What happened after Webster Hall closing down URL 's event Armageddon
Did fans ever get their money back from webster hall?
Did fans ever get money back from when they closed down the Gramercy theatre where they only were able to tape yung Ill vs jc?
Did smack ever end up suing webster hall as they mentioned in their blog?
Were there any other battles that were taped that day that weren't released?

Good questions.
I assume people got the refunds, or someone would have called BRA complaining like they did after the event wondering when they would get them.
No idea about the lawsuit against webster hall and no idea if any battles weren't released.

Wasn't there a video of Beasley telling people outside Armageddon no refunds but if they had 20 bucks and cab fare they could ride across town and catch the rest of the battles of which one was actually completed? Doubt they sued Webster Hall or if they did it's buried in the NYC civil courts docket. But whatever happened they haven't recovered. They lost out on Lux vs Hollow, did the shoe convention show (which kind of paints a weird picture financially that they would let the greatest stage in battling be an afterthought at a fucking fashion event). They have no big match-ups in the works that I know of, not even rumors. BET probably paid well for the tourney but that whole thing was a shit show too. Basically, a huge budget and slick talk can't make up for their apparent lack of professionalism. 2014 needs to be their best year ever to not get backburnered by UW and KOTD.

The "20 bucks and cab fare" thing u mentioned I believe was gramercy theatre which also got shutdown. And they ended the night at pyramids, home of eow (where they shot conceited vs surf).

Yung ill vs jc was free? I thought gramercy wouldn't honor the tickets from Webster hall?
Nonetheless, I'm glad folks were refunded their loot. It's fucked up how the venue treated smack. Finding a venue is so tough in ny, cuz I have heard venues doin similar shit to promoters for even non-battle shit.

What are u talking about?
B magic,Chilla Jones,Qleen,Bigg K and Danja Zone all come out of the pg's (all of them top talent).
Mook and Lux came from Smack dvds.
URL took the biggest chance by bringing the Legends back for sm2!
They paid mook 20k which was a Risk that didnt prove to be good for them.
URL takes alot of risk, u just choose to ignore them.
And now u want them to set up a Rematch of a battle they already have?
Think before u speak....

sm2 is the biggest event in url history and sorry but i wanna see mook vs lux rematch a lot more than hollow vs lux
20k was well worth it if you count the promo and the fact that a sponsor paid part of it+ good performance by mook
