D.
If this was a random PPV in September, maybe a B- or C. This has to be graded based on it being WM, and as a WM it was a disappointment. Taker/Punk had me. SHIELD winning was satisfying. Henry winning made me laugh just because I loathe Ryback. But the stuff that took the longest time? Wow, really dreadful.

Average. A few good spots here and there. Taker/Punk would be the only match I'd re watch. Bummed Tons of Funk vs. Rhodes Scholars got bumped from the card.  |

I went with disappointing, because that's what it was. Outside of Punk/Taker, there was a whole lot of nothing I wanted to see.

Since it's the first PPV that I paid for, I grade it pretty harshly, it was ok until the hunter match really dragged. I give it a D.

It was a low end C for me. While the show may have been fun, it just lacked those shock and awe moments that scream "This is WrestleMania".

It was fine. Everyone knows the real must-see show is the Wrestlemania fallout at Extreme Rules, anyhow.

There were enough fun matches at the beginning to make me grade it above a C, but nothing surprising and it fell off after the Punk/Taker match, which was a lot funner than I thought it'd be.

I give it a C. No matches were awful... Rock/Cena was a very good match and better than their bout from last year, Taker/Punk was very good as well, Lesnar/HHH was good, Henry/Ryback had a solid big man match, the opener was fine, Hell No/Ziggler and Big E was good but too short, and Jericho/Fangangoo was fine.

Easily a B.
It was better than 25 & 27 by far. On par with last year which was good IMO. The only downside was it felt majorly rushed at times.

Low B, enjoyed most of the matches but they were pretty predictable and nothing special happened.

Gave it a C. The last two matches really dragged it down but nothing else was truly terrible. Taker delivered as usual  , and Henry and Shield winning were neato. Lesnar/HHH was boring as hell and Cena and Rock both seemed like they couldn't have cared less. Overall it was not great but it was not terrible. Also I didn't get my Team Rhodes Scholars fix.  |

D. The only thing stopping me from giving it an F is the Punk/Taker match.

Vince's mentality on Wrestlemania anymore seems to be "take the money and run".
Wrestlemania no longer sells itself for me anymore. It hasn't felt special in years, and tonight was a prime example of everything that is wrong with the product. The audience is catered into believing that there's maybe 8 guys who are readily worth caring about, and everyone else is filler. And those 8 guys have had countless moments at Mania and it's just retreading the same crap time and time again.
Undertaker vs. Punk was a pretty good match, but there was no investment there for me because I've seen this scenario time and time again.
Triple H vs. Lesnar had absolutely no value because Triple H was built to win, and at this point, he has less to offer the WWE as a wrestler than he does as a backstage guy. Why should I care that he's having another match now? How many more do I have to sit through? And how many more are going to play out the same? Both he and Undertaker have absolutely nothing to offer anymore in terms of character.
Cena vs. Rock...again WWE drops the ball by not doing something different. Vince has becomes one of the most cowardly people in terms of chances taken, especially when the opportunities present itself, he still gives us the same thing we've seen for 10 years. And it's not that I WANT to see Cena as heel, and it's not that I prefer heels or anything like that. It's just the same shit as before, over and over.
You can't wow me with video packages and grand sets and hype and wrestling returns for guys who haven't wrestled for nearly a decade. There's nothing left. Time to do something new. Time to grow a set, Vince. Either grow a set, or give up, because if you don't, you're never going to get the fans back.

Nothing made me mad, and there were a few good things about it (Punk-Taker, Tag Titles), so a C.
