Sorry. I hated pretty much every second.

Nope, there's already a thread saying the same thing from a few hours ago.

I liked parts.
Just a warning though OP, no matter how many negative threads are on the first page, people who hated the show will swarm this one anyway. You're not allowed to like something that the hivemind didn't.

Its not like the match quality was shit, for the most part, Roman/HHH and Brock/Ambrose really sucked, Brock/Ambrose especially was disappointing
But the booking? That was the drizzlingest of shits. If match results and booking had been better, it would have been a much better Mania, on top of the Rock/Cena burying the Wyatts segment which annoyed me
As I said in the Mania Thread, bake a nice cake, Ill compliment your on it, but if your finishing topping is just literal shit, it kinda takes away from the cake I just complimented, and makes it hard to look at the same way, and that happened for like four of the Mania Matches, Divas Triple Threat, Jericho/AJ, Taker/Shane, and New Day/League, all marred by bad booking and endings.
NXT Takeover Dallas outclassed Mania this year, and it wasn't even close... Corbin winning the Battle Royal and Zack Ryder winning the IC Title were the only two results I was really ok with, the whole night was a mess.

I watched WM last night with a house full of people. There were some match outcomes that didn't make people happy, but nobody said it was a bad show.
I'd put last night as a solid B for a Wrestlemania. And I'm ok with that.
I wanted to post more after the show last night to talk about some of the fun things but the negativity online just sapped that. Today is a new day, and the power of positivity will let me post! Thank you Booty'O's!

I enjoyed it about as much as that time I got food poisoning.
Moments where I thought I was getting better (good match quality) followed by me running to the sink to throw up (shitty finishes).
Reigns vs HHH was the point where I had my head slumped on the kitchen table praying that this medicine I'd just taken would finish the job.

Besides the street fight being a let down and the main event I loved it.
I enjoyed WM 32 a lot more than 31 and i'd put it a head of WM 25-29 as well. Hopefully the AJ/Jericho feud ends well and there match will be remembered in a better light.
Ambrose/Brock was the match most wanted to see and it lacked the big spots that the ladder match and hell in a cell had.

This is like the third "I enjoyed WrestleMania" thread that is currently on the first page...so no.

Zack winning was cool. Nice to see Rocky, Cena, Austin, HBK, and Foley. But that whole card, ladder match excluded, seemed like a giant spit in the face from the Powers That Be. It said "Yeah. We KNOW what you want. We KNOW what the 101,000 people who bought their tickets months in advance and traveled halfway around the world attend want. And we don't CARE."
I've said it before and I'll say it again. WWE ticket buyers are basically a weekly focus group that pays through the nose for the right to tell you what your paying customers think of the product. Telling them, time and time again, to sod off is a *really* stupid business decision. Millionaire who SHOULD be a billionaire.
I got the show for free. I used the free month trial for the WWE Network. Won't be renewing. That's how bad WWE is at the moment. It's not worth 35 yen per day to me to continue to subscribe to the network.
101,000 people paid an unimaginable amount of money to attend this years show...and THAT is what you gave them? The largest crowd in the history of your business and (thanks to the free trial) possibly the largest world-wide audience you could've ever had...and THAT is the show you put on? I know injuries hurt the card, but THAT was how you filled the card? Roman/Ambrose would have been a crowd pleaser. Shane/HHH. Lesnar/somebody from NXT. Taker/Joe/Demon Balor/Corbin/etc. New Day going over and getting their "moment". Sasha being crowned the new champ in front of a huge crowd and her famous cousin.
Maybe something happens on RAW tomorrow night that completely reinvigorates the product. But that won't excuse that abysmal Wrestlemania. It'll go down in history with 9 and 13 when "worst ever" lists are made. And WWE is going to plug their collective ears and go "Haha, yeah, but we sold 100k tickets!" and completely ignore that the people who bought those tickets hoping for a good show and were rewarded for their time and money with...whatever the hell THAT was.

I was at the show. All I can say is that it was loud. So incredibly loud. I used to be a Train Operator for the NYC subways (still am technically, but I work in the offices now). I think I suffered more hearing damage from last nights show then I did from my five years driving the trains.
I left before the main event. Honestly, I was tired and it was late and I didn't feel like sitting around another half hour getting my hearing destroyed by people booing Roman Reigns. The WWE should've really seen the writing on the wall for this and moved past it months ago. It's not like they don't have precedent for something like this, the whole reason Batista got his initial main event push was because Randy Orton wasn't working out as well as they expected.
The only match and ending I truly hated was Dean Ambrose-Brock Lesnar. It was so utterly pointless for Lesnar to go over like that. They seriously could've told an amazing story of Ambrose utterly bamboozling Lesnar by turning it into a wild, around the arena, weapons filled brawl. Instead we got a Singapore cane and a few chair shots and Lesnar working the exact same damn match he's worked for the past five years. He's had some cool moments since his return, but for various reasons I really feel like the WWE should've never brought Lesnar back.

No, I enjoyed it a lot for the most part. My frustrations are largely based on match results.

There was some legit good matches last night but like cjb01 said, the outcomes were awful and soured me on the show. Also the show ran way too long.
There were a few things I enjoyed last night though. The ladder match and Ryder winning, the awesome womens match and Corbin winning.

I enjoyed mostly everything until after the HIAC match even if I didn't like the results. Everything after that though was terrible.

First show in a long time that had me legit mark the f*** out but it was mired by an awful final hour or so. I'd give the show overall three stars.

I said this to a friend, but 15 years ago, if this was sitting on the shelf at Blockbuster, and I rented it, not carrying how it fit in the current landscape; I'd have enjoyed so much more.

Apart from the last hour it was mostly fun to watch despite none of the match results making a lick of sense
