I think you are talking about me and was not my intention to "mock" anyone for not liking the show. Apologies if it came across that way. Main event dragged though, could have definitely made that match shorter.

What a f***ing shitshow. I'll say that I think it's hyperbole to call it the worst Mania ever but it is certainly the worst Mania since 27. It's weird too, the matches were all pretty great, minus Shane/Taker,but the booking just ruined everything. Everything that fans seemed to want that were denied it felt like we were being punished. Being a WWE fan is essentially being a fan of a tv show that tells you to go f*** yourself every episode.

Yeah...I'm not going to watch wrestling for a while. I don't mean that in a whiny smark way. I mean that in the context of I burned myself out tonight.
So, Jericho kicked out of all of A.J.'s signature moves and his finisher and pinned him clean. Yeah...way to go.
The Cell match dragged. And I just couldn't get into the Womens match. I don't know why. I mean, it was a good match, but I just couldn't get invested in it for whatever reason. I tuned the main event out. Lesnar vs. Ambrose was good, but I wish Ambrose had won. And I was glad Ryder won the ladder match.
Not a whole lot of backstage stuff, I noticed.
And Rock coming out with a flamethrower was cool.
This Wrestlemania was a chore to sit through/

Well we had a Royal Rumble a couple years back that was a middle finger to the fans.
Now we have another middle finger from Vince with Wrestlemania.
Other than Corbin winning, I don't understand the booking of any of this.
Well I do, but it's headshakingly annoying.
Also, great job on muting the crowd and blaring Reigns music to drown out boos.
I'll say it again, Vince listens to the fans so much he has to silence them.
Reigns gets another WM main event payday he didn't deserve.

The matches were pretty good, the results were pretty terrible.
I'm happy for Zack Ryder.

Yeah defiantly taking a break from WWE. Might catch some NXT. But some time away from the main product might be good for my sanity. See you in off topic (oh still gonna play WWE 2K16) I kinda had a feeling this weekend was going to burn me out good, I wanted it to in a way. I figure screw it, I've watched all these shows leading up to this disaster, I'm gonna go all out and watch it. But now I'm like I need to do something else. Me too.

I'm sorry, I have to say this. And I apologise again, because this is awful,
but the last time a PPV was this bad overall, someone died in the middle of it.
For the most part, the results sucked but the matches were OK, with the exception of Ryder winning his big one
and then after the battle royal, IT WAS OVER HALF AN HOUR until the ME started. On a 6 hour long PPV. They overran by 20 minutes before the start, and they still did a half hour long, awful match that nearly made me tap out, even with your support.
It is 5 am here. What were they thinking?

I've cut the cord and only watch the Network. I get El Ray via Sling so I can watch Lucha Underground but I haven't let. Even if I had cable I won't watch Raw other than special occasions (The Bryan Retirement Show, maybe a go home show) because when I was watching it it was more a chore then something I enjoyed. So in that way I could tolerate the show tonight. It was.... weird.

The shitshow is going down as either one of the worst, if not THE worst WrestleMania of all time. What little positive this show may have is undone, and then some, by some of the worst, tone-deaf booking this company has ever had. Plus this show drug on for what felt like ages. And that main event... MINUS FIVE STARS.

What ever happened to that US title match? Did they postpone it to Raw? It started about 6 hours ago Oh damn, I missed it.

Well I an certainly happy I spent my grandma's inheritance money on the top california dreaming package for last year's and my first Mania...and not this one
Last year's was f***ing astounding and a perfect show if you compare it to this. And that is not front row first Mania biased

It's sad to think what Reigns could have been with intelligent booking. Same with Wyatt. They could have easily cemented the future face and heel of the company IF Roman had spent the laast 18 months being pushed as a legit badass in the midcard we'd have people pushing for him being champ. 18 months of being forcefed him as the future of the company whether we like it or not is red hot death for his career Exactly. Imagine (as I said during the build up to that year WM) if Reigns had been the one to face an undefeated Rusev, beat him, win that title. End his streak, and then cement himself as a badass defending the title....don't give him superstar of the year, don't give him the Rumble from last year, let him build up. Then he wins this year, let him have Kane's record, and he'd be the face of the company they wanted. Instead. Vince happened. Tonight is no different. I thought the main event was solid, it could have been a star making performance for Reigns had the crowd been behind him. HHH is adept at making people look good when he wants to. But instead we get what Vince wants, and a muted crowd that just proves how wrong he really is. Hell practically the whole show did that. Even before WM, the build was lackluster for almost everything. I won't say I'll stop watching, but ugh. I look forward to Rollins returning, and if they keep Reigns face....god help us... It was like Vince said, "I gave you Ryder" (of which I'm not a fan but I respect everyone else digs him) "so I'll just ruin the rest of the PPV for everyone else to my own megalomaniacal satisfaction".

I thought I had fallen asleep sometime during the ladder match and had a strange dream, but nope all that actually happened. Now I really am going to bed.
I've also just remembered I did 3 bingo cards that I didn't fill in, so if anybody wants to do them, feel free.

some GREAT matches tonight but let down by VERY BORING AND NORMAL END BOOKING
expected something to happen at the end of the HiaC match ..... NOTHING ..... no vince powah walking down at the end .....
expected something to happen at the end of the WCmatch ..... almost did, steph took that spear very well, but since everyone knew the outcome and hated it, maybe one of THE quietest WM endings ever!
it all felt a little FLAT at the end, which is a shame, 'cos the whole show was actually exciting!
ALL OF IT

After tomorrow I'm done with the main show again. I'll stick around for the trainwreck joy of the RAW After WrestleMania, but after that...
This whole show was a shit sundae, and Roman is the cherry.

I actually did like the show up until the ending to the Hell in a Cell match. The results didn't bother me because AJ won twice against Jericho, Brock didn't need to lose to Ambrose and Ambrose is fine without the win, while I would've preferred to see Sasha win, Charlotte's kind of nothing without the championship, and New Day is New Day so they'll be fine.
The ending to Shane vs. Undertaker, though, was the limit for me. Shane should've won. It was the ending to what they were presenting as the storyline, and Undertaker gains nothing from this. Everything after that (aside from Baron Corbin winning the ATGBR; that was brilliant) was just meh.
