Overall good show, but probably the Mania I enjoyed the least and that's down to the opening match casting a shadow that took a long time for the rest of the show to shake off.

I was bigtime hyped for this event, and at the end I was very disapointed.
I was really looking forward to a good d-bry/sheamus match, what with them being two of my current favourites and I felt conned by the 'match'. Also felt conned by the Hell in a cell, which had no relevence to that match either, just used to get people to buy the show. Rock Cena was alright, but I was hoping for more.
The only match I really enjoyed was Punk/Jericho. I liked taker/HHH but prefered last years match.
I HATE Brodus Clay and would be happy to never see him again. Dude's gimmick is tired and played out, really thought he was going to mix it up a bit last night.
Whilst Wrestlemania wasnt bad, it was very tedious and I legitimatly enjoyed last years more than this (which is a shame as this is the most hyped I've been for a mania in a loooong time) x

if you eliminate the first hour, it was great.

Awful show. Every single match was a complete letdown. Even the HIAC match I don't understand all the praise for. Felt like every single match Undertaker has had for the last half a decade, but with HBK standing in the corner looking like he just accidentally murdered a prostitute.
When the Funkasaurus's Momma and her Bridge Club is the highlight of the night, you've done Wrestlemania wrong.

The first hour was mostly terrible although winning my two big bets helped me be more invested than I would have been otherwise.
The HIAC was fantastic. GM Match was fine for what it was.
Punk vs Jericho - The last few minutes were outstanding but I expected more from the rest of the match, in retrospect I'm not sure that it could have lived up to my expectations.
Cena vs Rock - Slight disappointment but still a great match due to the spectacle and an unexpected ending (for me anyway). I think I just expected more of an attidude era style main-event with things like announce table spots, brawling in the crowd, ref bumps maybe even run-ins.
Once again the pacing/time-allocation was awful, I'm not against backstage segments, hype videos or celebrity involvement, dancing etc but they should add to the show not detract from it.
All together it was one of the best manias for a while but could have been so much more.

It was good. The first was terrible. But once the Hell in a Cell match got going the show started to get good again. So I guess overall it was a good show. Better than last years at least.

I thought it was ok.
Way better than the WMs for the last couple years, but it didn't (And never was going to, really.) set the world on fire or anything.

I want this WrestleMania to change the Rock & John Cena for the better. After Punk/Jericho, their submission attempts looked like absolute garbage. I never want to see the Rock try a sharpshooter or John even think about that STF again.
Good show, I had a house full of people, everybody ate well and had a good time.

Only things I disliked:
- Ric Flair being pushed into the background. - Tyler Reks getting a WM paycheque. - Punk and Jericho half-assing until the end sequence.
Great, great show overall.

The difference between this and last year was that it actually felt like I was watching Wrestlemania this year. The guest host thing, no matter who it is, does not belong at Mania.
I was disappointed that WHC jerked again, and the ending was clearly like that because of time as that was the easiest way to do it.
The HIAC match was great, but the cell was unnecessary. That was a no holds barred match with window dressing. The match was awesome though. Definitely better than last year.
Rock/Cena was what I expected. It was a by the numbers match for the most part, but the ending surprised me in a very positive way. Much happier seeing Rocky go over.
The worst aspects of the show was the little things. The crab legs skit, Machine Gun Hipster Crackhead, the state rapper, and that sort of stuff. The Divas match was beyond trash too.
