I say 8. MOTN, in my opinion, was the Tag Ladder match. Main event was exactly what I thought it would be, pretty good but I didn't expect a six-star clinic from these guys. Great near-fall with Reigns spearing Rock into the double pedigrees.
Sami vs. Gunther had some great moments but I feel like it could have been even better. Both of these guys are capable of a lot more, but I was cool with it. Gable/Sami seems to be up next and I'll gladly have it.
Congrats to Truth, with the work he's put in over the last 30ish years, and the fan support he currently has, his win was very well deserved. Loved that match and that finish.
I feel as if something was missing. Perhaps that "something" may be there tomorrow.

I'm feeling like a 5 that would've been a 7 if it were a different PPV. It was a decent watch but Gunther losing and parts of the main event were the only things that at all felt special really. That said the ending convinced me that Cody's got this. You don't go that hard on shot-for-shot recreating last year to have him choke again. That kind of sums all of it up nicely. 5 feels a little too low in general terms, but this felt flat for a Mania even if nothing really truly sucked.

A 10/10 for obvious reasons

I feel like whenever it comes to ratings it should just be 1 question. Did you have fun watching it? Yes or no. Did I have fun tonight, sure did and I k ow tonight's build leads to tomorrow's matches.

It was fine gave it an 8. If I had to pay 60 dollars for it I wouldn't be so happy but for the price it was cool seeing the Rock not look awful in the ring and see some cool entrances.

7/10
Rhea vs. Becky was good. Not the classic I thought it'd be, but I totally understand why.
The ladder match had some fun moments, and I'm perfectly fine with Awesome Truth and A-Town-Down winning.
I didn't like Santos/Dom vs. Rey/Andrade at all, and I thought the finish was lame. Nothing about it felt WM worthy to me.
I had no interest in Jimmy vs. Jey, and again, this was a match that didn't need to happen here IMO.
6-women tag was fine, but had the same problem as the previous two matches. They might as well just pull the plug on Damage CTRL this weekend.
Sami vs. Gunther was pretty good. I'd be way more into Sami winning if he hadn't already been IC Champ a few times.
Main event got off to a really boring start, but they won me over by the end. The Rock did a much better job than I thought he would.

7/10:
It had a good beginning, a good ending, and a whole lot of meh in the middle.
-Rhea vs. Becky was a quite good match. Especially since Becky was working sick. And winning here feels like it could be the final exclamation point on Rhea’s rise.
-The ladder match was goofy fun and nice to see R-Truth get this moment.
-Then things when downhill. The six man tag was meh with a lame ending. And why have Rey go over Dominik at Mania again?
-Jey vs. Jimmy was a wet fart of a match.
-The Women’s Tag was a glorified extended squash match. Damage CTRL looked like chumps. Jade barely did anything and Asuka loses at Mania AGAIN! 😡
-Gunther vs. Sami was good, but WOW should this have been Gable’s moment. His story with Gunther had no good payoff in the end.
-The ME was 2/3 boring and rough, with the final 1/3 picking up and becoming very fun. Cody losing was the right call IF he wins tomorrow.
Honestly for as much as WWE hyped this show up, I was left a bit underwhelmed overall.

I’ll be honest, staying away from the thread made it more enjoyable to me. Gave it a 10.

Last two matches were probably 8 but i'd rate the show a 6 or 7 overall.

Honestly the only thing I’m feeling very negative on is the finish to the lucha tag match and maybe the Uso match since I skipped most of it. Overall I think it was a really good show and the main event was so much better than I thought it would be.

Show was fine but I did it no favors by watching it right after Stand and Deliver
By the IC match I was checked out and that was apparently the saving grace of the show

I'm going 8 because I was pleasantly surprised by a few results.
Rhea vs Becky was good but dissapointing (Becky was sick, though).
Ladder match was really good, and I'm happy Awesome Truth won (thought Judgement Day were gonna retain).
LWO tag match and Jey vs Jimmy were boring, but I had no expectations.
Women's tag match was fun, and they all looked so cool.
Sami vs Gunther was great and Sami winning was a shock.
Really enjoyed the main event. I'm surprised how good The Rock looked.

I thought it was pretty mid to quite frankly bad what with how it looked on paper and majority thinking this was gonna blow away night 2.
Rhea Vs Becky was a complete let down
The ladder match , 2/3rds of the main event and the IC title match were the highlights.
Jimmy Vs Jey was a complete nothing match
I aint gonna mention the six woman tag other than it going exactly like I knew it would

I'll stand by my statement that this is the worst night 1 Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 36 but even Wrestlemania 36 had the Boneyard Match. I don't see myself rewatching any of these matches any time soon.

I'm going a 4.
Becky vs Rhea was good, but I was expecting better from Big Time Becky. She usually hits a home run, and tonight she hit a double.
The tag team cluster was fun. I'd rather they didn't split the tag belts, becasue the tag champs being allowed to float is the only thing that makes the tag titles seem special. Splitting aside, this was my favorite match of the night.
Mysterio and Andrade vs Dom and Escobar was alright. The ending sort of deflated it. Maybe those footballers are local heroes, but that cameo was wasted on me.
Bianca, Jade, and Naomi vs Damage CTRL was a house show match but without the fun spots. Jimmmy vs Jey was equally awful.
Gunther vs Sami was good, but I think Sami winning was the wrong choice. My second favorite match of the night.
Rock and Roman vs Cody and Seth was a boring slog.
So mostly not great matches and the presentation was just not there. This did not feel like a big time Wrestlemania. This felt like a Crown Jewel.

I feel they worked out the two night format finally.
Tonight wasn't spectacular but it was good and it all built for tomorrow.

9. I enjoyed the whole show. The six woman tag match may not have seemed as important as everything else, but WWE still did a good job creating a story behind the match so it didn't feel like filler.
People can debate the Sami Zayn/Chad Gable thing like whether or not their favorite movie deserved the Oscar, but Sami defeating Gunther was still a cool moment.
