- After WWE Battleground went off the air, referees checked on Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton until they both got up. Bryan hit a flying knee on Orton to end it.
There were lots of “refund” and “bullshit” chants inside the arena and then as fans made their way out of the arena. Fans in attendance noted that it was a very gloomy exit from the arena and that nobody was buying merchandise or being excited.

Tough shit. If I buy tickets to a Saints game and it sucked, I wouldn't ask for a refund. Those WWE fans need to stop being dumbasses, obviously if they watched the build up to the show and everything, they would have got a good guess on how the Pay-Per-View were to turn out.

The fans decided to make noise AFTER the show went off the air? That was one of the worst ppv crowds i've ever seen, and i've been watching since 1997.

Can't blame 'em. From what I heard they were excited about the ME and especially the Rhodes family... also Punk until Ryback killed the crowd. Would you be any different?

It's a shame that whatever cable company it was set a precedent that you can get refunds for WWE PPV's, after Night of Champions gave refunds for a more satisfying finish than this don't they have to give some for tonight too?

Wait, what if the refunds will wind up being part of the storyline? What if that's what leads to Vince's face turn?

I'll address the part where you questioned if I'd be different. My answer is yes. I wouldn't spend my hard earned money and sit at a WWE ppv event (Something i've never been to) and bitch and moan. I'm smart enough to look at the card and come up with an idea on what I think would happen. If I was there I would have had a few beers and enjoy myself regardless. That's just me though

I thought the event was pretty good to be honest, there was some good wrestling going on. Some of the matches weren't built up properly (R. Truth) but outside of that they all were pretty good at telling the stories they set out to tell. The ending was alright, because I know what they are doing.

Anyways, I agree with you about that cable company. I can't believe they would even think about giving money back. It just opens them up for the same kind of stuff to go on further down the line. I would imagine people will ask for it, even if they enjoyed the show to see if they can.

But they were relatively loud throughout the entire night. The pops in the Shield/Rhodes family match were huge, especially for the ending.

And hey, that PPV would've killed my mood too. It'd suck paying upwards of $100 on a PPV realizing it's complete filler nonsense that means absolutely nothing.

If you didn't know that going in, you deserve to have $100 taken away from you.

But you can enjoy yourself throughout the night and still be disappointed.

I went to see Aerosmith (somehow one of my all time favorite bands) in May. I spent over two thousand dollars to go to another state and see them up close. At the concert I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was great. The quality of the concert, however, was pretty shitty. At the Concert I didn't really care because it was Aerosmith who had never been to Australia at a time when I was a live before, but afterwards I was pretty bummed out. I still loved the entire experience whilst I was there, however when looking back at it it was not worth anywhere near what I paid and I feel pretty ripped off for what little they actually did do (they played for an hour and a half whilst the opener played for two).

People should go into PPV's expecting it to turn out shit, and if they don't realize that they shouldn't be upset about it? Is that seriously what you're trying to say?

No lmfao That was a pretty clever attempt of manipulating my words. You said it was filler, no? Did you not expect that going in?

Yeah, I re-read what you quoted of me after. My bad, didn't mean to make it seem that way.

Even if it is filler, that shouldn't excuse the quality of the show. I can't speak for what you thought of it, but I found the quality match-wise to be fairly sub-par compared to the last few PPV's. And, the endings to the two main events, filler or not, were a complete slap in the face to the audience expecting to see any pay off.

Pretty hard to compare a $2,000 investment into something you have always loved (pretty sure you've told me about your love for aerosmith several times)to a $100-300 wwe ppv event. Quite a difference in price, and chanting "refund" to me just seems petty. That's just me
