In the WWE " record books", do no-contests count as draws or nothing at all? Like say one guy is 5-2 against another guy. They wrestle to a no contest. Is he now 5-2-1 or still 5-2 and the match gets thrown out?
Same with Double DQ/ Double Countout matches. Do they both get a loss, a draw, or nothing at all?

as far as i know, they only count wins/losses, but they change their rules every couple of weeks anyway. the only time a "no contest" really gets mentioned is when they are actually discussing/talking about/commenting on a match.
Eg
Benoit and Kane came to a no contest
But their record against each other would still be 2-4.
NOTE: I made up the record and the names were random...

Does WWE even acknowledge win/loss records? I think unless they're emphasized through a storyline such as a winning streak or a best of 7 series, they don't even matter in WWE land.

Well, if you think about it,
"No Contest" would mean just that. In other words, the contest (match) never took place, so I would imagine they wouldn't count it.

It means that for whatever reason the contest -- in this case a wrestling match -- was unable to be finished. But to answer the op's question, it's professional wrestling, virtually no one looks at the records other than title histories. |

I remember when stuff like that actually used to matter back when the ring announcer would have to make the official announcement of who won the match. Now, no one even cares or pays attention to DQ finishes or countouts, and I think it's largely due to how the WWE has ruined title matches with them. It's one thing to have a DQ finish when the title is on the line on RAW, ECW, SmackDown! or a house show...but I cannot possibly describe how pissed off I get when a World or WWE title match ends in a DQ at a PPV. It's just cheap, lazy booking and a slap in the face to everyone who paid to see the show live or on TV.
