The devil was the judge of the contest, cheated, and still lost. Says a lot about Johnny's ability.

I always thought that Johnny won the contest, but Johnny's pride will eventually land himself in hell anyway, pride being one of the seven deadly. Devil doesn't care that he lost and doesn't flip out for that reason.

I always thought this but with the added twist that the Devil didn't actually lose. He chose to "lose" because he didn't want Johnny humbled. He wanted Johnny and all that pride to go across earth challenging anyone to believe they could be so good as to beat the Devil, inspiring more pride.

There's a sequel exactly about this.

Guess who wins? :-D

It isn't pride to say you're the best if you are. It's a statement of fact.
