Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2015 Bryan spent most of the interview talking himself down and talking Roman Reigns up.You need to turn the sound up. He spent most of the interview talking about last year, hinting that fans should boo people to get him a better spot and dropping hints about him vs. Lesnar. The one thing he did say was that he failed at the Royal Rumble and Reigns didn't. Which as Vince Russo wasn't booking this, is exactly what he should say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2015  Called Sky, got myself a refund on the Royal Rumble and 6 months free Sky Sports.  Just a heads up. I don't understand this at all. You rang up and asked for a refund because your favourite wrestler didn't win a match? That's insane! WWE gave you the matches advertised and fulfilled their end of the bargain, unless there was some small printed that stated "Daniel Cryin' is winning the Rumble, Roman Reigns is being eliminated by Hornswoggle, if we change our mind, have your money back."  I presume he means because Sky showed most of it for free 24 hours later.

neil is brill Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 You're right, that'll learn me for not reading the thread again. My apologies. Think I need some time off from this forum. I'm way too snippy lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryko Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm surprised so many people paid for the Royal Rumble through Sky. Did you not know you can get it for just £9.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I hate the world we live in some days. Its easy to see why they did it. I miss when people just accepted that shit happens and didn't chase any compo they could get. They usually she the boxing ppvs a few days later on sky sports and I don't see the same action when they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members garynysmon Posted January 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2015 You've also been able to stream shows for free (think Wrestlemania 18 was the first time I did that) but many still prefer to order it through Sky. I imagine there will always be a core that choose to do so that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss when people just accepted that shit happens and didn't chase any compo they could get. They usually she the boxing ppvs a few days later on sky sports and I don't see the same action when they do that. Â That's how I look at it too. Some people just like to moan. Â WWE needed to fill TV time without performers, and they wanted to at least try and progress stories from the Rumble, so showing the footage made sense. A big difference between this broadcast and the Rumble PPV was that everyone knew who won the matches. It was, "Lesnar won, now watch how" and "Reigns won, now watch how". A big difference to watching a PPV live and not knowing what's going to take place. Â I mean, I would have loved if they set up a ring in the WWE warehouse and did Raw that way, but that's a ridiculously high expectation of a company that booked the Rumble the way they did. They went the least creative option ever, not even in regards to the winner, everything from the eliminations of Wyatt and Ambrose to Reigns fighting the odds against fucking Kane and Big Show was paint by numbers.

People don't mind it being free after a fair window of several days. It's the way it's always been, and also Sky and inDemand and whoever are still trying to sell encore presentations. 24 hours is far too soon after paying a recently increased £20 or whatever. It's not liking to moan at all, it's not being made to feel like an idiot for buying something and good customer service. There's several reasons for years the companies have shown stills for the week following a PPV rather than moving images.

Good luck to them but they haven't been hard done to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamehhh Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 TBF I swear at one point Cole said see who won the rumble and is going on to Wrestlemania then showed Reigns pointing at the sign in a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest draws about PPV is watching something live, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
