I've seen a lot of people complaining that it is "no longer a network special" but it was never advertised as such. It's always been promoted as a one night only "Live Event" (which is what they call their house shows) from the very beginning.

 

On topic. Mrs. NIB, NIB Jr. and Myself are all heading down for this. Little man loves Reigns and Rollins so he'll be pleased that it's the Raw crew. He doesn't know we're taking him yet, so he'll be super happy after watching Smackdown in the morning then getting to see them in person for the first time.

People are coming across as little bitches... anyone who thot this was goin to be a network special was quite entitled. A one night only show in London? Especially in this day and age where we are getting all sorts of weird and wonderful one offs.

 

No wonder people hate so many wrestling fans. Fucking keyboard warriors who cant help but ruin other peoples fun

How does stating the fact that this was never going to be a network special, by virtue of the fact that it was never advertised or promoted by WWE as such, ruin other peoples fun?

 

I'd understand if they advertised Backlash in London and then switched it to a Raw crew house show, but there was literally nothing from WWE that indicated that this was ever going to be some sort of special/ppv.

 

How can anyone be entitled to something that they were never going to receive? And how can those same people be entitled to complain about not getting something that they were never entitled to?

 

TL;DR version:

 

Card Subject To Change.

First part true.  It was never advertised as a Network special.

 

Second part, not true.  The initial advertising definately implied it would be.  Yes, it didn't say it would be, but the wording was clearly specifically chosen.

 

I can't remember the exact wording, but saying "a first event of its kind since June 2003" is obviously implying something.  Why would they say that if it was always planned to just be a regular house show?

 

Plus, when it was announced we didn't know there was going to be a PPV 4 days later, and they might not have known either.  Perhaps when they decided they changed their minds on this.  And now they're doing 7 extra "PPVs" a year, they won't be doing "network specials" anymore, so this was changed to a house show.

 

I am fairly confident based on the original advertising, which was changed some time later, that at one point this was planned to be a Network special.

 

Either way though, I would have gone, and am going.

The pricing is exactly the same as the last house show at The O2.

 

As for the "first event of its kind since June 2003" quote, I refer you to the promotional video that was posted on the day this event was announced. There is absolutely no mention of it being a "first of its kind" or anything else. We have a case of people putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

Edit: So a Google search shows that this event actually was promoted as the first of it's kind since 2003 on various websites. None of them are considered an official or reliable source for WWE news.
