While I knew HHH was going to win, I was still pulling for Lesnar.

Good for the ones in the thread that I saw say they enjoyed it, but I thought it was a wreck.
And Hunter winning ... yeah.

Slow at the beginning but I really enjoyed it near the end. Especially how they played up Brock being an inhuman superbeast that Trips had to throw everything at just to put down.

Same thing with Rock/Cena, started very slow but picked up well in the end.
Bad idea to put it on after Punk and Taker though. That was the match where the crowd was the most hyped for.

If you liked it, more power to you but I thought it sucked. Just when it seemed like it was starting to pick up, it slowed down to a snail's pace thanks to "THE ASSKICKER" trying to prove that he can tap Lesnar out.

Genuinely bad match.
I love Brock, and I'm tired of Triple H as an on screen character/performer, but regardless of that, if Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler had the same match I'd call it garbage too.
Genuinely baffling, and that's before I start to think about how damned obvious it all was.

Triple H almost got Lesnar to tap 3 times and essentially won clean.
I think the aura of "the monster" Brock Lesnar is gone.

It wasn't the best match of the night or anything but it was good, it's sensible booking for HHH to beat the guy that has been tormenting him and his family for months.

It was ok. I thought it went to long and dragged which killed the crowd. For a B- PPv it would have been a decent main event type match, for Mania? It was underwhelming.

Meh, it was alright. Nothing to write home about and nothing that really sticks out. Lesnar used a hell of a lot of suplexes

Was so confident that HHH would get his win back, that I literally went and slowly made a sandwich. Butternut and jelly, ate it and enjoyed it (unlike the match). For some reason I couldn't stop sneezing bull#*%$ whenever HHH put in that...*sigh* kimora lock.

It was good, but it was nothing compared to Punk vs. Taker. Also, HHH's Kimura Lock is a joke.

Pretty predictable. Really thought HHH was going to make him tap which would have been hilarious. I guess we needed more confirmation that HHH is the greatest though. I wasn't QUITE convinced yet.

Triple H almost got Lesnar to tap 3 times and essentially won clean. I think the aura of "the monster" Brock Lesnar is gone. He held him in the Kimura for ten straight minutes (and had to force it back on three times), had already pedigreed Lesnar once, hit him in the face with a sledgehammer and wasn't able to pin him until he hit a pedigree on the freaking steel steps.

There were some nice spots but too much nothing in between those spots.

Triple H got his win back on the biggest, most watched stage in all of professional wrestling. Personally...I didn't like that because I don't like him.

So did Vince just throw a ton of money at Lesnar so he could humble him for a year?
I... I just don't understand this insecure, petty, backwards-ass company.

I know there's a lot of overreaction to be expected, and a lot of people to judge the match over who won, but I thought this match was fun. fairly few slow spots and a couple of pretty close calls on pins. Plus that pedigree Brock took looked beastly.
