Can You Get Your Money Back For Not Liking WWE Pay-Per-Views? Not Quite

Pay-per-view sporting events are always a gamble because fans can never be quite sure that they will get enough bang for their buck – just ask anyone who paid to watch Saturday’s one-sided bout between Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez. The same goes for the fans of professional wrestling who pay some $45 each month for WWE’s pay-per-view events.

Yet according to one recent report, those disappointed wrestling fans can get their money back, and apparently all they have to do is ask their cable provider. Is it really that simple? Not quite.

The background: WWE’s current main storyline features Daniel Bryan, a hard-working underdog who has become a favorite among fans. That popularity helped him earn a title shot at August’s SummerSlam, one of WWE’s monthly pay-per-view events, where he took the championship belt off of John Cena to the deafening roar of a sold-out Staples Center.

But the cheers didn’t last long. Bryan was quickly knocked out by Triple H, the match’s guest referee and Bryan’s in-story boss, allowing Randy Orton to steal the title. Bryan had his shot at redemption this past Sunday at WWE’s Night of Champions, another PPV event. The night’s main event was a title match between Bryan and Orton, one that Bryan won, again to raucous cheers. This celebration also didn’t last very long, however, as Triple H stripped Bryan of the title the following night on WWE’s weekly Monday Night Raw cable telecast.

Well it turns out some fans were disappointed that Bryan’s championship win was overturned. So disappointed, in fact, that they called their cable provider to ask for a refund for Sunday night’s PPV.

Sounds absurd, right? According to one report, they got what they wanted...More?
