Referees exist for a reason and so do rules. So, when members of the audience grab on to the heel so that the babyface can get a few shots in, it makes no sense.
Not only did this happen during the match between Dr. Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida, but it happened in the main event too where Aubrey Edwards had to be portrayed as lax and let many such incidents go without the match actually being called off. It did not help that Chris Jericho called attention to each one of these moments, which should have resulted in a DQ, but did not because the match was designed to end with Cody Rhodes picking up a win with the Figure Four.

Speaking of which, what did you think of Shawn Spears losing to the Figure Four leglock? I mean, he kicked out of two Cross Rhodes, and then his shoulders were down in the Figure Four, causing a three count.
Also, were Arn and Tully missed in this match, especially if you consider the finish that happened?
