I enjoyed it. Some of it stank, some of it shone.
People who were nitpicking Rock/Cena match in the official thread made me laugh. They didn't do that in the very slow paced Punk match but found the momentum to go for it in the main event. Glad Rock won as it upsets them, makes me happy.

Worst Mania in a long time. Started with a complete joke, peaked with Taker/H and went down faster (insert person in sexual situation). Rock/Cena was an absolute stinker for all the hype and build and Jericho/Punk had the needless crap with Ace thrown in taking all the emotion out of it, IMO.

An average Wrestlemania, not as bad as last year but not up to snuff with the best ones.

Funny how this is still relevant this year.

Really, really enjoyed the show. Great stuff all around...after the first half hour which I can't judge because I missed it. I...uh...was watching 2-Headed Shark starring Brooke Hogan when I remembered WM was on.
The Rock winning was a great surprise. Glad to see it, especially after a year of "You're not here! You're not here!" whining, he showed up and won. Can't wait for the Twitter Fallout of all this.

Weird show, the first half was absolutely horrible imo, then from the Taker/HHH match onward, I really enjoyed it.
HHH/Taker was amazing.

Other than Sheamus/Bryan (and there's no reason to get into that crap...but I will anyway - Brodus' dancing mommas and that stupid Flo Rida skit get airtime and that match doesn't? Bullshit!), I found this to be quite the entertaining Mania. All of the big matches delivered everything I'd hoped they would, with HHH/Taker really having that epic feel, Punk/Jericho putting on a wrestling clinic and Cena/Rock feeling just as big and important as I'd hoped.
That, and personally I was thrilled to see Kane win since I can't stand Orton, but that's just me.

Not great, but improved after the first hour. Better than last year's at least.

Solid show. Not as great as I expected,but they definitely made up for last years' Mania.
And hell,after watching Taker vs HHH,I probably can't rate this show anything less than solid anyways.

Crap. Best since 24, but that's not high praise - holy hell though, Triple H / Taker was worth the price of admission. Agreed. I also enjoyed Punk vs. Jericho, although I feel WWE cut that match's legs out from under it by treating it like an afterthought on the road to WrestleMania.

It was...okay. However, I can't help but know that the only reason they ruined what could have been a great match with Danielson/Sheamus was because there really wasn't any other match to bump off the card for the Rock/Cena pre entrance performances. Sure, it could have been Kane/Orton, but those are two hard working veterans who still have some value to the WWE.
Kane/Orton was nothing special.
As was Show/Cody.
Divas tag match was predictable and pointless.
Taker/Trips more than made up for last years disappointment. I was just digging my nails in the seat throughout because of the tension.
Team Johnny/Teddy was decent enough. And seeing as I was rooting for Johnny to win, I can't help be but satisfied.
Punk/Jericho was pretty damn good.
Cena/Rock was never gonna live up to the hype, but they pulled off an okay match. The only thing I'm wondering now is what they're going to do with Cena.

Well, the three main-events were great, but not perfect.
However, everything else was poorly booked and people wonder why the under-card is in complete shambles today.

Pretty lousy show. One match doesn't save it for me, especially a match I really didn't desire to watch to begin with. I'll give it credit, Taker and Trips had a solid story in the ring, but it's nothing I didn't expect. The rest of the show was awful or below Wrestlemania standards. Jericho/Punk could have been better as well. It's better than last year's show....barely.

I was in a bad mood through the whole PPV after that opening. That was the match I was looking forward to the most and I literally walked into the other room right when Bryan was about to kiss AJ and walked right back and Bryan was pinned. I didn't even see the few seconds that it lasted.
I admit that the HHH/Taker match was fantastic, the Punk/Jericho match was great, and the main event was good, even though I wanted Cena to win, but that opener put a pall over the entire event for me and I couldn't enjoy it like I wanted to.
I probably wouldn't have been pissed so much if it they hadn't gotten bumped last year. I guess it's shame on me for being fooled twice by WWE. $130 I've paid to see Daniel Bryan at f***ing Wrestlemania, and haven't seen it yet.

If you cut the first hour then it was a great Mania. (Sheamus/Bryan kinda destroyed the overall abit)

It was good. Not excellent, but one of the better events.
HHH/Taker was MOTN followed by Rock/Cena (mainly for markdom).
Punk/Y2J was lackluster until the very end really.
Divas...horrible.
12-tag unmemorable
Kane/Orton surprising result but meh.
Cody/Show as expected although I predicted Cody would win for some reason.
DB/Sheamus....I don't really care for either so it didn't bother me.
Overall I enjoyed it a lot more than last years.
