Daylight wasn't a good look, ME came across way better for it being dark. Is this the last time for a good while that we have a WM show in daylight, again?

Better be.
I'm not sure why but whenever it's in the day, I don't remember the matches as much as when at night. Seems a bit lackluster.

It gave us the sight of Bray Wyatt using a lantern in broad daylight.
We need all Manias in daylight.

I liked the daylight. Some of my favorite visuals in the Wrestlemania's that happened in Florida are the first hour when it's still daylight. I encourage more west coast Wrestlemania's.

I liked the eerie twilight at the end of the taker/Wyatt match, but the daylight throughout didn't feel right......certainly hurt the entrances (especially wyatt)

I hope so.
I remember reading on here a few days ago, a quote from some set man who said they were planning for day time with cool visuals..... liar.
They just removed all the cool stuff and gave slightly extended RAW entrances. Shouldn't have bothered.

The daylight looked painful, I wish it had got darker sooner.

It wasn't that great of a look IMO. It was unique at first, but then it just felt off.
I'm fine with the show starting off like that and than getting dark about a half hour to an hour in.

I didn't like it too much. It makes it feel strange to watch these angles you've been following for the past several months or year get resolved (hopefully) at show that doesn't much resemble the one you've been watching.
The daytime did help with the Sting vs HHH match. Gave it a WCW feel, since WCW seemed to do more daytime PPV shows in the 90s.
However, the twilight was very good for Bray vs Taker and Reigns vs Brock. By the time it got to those matches it was my favorite look for a Wrestlemania since 26.

As it was Bray looked like he was going to install fly wire on his submarine after the match and then fly it to the sun.

God I hope so. It didn't look good at all to me. Keep all the WM's in Florida for all I care. Or at least in a giant stadium with a roof. So many moments that should have been magical just looked ordinary and lackluster.

Turn the lights out. The day time stuff seemed too bright, there was a lot of "shine" through certain parts, by example the ladder match-- a lot of glare and flash at the camera that made it visually unappealing. The aluminum ramp, the whiteness of the mat, ropes and ring posts vs the solid black contrast of the baricade didn't help much at all in making things pop. If anything, it only reflected more light, and all the colors of wrestler's gear and the crowd got basically washedout by the abundance of daylight, especially during the wide angle shots-- and wide angle shots and Wrestlemania go together hand in hand, those types of shots make the show seem so much better, bigger. The main event though, looked really good, especially the shot of Seth running down the ramp, you could see the 4 lit poles, the overhead lighting rig, the whole crowd:

The biggest problem was the combination of being outdoors but also on the west coast. Wyatt/Taker was a match built on entrance hype completely undermined by a blue sky above them. I think the only visual that was helped by the daylight was Rusev riding in on a tank, everything else would have either been just as good with some darkness, or greatly improved by it.

I liked the daylight. We almost never see them wrestling in it so it added to the big event feel of the night.

I hated the daylight. It really detracted from some of the entrances and matches. Bray and Undertaker in daylight shouldn't be happening. Really though, it just made the event seem less special (which might be odd since it was a departure) but it just made everything feel less important. It felt more like a throwaway summer PPV with it being so light out than Wrestlemania.

I like the daylight and hope that they start having an outdoor ppv at like an MLB Stadium(Do it on a long road trip) or NCAA football stadium durring the summer.

I mostly liked it but I wish it was timed to be darker for the matches higher up the card.
And yeah that sunlight f***ing destroyed the Bray/Taker entrances sadly enough.
