2) 35- Great matches until the last 90 minutes where the crowd was burnt out and filled with squashes until the Main event, which nobody really cared about because of fatigue. Bryan/Kofi in hindsight should have closed. I get the historic perspective of having the ladies end the show, but Kofimania was an emotional ride, that I feel like the crowd would have woke up for it. I think even Bryan vs. Kofi would've suffered if they went on last. In hindsight, they did Kofi and Bryan a favor by putting them where they did on the card. I think WM 35 would be a top 5 WM if it was two nights like 36 and 37. The length is the only thing that hurts it.

26- To me the blue print for card structure and build for a mania show. STACKED card. Not sure if all the matches lived up to the hype, but it was enjoyable. Mr Wrestlemania rides into the sunset. If it wasn't for Bret/Vince being a complete disaster I wouldn't hesitate to say that was the best of the decade. I loved that show and it was perfectly paced other than that match. I don't why Vince/Bret gets crapped on. I mean of course it's not good. But if any match deserves a pass...

I don't why Vince/Bret gets crapped on. I mean of course it's not good. But if any match deserves a pass... It's just very poorly structured. It could have been satisfying as two minutes of Bret just getting his shit in before making Vince tap and instead it just drags on and on with Bret torturing him to where it just becomes a mix of boring and uncomfortable to watch. You can really see it in the crowd - they're all hyped up to start with, then they kind of start dying off, then when Bret teases the Sharpshooter only to not do it they start booing him. 2) 35- Great matches until the last 90 minutes where the crowd was burnt out and filled with squashes until the Main event, which nobody really cared about because of fatigue.

I think WM 35 would be a top 5 WM if it was two nights like 36 and 37. The length is the only thing that hurts it. Another issue is just that the last few matches are very underwhelming. You've got Joe / Rey going under a minute, then the Reigns / McIntyre borefest, then Triple H / Batista going 10 minutes longer than it needed to, then Corbin retiring Angle to the delight of no one, then the 800th Lashley / Balor match when no one cared about that feud to begin with, then the main event that while good had a very abrupt and unsatisfying ending even ignoring the botch.

31 was probably the best because it was the only one I was in any way invested in. I did not want Roman to win.

28's a show I'm pretty mixed on. I do think it's pretty good, but I never cared about Cena / Rock and I think Jericho / Punk is an outright bad match, mostly due to the stupid DQ rule that makes the first have of it a boring, aimless slog to get through. Once they start ignoring that stipulation it's pretty fun but I kind of just can't give it a pass on the whole due to how much that rule drags it down.
Really I think the biggest indictment I have of 28 is how incredibly better Extreme Rules is. You've got better rematches of Cody / Big Show, Bryan / Sheamus, Orton / Kane, and Punk / Jericho (and in the case of Bryan / Sheamus and Punk / Jericho they're both damn good matches) and Brock / Cena's better than Rock / Cena is. Kind of a hard show to recommend because the follow-up one completely outclasses it.
Though I do love Taker / Triple H.
