I can't tell if they are just incompetent or just have a total contempt for their audience and didn't even bother.  |

People spent hundreds on Raw instead of going out and getting laid. What a bunch of losers!” - Vince, probably. |

Just speaking honestly, I thought it was clear that Barclays was going to be getting the main show while the Manhattan Center was going to get the nostalgia stuff. If you bought tickets for the latter expecting what the former got, then that's on you. If they were so upset, then voice it during the DX segment. That had every chance to bitch and boo and crap on that whole thing. Instead, they cheer and chant and go batty the entire time. I'm not saying they shouldn't feel upset, but they really should have known what they were going to get.

I can't believe they did two arenas. There is zero way to make two arenas a good idea for the show. It came off as hokey and shit on TV as well whenever they were in the old arena, not nostalgic.

Nearly all of the legends were in the Barclays Center while they got a bunch of two-minute Cruiserweight matches. One of which they couldn't even bother to provide a finish for. |

Wow! Proof the term 'mark' still has meaning in 2018. Damn, I paid 30$ for a nosebleed seat at Mania XXIV. People are crazy... I'm paying $15 to see Tetsuya Naito vs Michael Elgin. I hope these people smarten up and quit giving Vince money until the product improves. |

It's the Cruiserweight matches not being longer and one of them lacking a finish that makes this stand out. They couldn't even do the GM/Women's walk out thing there, just to give them a logical addition to their half of the show to keep the fans stimulated. Much less not having Hideo hit a GTS on Nese to at least finish the half-hearted product they put out there. |

the Clown guy and the other costume dorks getting f***ed out of $500 is the highlight of the night Unless Frank the Clown is no longer knocking boots with Noelle Foley, I'm betting he didn't pay a cent. |

I'm not saying they shouldn't feel upset, but they really should have known what they were going to get. They didn't even really get the nostalgia stuff, and reportedly spent much of the match toiling around watching the Barclay's Center get the real meat of things, intercut with some backstage segments. They got a small handful of short, shitty matches, and I don't blame them for not derailing the DX thing, because when you're starving for something to do and something you're excited for, most peoples' gut instinct is to stop being f***ing miserable for a moment and enjoy what they came here for. Barclay's even got most of the legends (Stone Cold, the GMs and women bits, the end-of-show line-up of everyone they lazily crammed onto the show) so the distinction doesn't even really add up. Seeing Taker and DX come by to talk a little bit is neat but it's not what you sell 550 dollar tickets with. |

Damn lol. If you can't see it it says "WOW! To keep people at the Manhattan Center they’re having DX and Balor Club watch from the ring haha" meaning as the Kane/Lesnar/Strowman shit was happening DX was standing in the ring watching it on the screen. Someone in the thread said "they paid to watch wrestlers watch wrestling".  They all deserve a goddamn apology. Even the "super fans". |

Just a nitpick but Hideo hasn't used the GTS since he broke Kendrick's face Anyway yeah, crummy situation for the people at Manhattan Center. I know it would've killed them versus whatever it cost to rent the arena but for the show put on there, they might as well have charged at the ticket prices from 25 years ago heh |

Entire show should've taken place at the Manhattan Center.
All of that effort and money setting the place up, wasted...

As one of the fans in the Barclay's Center, I can assure you it was pretty bad on our end as well. Long stretches of us sitting on our asses watching people in the Manhattan Center get Taker, Woken Matt, DX, Razor, and Balor Club, while we got a heatless women's tag, a heatless jobber tag saved only by a Dudleys nostalgia pop, a pointless Rollins/Jordan/Bar segment, and a pointless main event segment. The opening with Vince and Austin was good, the crowd seemed to really like the Miz/Roman match that I used as a bathroom/food break, and Cena/Elias was an interesting change of pace, but beyond that the show was a drag to sit through.

I feel like the least they could've done was to have the Club in the ring MST3K-ing all the Brooklyn footage. |

This is why they will never do a Wrestlemania 2 again.
I saw a bunch of clatter of a ton of people demanding refunds over this

Since Triple H was there. They should had done a nxt show for the dark matches instead a bunch of short 205 live matches. Like do a NXT and UK championship matches.
