Lawler got the pin, the 'Raw GM' reversed the decision via email, Cole wins.

I'll take what they end up doing, but their rules say that ringside decision can be reversed, so that's not a good reason.
Diana: Results will be graded/regraded based on the official result at ringside. A result may be revised or altered after initial presentation by the ring announcer. Results are not official for wagering purposes until verified by officials at the fighting venue. Official or unofficial sanctioning body overturns of a fight decision based on appeal, suspension, lawsuit, drug testing result, or any other fighter sanction will not be recognized for wagering purposes.

FWIW "Diana" was adamant that the settlement will not be changed.
Given that it normally takes 20 minutes to explain what the problem is, she was surprisingly well informed.

Well, when you look at it, since it was by email, the GM really wasn't at the fighting venue.

My issue is that I was quoted that rule along with a lot of very defensive chat (At no point did I demand to be paid, I just want to know their reasoning for settling the way they have)
The rule doesn't really back up what she was saying. If anyone gets more sense out of them than "We're paying on Lawler because we're paying on Lawler" I'd be interested in seeing what the reasoning actually is.
Losing on special/prop bets being settled oddly is par for the course, not knowing why they chose their decision is rather more unusual and irritating.

If this one isn't settled as a draw in line with the Lawler settlement THEN I might get more annoyed at the situation though!

My issue is them treating this like it's a sanctioned boxing or MMA event, it's clearly an entertainment prop. FWIW, my winning bet hasn't been graded yet. Maybe they are waiting until the end of the event...which just happened.

Lawler will be graded as the winner. They should also be grading The Miz as the winner.

They've graded Miz as a draw/no action, which is at least consistent with the thing that was posted about an interview someone read where it would be graded on what the ring announcer said.
Of course, it would have been nice for those rules to have been on their site and would have been even nicer if I wasn't on the wrong side of both of the disputed ones.

Can you imagine if the reputation of 5dimes becomes tarnished by a WRESLTEMANIA event?

Non issue ffor 5dimes reputation. You bet a low limit entertainment prop and lost. You might have a valid claim but is anyone who matters really upset about percieved misgrading of a WWE prop? Is anyone gonna stop playing here depending on the outcome?

This is beyond comprehension. I mean, the presidency is rigged and all (), and we can still bet on that, but that doesn't mean we can all know who's going to win. This is FAKE. Thus, without any amount of exageration, typical gambler's excuses, etc.--the fix is very literally in on a pro wrestling event. It's damn near like betting whether the Packers won the Super Bowl, only right now. How the hell can you offer actual odds on a fake contest without knowing that betters will be intentionally misled? Am I missing something quite large here?

If I was booking, I would feel that the reversed decision on Cole should have been the graded winner. As long as it happens by the end of the event that night, then that's what goes down in the "record books" of WWE.
How many times over the years did someone beat Ric Flair for the world title only to have it "reversed" a couple of minutes later? This happens all the time in wrestling - it just builds "heat" for the next match.
