    It'll be funny if they advertise it during the ad breaks tonight.

    Nope. WWE Network for me. It is a no-brainer when you think about it. €24.95 for one pay per view which works out as two months on the network.

    But to get what you are referencing Rovert :pac: Such a person would be MIGHTY pissed right about now :p and you couldn't blame them.

    Someone in the live thread mentioned paying €25 for it....so I guess they did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Yeah i did, i wasn't going to but at 12.55, i ordered it, its only €25 and was just easy to press the red button, then set up an account at that late stage. Laziness i suppose, more then anything

    Wonder if someone can do the sums in a few weeks and make an educated guess for how many bought it on Sky.

    Anyone who did should be getting on to Sky demanding a refund, given they aired it free last night, and will likely do so again on Wednesday....

    Im not bothered they showed the matches last night, if there wasn't a storm they wouldn't have showed them, like i said above its only €25,

    I'll spend more money this weekend going to galway for meath game on sunday where we'll probably get beat, and i wont see that money again either, same with cheltenham in march.

    If im the 1 that ordered the 1, that'll do me ;)

    I did too, pure laziness too on my behalf. Can't see myself ordering the Network or any other PPV again to be honest.

    I nearly did but when I saw the price I said no chance.

    An appropriate start to the new PPV deal for both


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Ageyev


    Interesting about the refund thing. Apparently some networks who also had Rumble rights cut Raw after they saw they were just showing the two big matches from it.

    Had we known we could have just waited and watched Raw without signing up for the network or ordering on sky box office :)

    Ya but that means you'd be one of those well-adjusted types that don't have to stay up till 4 in the morning even if you have to be up 2 hours later and also can avoid spoilers for an entire day.

    Hi can anyone tell me what day and time it will be repeated thanks

    This is interesting ...
    http://www1.skysports.com/other-sports/news/14203/9683070/wwe-raw-monday-nights-show-postponed-due-to-inclement-weather-in-north-east-usa ... Was posted at 3.17pm today.

    Doesnt mention anything about showing the "raw" that aired for american viewers last night. But plugs the smackdown show which will air Friday night on Sky Sports 5.

    So it would appear Sky aint showing Raw? So no refunds.

    ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ha, I streamed :p Never watch it on Sky.
    So pretty much they've already left themselves open for refunds now? Even if they don't replay it :)

    Yep. Silly move. They could have easily cancelled it.

    Exactly. Surely Sky knew what WWE were planning on showing. Since the cancellation of raw was making the news.
