I have to admit that I am surprised people are dismissing the annoyance some have that WWE put out the main material for free the night after some have paid $60 or £20 for it the night before. It isn't like the Network, where I pay for the Network and I consider that the PPV's are free - some will have paid for PPV and got it FREE less than a day later.
I can understand why the world is the way it is now.

I don't know who shits on people on who won't or can't get the WWE Network, the WWE or some of the people on this board. The WWE could have presented anything last night, instead they chose to show a Pay Per View(and I will consider them as such as long as they offer them up for $55 dollars). There is a large portion of this country, and even more worldwide who can't get the network, or who's internet is too slow that it makes it almost impossible to watch a live streaming PPV. These are still a large portion of your fanbase, and you totally shit on them because of the backward thinking that anyone who doesn't have the network is some type of rube deserving of derision.
I hope you get a refund, or a partial refund when you call the cable company.

Why would/should a cable company issue a refund for something WWE decided to do?

I hope you get a refund, or a partial refund when you call the cable company. Why are they entitled to a refund though? THEY GOT WHAT THEY PAID FOR. I mean, it sucked, but it's what they paid for... Someone getting something cheaper after you paid full price doesn't mean you deserve money back. Your original purchase was there. This is blatantly people trying to get their money back because the show sucked and/or because they think they can get something for nothing, nothing more. They have every right to be upset, but absolutely no "right" to get their money back. I'm all for them trying, and most probably will get something, but all these people saying they "deserve" a refund are being jackasses.

Under the circumstances the WWE had to cancel their show, and given the ratings affect future advertising for them and the network, they'd have been crazy to show a clips or interview show. In that respect they showed the best thing they could.
That said, I can understand people being pissed off because it was shown on Raw the next day, but if you buy something from the shop on a Monday, and they reduce the price or give it away the next day, you don't get to go back, and be refunded the difference.

If I pay a hooker 1000 bucks and then she goes home and gets it on with someone else for free, do I deserve a refund?

I really don't get why they didn't have the NTX guys put on a show or send the WWE guys to a school gym / NXT gym to put on a show.

That is not comparible at all. Either way, you're still paying a shop for the goods. Price rises/cuts are the name of the game. I am not paying WWE to watch RAW, I pay them for PPV's. They are totally separate entities. They are also not hookers so again, that is a ridiculous comparison. I am done in this thread I think. That people cannot see the problem with this, baffles me and just irritates me quite honestly. Good luck getting ripped off in life and loving it.

The NXT roster may not be in a central location right now, so travel would be a pain in the ass, not to mention that the Northeast's weather, has f***ed up travel all across the country. You'd also have to get the production guys there. As for the main roster, there was a statewide travel ban in Connecticut. They try to do it somewhere else in the Northeast, there's no guarantee everyone, especially the production trucks would make it, and if they got snowed in they'd be screwed.

That people cannot see the problem with this, baffles me and just irritates me quite honestly. Good luck getting ripped off in life and loving it. A more accurate comparison would be if you buy something from a shop on Monday, and then the manufacturers start giving the product away on Tuesday direct from their website, you don't get to go to the shop for a refund. You can try, but the shop are not obligated to give a refund because the actions of the manufacturer are nothing to do with them. Legally speaking the OP paid his cable company for a service, they delivered. End of story. The content distributor isn't liable for the actions of the content provider, because they are separate entities. Is it fair on the OP that WWE chose to air the majority of the PPV for free the next night? Of course not, but the blame is misplaced. If the cable company provided the PPV for free the next night, then a refund would be entitled. You can be irritated all you like, but it doesn't make you or the OP right, even though WWE were in the wrong. For what it's worth, the OP will probably get his money back, as the cable company can easily claim the money from WWE.

Worked out well for me. I never buy PPV's, and we got a RAW that was actually far more interesting than their regular programming.

I said the same thing to my wife when Cole announced what they would be showing on RAW. I'm glad I have the Network, that's for sure. I dished out $200-300/y in shitty PPVs for over 15 years, rarely feeling like I got my moneys worth beyond 2001. If I had ever paid like that only to have them show it for free the next night, I'd be pissed too. Of course, I don't think the cable company is responsible, so I wouldn't bark up that tree. You may get them to refund you by threatening to bolt, but only due to the current (7+ years) shitty economy and the need to retain as many customers as they can. Good luck.

But part of what they paid for is the right to watch a program that is not on regular television. You are paying for the privilege of viewing the event when others can't. If things were equal, they could get the money back from the WWE in a partial refund, but I don't know how that can happen. Think about it this way; if the WWE had told people that the Rumble Main Events would be played for free the next night, how many people are plopping down the $55 dollars?
