I walked out of Final Battle 2009 before the finish to the Aries and Black main event. Terrible.

My brother and I did once at some indy show about 12 years ago. We sat through about 3 matches so bad they made backyard feds look good. We left during what was probably the worst women's match in history (at the time, anyway). On our way out, we bumped into a 400 pound guy in the cheapest luchadore costume I've ever seen, and he tried to convince us to star. "There's a guy here from ECW!" he said. "We don't care," we told him. "Star" or "stay"? Because...either way....wow. Just wow.

Nope, but I "walked" out of watching Raw #900 on TV, if that counts.

btw, aren't dark matches BEFORE the televised shows, not after??? Usually both. You get one pre-show match to warm the crowd up and one post-show match to send the crowd home happy. EDIT: this isn't true of PPVs though.

Yes I have, but not because the show was bad. Far from it. My friend and I had to catch a train, and we walked out during the first ten or so minutes of... Bryan Danielson VS Nigel McGuiness at Glory by Honor VIII.

yes, a long time ago, at the old Boston Garden.
we used to go to the Garden every month for the WWWF/WWF shows. this is back in the old monthly house show days, pre-Wrestlemania and PPV.
main event was Bob Backlund vs. Sgt Slaughter (this was when Slaughter had whipped Backlund with his crop, on the Saturday morning show). anyway...
we were HUGE Sarge marks. Backlund was hated, he was so boring.
a great match, and then Sarge locks in the Cobra Clutch in the middle of the ring. Backlund flails around and then taps. ref waves his hands and everything. the place went wild, Sarge is flipping out, we're flipping out. we saw a title change! and it was Sarge!!
but NO!!
the ref was waving off the hold, not signalling the end of the match. W T F!! Backlund rolls up Sarge and wins.
we were so pissed off at the cheesy ending we booed like mad and then walked out. just didn't care about the rest of the matches (i still couldn't tell you who was left).
i think it was a year or more before we returned to the Garden for a show.

I've never walked out of a show...but God knows I wanted to.
Smackdown in Jacksonville, FL...top feud was Hardcore Holly vs Brock Lesnar...highlight of the show was The Cat vs Vince McMahon in a dance off.
I was so annoyed we drove all that way.

I went to 2 "big shows" that I kinda wish I didn't. One was the 10th anniversary of SmackDown!, and the other was the 900th RAW. After those shows, I went home thinking "but.....nothing happened. What did I pay to see?". It was irritating.
You'd think they'd pull out some big surprises or cameos, but.....nothing.

Best match of the night was an 8 man on ECW and it had an Awful Sheamus vs Tyler Reks dark match.

It felt like a regular SmackDown!, but with a pre-taped segment from The Rock. That was it.
