I was very pleased with the show. The only stinker in the show to me was the Umage and Batista affair since I'm wondering where they're going with this afterword. Big Show Mayweather was much better then it could have been and is it me or is it strange that Smackdown or once got the final spot on the show? Was that because Batista won the match?

I still hate the ending of the Taker/Edge match. The ending of a WrestleMania should be something dramatic and/or established. Hes been doing that move for like a couple of months and it wasnt really a big ending at all. Edge shoulda got to the ropes and after a minute or whatever, Taker hits another Tombstone. Thats like his big WrestleMania finisher. You dont end a match with something that anti-climatic. Also it kinda devalues the title to have someone willingly give up they're title at WrestleMania.
The Triple Threat kinda sucked, it seemed like a RAW main event, not a WrestleMania. Everything else was alright. Big Show/Mayweather was way better then I thought. I even thought that BunnyMania match was alright. Ashley seemed like was trying real hard. Michaels/Flair was a great match with a great ending. MITB had some real cool spots.
It was alright. Better then last year I think. If the Triple Threat was good and the Taker/Edge ending wouldnt have been so stupid, it woulda been a great show...

It was'mt terrible, aside from cena's marching band entrance(way to come off as more of a douchbag) and the MITB was a highpoint minus the ending, flair vs hbk was fantastic IMHO, Show vs Floyd was um.....asinine....yeah asinine, kane vs chavo, the second only full match that cvan fit into gif form.

Geez, Big Show comes back just to lose to a guy named Floyd. Now that's humiliating.

Geez, Big Show comes back just to lose to a guy named Floyd. Now that's humiliating. Maybe the higher ups at WWE will be so thankful to him for being a trooper and coming back and doing "what's best for business." WWE treats its most loyal trooper well. Hey, remember how well they treated Bam Bam Bigelow after he was a trooper for the company and put over LT? They kept him around for many years and gave him numerous title reigns. Wait...nevermind.

I thought Mania was pretty awesome than again I was there, also if anyone was interested in what the Mayweather money looked like, I got one of the last ones after a mad dash of hands went grabbing for it. 20mil Im rich!

MITB, HBK v Flair, Mayweather, Orton retaining = AWESOME
Cole and Coach = not awesome.
Also I wish I had one of those Mayweather bills!

Small point, but the announcing last night was atrocious. Makes me miss Gorilla and Jesse and/or Gorilla and Heenan. Lawler is just brutal. When HBK goes for SCM and stops and than Flair slaps on the figure four, Lawler shouts, "That's why he is the dirtiest player in the game!" Why? Cuz he put on his hold cleanly? Don't get me started on Cole and Coach. Especially Coach, he adds nothing. I usually like Styles and Tazz but they weren't on enough for me to criticize. I loved it when Flair through HBK off the turnbuckle and Lawler started to say something like "taking a lead from his own playbook no wait um...". Coach and Cole should not commentate on the main event either, it's just wrong hearing Michael Cole say the last words, JR always make it sound better. Oh yeah I loved the show, first time that I felt that mania feeling since WMXX, I think the outside arena did it.

Hey Guys I just watched the replay Wrestlemania I had to avoid the temptation to check on everything like the stage, the match listing the whole nine even down to every ones attire (I know it's my own little thing).
Any who it started of kinda slow with JBL And Finlay, but picked up a whole lot of steam with mitb. Batista and youmanga was blah ( lol on bats not able to get youmanga up for the Batista bomb).
I'm not even gonna comment on Chavo vs Kane....
Now Shawn and Ric stole the show by for IMHO... The psychology for the match was great ! I was captivated from the moment the walked down the isle until the final wave goodbye from Ric...
Now say what you will about the triple threat match and Cena but it was pretty good... I thought the marching band for Cena was perfect for that moment, it got me my pumped for the match (poor Randy didn't even get fire works or anything it was really sad).
Plain and simple Mayweather and Show was really good I was thinking train wreck all the way, but Mayweather impressed the heck out of me. His and Show's entrances were on point, to me an entrance can make your match big time and it did for them.
Bunny mania = pee break
Undertaker and Edge was great form start to finish (No rain for Taker but it's ok). The only thing that bothered me was Coach and Cole they killed the match for me, and everyone else would agree they're almost as bad as West and Tenay..... almost.
Whew, plain and simple this Mania lived up to the hype, the outside atmosphere and their set was brilliant, it was better than last year by far, it's a must by for Blu-Ray also... Congrats WWE you did it again.

last night was a good show that could have been gret, i gave it a C overall.
finlay should have won the belfast brawl, there was no reason for jbl to go over, and no retaliation after he did win was ridiculous.
mitb was superb and i was suprised(and elated) to see cm punk win...keep pushing
batista vs. umaga... who cares we´ve known the outcome since this was announced, nice to hear dave getting booed though.
kane vs. chavo, ridiculous squash, bring out the undertaker to bury wwecw next time.
michaels vs. flair thoroughly enjoyed it, both men were excellent
bunnymania wwe does not do womens wrestling
mayweather big show would have loved either big show to win or a HUGE schmozze at the end.
orton retains... genius move, the belt matters people hate him more, all hail the bookers here.
edge vs. undertaker, decent drama, obvious(and right) outcome
