    The conversation literally starting in the last 5 minutes of the show. That said, it was pretty decent. Evolution was clearly the highlight. Dave cut a damn good babyface promo that may or may not lead to a match with Triple H. Possibly involving Orton who also shaded Batista/Evolution in a...

    At the end of the day this is the last of what I'll say because we both agree it's a dumb argument to die on, we just disagree on how I argued it I guess. NXT was allowed to take talents that weren't even signed to WWE and make a truly world-spanning tournament with their Mae Young Classic and...

    The whole point of wrestling is kayfabe. I'm gonna talk kayfabe 70% of the time during a live show. The reason the average wrestling fan complains as much as they do is they worry too much about the non-kayfabe booking. The moment all you do is think about who's writing this segment, who...

    Blazy isn't he first person to mention this. It's become a huge ass deal to people online who've been nonstop bitching about it for weeks. Kayfabe or not, non-Americans were booked in qualifying matches. Who cares that they weren't booked to win their matches. Would this tournament really be...

    If it makes sense in kayfabe then that should be the end of it. The point of wrestling even in 2018 is present itself at face value. That's it. The whole point. Take kayfabe out or not, Saudi will call it whatever it wants. It's Saudi's Cup. At least they didn't call it The Greatest Cup of All...

    Also, post or don't post, but don't act like you don't post in the live threads because of complaints. Every wrestling fan complains about something. Every last one of them. And this whole thing was because I said let's not complain about something as trivial as the word World when describing a...

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

    If the tournament was real WWE can't force the guy from Japan to qualify over an American. Since it isn't, Saudi clearly didn't want Nakamura there. If you look at it, they're mostly guys from the past: Kurt Annlge, Randy Orton, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, Miz, etc. The only recent...

    Saudi Arabia murdering journalists and B would rather get mad that Saudi calls their cup a world cup. Get real for a minute.

    You didn't win because you're trying to change the conversation. I don't care if anyone else has previously booked a world cup with Americans in it or not. I never cared about that. If they simply called this a King of the Ring, it's the same stupid ass tournament. You're way too hung up on a...

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

    There's a country murdering journalists and then there's calling something a world cup. It's called priories, B. Then look at the definition I provided. You don't need someone from every country to call something a world whatever. Hence World Series.

    Because I'm done with this useless conversation here's the definition of the word world: Note the underlined definition. It doesn't have to include the world, to be considered the best in the world. world wərld/ noun noun: world; noun: the world 1. the earth, together with all of its...

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

    I give zero shits about names. You're the only one that cares about it being called a World Cup. This event will literally be forgotten in 4 months. Are you from Atlanta why do you give any shits about whether or not Brazil has someone in the Saudi World Cup? :beckylol Even if half the...

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

    That's entirely the problem. You're too entirely focused on the name. Those two tournaments ARE World Cups, but you don't care because they didn't call them world cups. In your head pretend they called it the Mae Young Classic World Cup and pretend this tournament in Saudi is called The Greatest...

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

    Whether or not, you called it dumb it exists. Canada or not, that's still North AMERICA. It can't be the American Cup if it doesn't take place in America. Just facts. It can be called the Saudi Cup. But again, a name is a name is a name. Who cares. You should take this time and tweet at MLB...

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

    Then you compared it to the Football World Cup and talked about Mexico vs whomever you said. You don't even have to go to TNA. I already said like a bazillion times the Cruiserweight Classic and Mae Young already did exactly what you wanted here. World Cup or Saudi Cup, it's just a name. It's...

    Not even remotely wrong. Nakamura was booked in it, but you don't like it because he didn't win. It's the same here. The amount of times the World Titles leave America is rare and far between and the amount of non-Americans to win the belts is even lower. Go through the WWE Championship history...

    He's not. It's not American Cup if it's an event held in a different country that's paying them to be there.

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

    Because you're being worked up by a fake wrestling company calling it's cup a world cup. It's dumb. You should probably just move on. You're comparing a fake tournament to a real one. YOU started that dumb comparison. So if you're gonna make it, I have to response using the same one. The real...

    Damn Saudi only wanting American foreigners in their world cup.
