I actually didn't mind Mania

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

For real, I didn't. I had fun watching the show and there were plenty of questionable finishes but the only things I outright disliked were Shane/Taker & Lesnar/Ambrose. Even with Shane/Taker, I thought the actual story was tremendous. It was just too absurd under the circumstances for me to take seriously.

So yeah. I didn't hate this show nor do I feel angry at WWE. Not my favorite Mania ever or anything (and I probably wouldn't watch it again) but I didn't think it was a bad show. Just weird.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

I'm not angry either, but that's only because I feel like WWE played a game of corrupt a wish with me.

"I want Ryder as champion!"
"Deal. But that's literally all you're getting."
"Know what? I'm okay with that."

[edgehead]

I didn't either. Far from my favorite, but what I took away from it is a Ryder IC championship, finally dropping the divas title and those 3 tearing the house down, Shane is insane and Baron Corbin! Also enjoyed Styles/Jericho.

I may honestly be in the wrong for enjoying it, but I did.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Oh and Shaq entering the Battle Royal to Panda was one of the greatest moments in the history of our sport.

I agree 100% with noted Sheamus fan, Magic. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Granted I am wearing a New Day shirt so the Power of Positivity was really running through my veins tonight.

Maybe it has something to do with getting to watch it free legally, but I feel the same way.

It did feel like a really long RAW way too often, but it was okay.

Gotta give WWE props for pushing up and comers such as Erick Rowan and Baron Corbin. Who would've known that the guy who had the worst showing at NXT Dallas would win such a prestigous prize. Also, nobody would have guessed Erick Rowan/The Rock as a main event attraction, but WWE did all they could to make believers out of us.

If I went through with my plans which were to go to Dallas and fork out 900 USD for a decent ticket, I probably wouldn't be so cool about the show.

[Rican]

I totally agree with you. I disagreed with pretty much every finish but enjoyed watching the show. Reigns/Hunter was the only really boring match I thought.

[Johnny Flamingo]

I enjoyed the show, found it to be a solid Mania with the exception that it went too long.

Only match I really didn't like was HHH-Reigns though I did like the ending sequence. I felt every other match was very solid. Women's match stole the show in my opinion.

Would have preferred Ambrose winning but other than that I had no issues.

[edgehead]

Oh and let me add...I'm looking forward to Reigns crowd reaction tomorrow night. And I think tomorrow we will have a few surprises, too. Sorry guys, call me a mark and what you will, but I enjoy WWE. If I should be mad right now and that's the correct thing to be, then I don't want to be correct. I was highly entertained all weekend.

[The Nature Girl]

Heh, I got to see HBK wrestling one more time...sort-of.

I'm cool with it.

[RIHT]

If the show was better before, Shaq coming out would have been better for instance. Man, Cena really should have helped Shane win. Crowd would have popped huge for him, and cheer him entirely.

Oh yeah and the HBK/Foley/Austin thing was fun. Yeah, fun show.

[Chestnutrice]

Minus a couple of odd finishes, I didn't hate the show. It was a decent watchable show,though it did go on a bit too long.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I didn't really care that much. There wasn't a single finish that I wanted, but that's ok; I can't get mad about rasslin.

[radiantsilvergun]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it in the moment. Alot of really good matches ranging from decent to great with some nostalgia sprinkled in. Taker/Shane is one of the greatest matches in WWE history

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

I enjoyed it as well. Highlight of the show was obviously Shane killing himself for our entertainment.

Only match I wasn't really a fan of was the main event. At that point in the show everyone was tired and the last thing we needed was a slow, methodically paced match as the main event.

Overall it was certainly the weirdest WrestleMania I've ever seen. Some odd choices for the winners but I didn't walk away absolutely fuming at what I received.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I tried to just enjoy the presentation and the atmosphere not caring that much about the finish of the matches just if they worked hard. Only thing I hated was the cell match, but other than that it was a good show.

[mrbananagrabber]

The matches were fun, the women's match was great, the Shane table spot was insane, Jericho/AJ was good.

But every finish was a buzzkill and a huge disappointment.

[Instant Classic]

The results of many matches were the only thing that sucked. That and Rock shitting all over Bray. And the main event.

[Deleted]

The show's just sad to me. I didn't think it was bad, there have definitely been worse, but the complete lack of faith in their own talent really bums me out. Every year of Wrestlemania where I see a multi person ladder match, where the bell rings and all the young hungry guys immediately go for the ladders to find ways to kill themselves bums me out.

The New Day had a perfectly fine showcase match with a funny entrance, they lose, then the 90s retrospective trio come out and completely take their shine.

The Rock gets a flamethrower, and gets 15 minutes to cut a promo where he repeats every sentence he says twice, then he and Cena kill the Wyatts again. Shane McMahon gets a timeless spectacle match with Undertaker. The guy who is in the top spot is someone fans have been booing for 2 and a half years. At least Zack Ryder got thrown a bone but we'll see how far that takes him.

The matches were good and it's always cool to see guys perform in such a huge setting, but I'm sick to death of the nostalgia.
