SmackDown Live SmackDown 1000 discussion thread, Oct. 16, 2018: Rey Mysterio returns on a milestone evening

Its' not the commissioning agency's job to make sure someone from every nation wins their qualifying matches.

They got their opportunity and failed.

They should have booked more people to win who wasn’t American. This ain’t no damn World Cup. It’s an American Cup.

Like I said it's not their job to make sure someone from every country wins their qualifiers. If this wasn't pro wrestling, they'd have to win it on their own. So WWE doesn't have to "book" the foreigners wins to make it legit.

If you just want a stupid tournament where there's someone from everywhere just watch the Cruiserweight Classic or the Mae Young Classic. WWE has already been there and done that.

If it wasn’t pro wrestling they would’ve done matches or “fights “ that would have others from other countries in it. You complain about pointless stuff a lot like Paige and her GMing or Big Show yet something that’s actually dumb you don’t? Cause hey let me use your logic. Even a nice person would treat someone who’s an ass like Paige treats Miz and other heels.

They did. They simply lost their matches. How are you not getting that? Nakamura was literally just there and got beat by a former Luchador!

 

[Tremendez]

Just because the guy from Japan can't win his World Cup match doesn't mean WWE never booked a guy from Japan in it. Use your heads, people.

 

[Tremendez]

Also, Big Show continuing to suck is a much bigger reason to complain than how many countries are in a useless tournament only being booked so Crown Jewel as a trophy to hand out. It's a useless tournament that WWE said they'd cancel if WWE cancels Crown Jewel.

Lol nope wrong not what I said.

I’m saying they would make matches that had NO American in it even for a match to get in. How hard is that to understand?? Like maybe have someone from the UK vs someone from Mexico? Maybe someone from Japan. S someone from Canada... etc etc.. real world Cups don’t have everyone from one nation and never ever could either.

WWE has like 80% Americans in it. It's not gonna be booked like that. There are gonna be more Americans in it. Just the facts.

Like I said if all you want is tournament where they have someone from every country just watch the Crusierweight Classic or the Mae Young Classic. WWE doesn't need to book every stupid tournament like that. It would get old fast.

Americans also don't give two shits about representation. MLB calls its main series the World Series and gives zero shit that no Europeans or Asians are in it.

I always thought it was dumb they called that The World Series tho lol. I’m just saying don’t call something a World Cup if you know you’re not booking anyone but Americans in it. Simple as that.

And I round back to they did. Nakamura was in it, he just didn't win to advance.

Just who cares? It's a name. Call it King of the Ring in your head if it bothers you so much.

 

[Tremendez]

As a matter of fact, call it The Greatest King of the Ring. I'm surprised that isn't what they called it.

Lol no, I mean actually book one to win. But I guess we gotta make America look strong can’t have no damn foreigners win anything am I right?

But like I said it's not the commissioning agency's job to make sure they win their matches. As long as WWE booked them in the qualifying match, that's all they need to do.

Also, I'm like 99% sure it was the Saudis who picked the winners. This isn't WWE's World Cup. I already said WWE gives zero shits about it. In an earlier press release they said if they canceled the event everything BUT the World Cup would move to Survivor Series. Saudi wanted the tournament and I bet you dollars to donuts they picked who would be in it.

It's just a useless thing to care about either way. Just pretend they called it the King of the Ring like I said. It's the same tournament regardless of what they called it. WWE has three real "world" cups on the WWE Network if you need your fix of real world representation in tournaments after WWE is done with Crown Jewel.

Considering where they're holding this event.....America is the foreigners.
