I am.....

It's not the end of the world if I lose but I still like winning. Losing a lot can be demotivating though, for sure, just because it makes you doubt yourself. So it's not overly important for me but I'd rather not be losing.

Means a fuckton to my character, but the first person Ive always had my character blame for his losses are himself

Starshine understands that winning is not the only way to impress, but she may show some signs of frustration after losing.

Personally, I'm okay with whatever as long as it makes for a good story. I mean, yeah, it's cool to have your character be the champion, but I'd rather have Kevin lose in an amazing match/feud than be the champion in a crappy one.

Kevin's goal is to win, obviously, and he pours his heart and soul into every match because of it. When he loses, it sucks, but he tries to turn that loss into motivation and use it to push forward.

For me personally I live by the mantra you win some you lose some. But for my character it means the FUCKIN WORLD to him. He's allergic to losing.

Winning isn't important to me, but it's important to The Pizza Boy. I don't think he expects to go far, but he tries to dream big anyway. I think his ultimate goal right now is to improve in-ring and be respected.

Very much agree with this.

Every character's goal is to win, but it's more important to me that the result makes sense for the story and drives a good storyline forward

What he said

Losing most of my matches has made me frustrated at my losses

I like winning, especially if it involves something that can effect my overall legacy, yeah I'm somewhat competitive. At the same time, I deal with defeat well and understand the losing part of this game, and there's been multiple times I made the decision to lose because I felt someone was a talented and/or hard working individual and should have a big victory.

I feel like winning is paramount to both my character and I. The circumstances of how you win are generally irrelevant to the end result because the winner basically decides history. That said, I'm not above taking the occasional loss to elevate someone, but I never feel obligated to lose and I very rarely want to.

I don't think it too much matters to my character, unless there's something worth obtaining on the line.

Very, very, very...VERY much!

Winning is everything to Damon.

I'm a very competitive person so I would hope to win as often as possible. As for Mark Michaels, his ego won't allow him to accept defeat. He'll do whatever he can to get his hand raised, even if that means going out side the playbook (like top rope moves) or out right cheating, and even when he does lose he tends to deny that he did and make (up) some excuse.

Eh, winning is important but entertaining and having fun are more important.
