Haven't seen the PPV due to Foxtel Box Office having 'technical difficulties' but I have seen the Joe shoot.......it was definitely something passionate and did cross the line, but what do you expect when a blow in screws over the wrestlers and the fans by not showing up for a PPV main event?

Compared to WWE its like comparing the quality of WWE Heat to RAW. Its a vastly inferior product.

An ignorant statement. While the storylines are vastly inferior, the quality of wrestling product (particularly at PPV) is leagues ahead of the average WWE show.
