Probably negative on the booking, but I think most will at least be intrigued to see whatever the fallout is after the fact, particularly as it relates to the Shane/Vince/Authority/control of the shows angle.
How long that intrigue lasts will depend on the quality of the post-Mania Raw. All fans seem to want different things, but for me it would be nice to see them get away from the dreariness and bleak nature of the main stories with the bosses always talking down who have to stand there and take it, and actually see them attempt something a little more light. Not every title program needs to have fate of the company stakes.

Negative. What results from this WM could possibly produce excited results? Maybe Shane McMahon winning, but then you have to live with the fact that Shane McMahon beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania. I don't care if it's real or not, that's f***ing awful. Yeah no matter how good the match and no matter who wins there'll be a least some backlash (not the PPV!) from that match. On the plus side a good Takeover and the prospect of the Raw after WM should lighten the mood. |

I remember lurking here around the time the Nexus debuted and people were much more positive, but the mood now is mostly negative.
It is definitely a reflection of the times because this isn't exclusive with this forum.
This Wrestlemania is looking to be a stinker. I didn't even bother watching it last year because of how weak the card was at the time. This year I will watch because I get it free.
People will probably be curious about the RAW crowd at least.

I suspect negative here, but I am optimistic. Takeover looks to be the best NXT card yet and I always, regardless of some of the outcomes, typically enjoy Wrestlemania and the RAW after.

I don't know if it's the "negativity" that I'm dreading so much as seeing the same pattern as every year. Some posters will grossly exaggerate their disdain for the PPV, some more will then complain about the disdain that will lead into the same back and forth between both sides. No-one will change the mind of the other, they'll just be the same stalemate and both sides will pretend they're friends afterwards. Until the end of Raw where the pattern begins anew.
I miss the days where people that disliked stuff could at least be funny about it and people that liked stuff were just chill and didn't take offense.

It will be interesting to come back 9 days from now and re-read the thread.

I'm guessing they'll try and come up with SOMETHING huge but the way they seem to just follow the predicted route (Like HHH winning the rumble from 30), I still expect Roman to win the title and everyone to hate it.

The NXT product and most of its roster are miles ahead of the main roster/product and it's not even close. |

Overall? Positive. Here? They could put on the great Mania ever and I would venture the reaction would be 50/50.

Probably depends on the way things look coming out of the post-Mania Raw, both in terms of the direction the show's headed from here and if we get another, "You suck Bryan!" chant or something. And in the latter case, yeah, then people would be right to feel down on it.
Me? I expect to be doing fine regardless because at this point I just want to watch the world burn (though I will likely be rather annoyed if Ambrose loses, I'm braced for it). Plus I'll be coming off the Ace Attorney anime starting and potentially new Pokemon to salivate over.
I'm also kind of expecting big things going forward, just because they have to know by now ratings are going to plummet like crazy a couple of weeks from now, possibly to where that "since 1997" in the weekly record low ratings turns into "since 1996" or earlier, unless they do something huge after Mania to reinvigorate interest in the product. Though their idea of doing something huge is probably a Ryback / Reigns feud or something with the rate they're just putting on boring Raw after boring Raw during what's supposed to be their hottest period.

Definitely on the negative side.
Even if Shane wins his match to usher in a face run era on Raw, and the obvious great match from Lesnar and Ambrose, no matter who wins the title match, people will be pissed. Petsonally, I'm pretty mellow, having come to terms that Roman will win, so who cares. But, if Trip wins, I'd be happy. It would be a total 180 from my expectations, plus I'd like to see Trip as champ under Shane's regime.

You guys say that but wasn't the mood after WM30 and 31 quite positive on here?
Obviously WWE killed that pretty quickly when they returned to more insipid booking but for a couple of weeks at least people were quite hopefully for the future after the last two WrestleManias.
