Rate WrestleMania 34

I don't have the slightest f***ing idea. I largely had fun with it, even with the end in a, "This is an unfathomable disaster," kind of way, and most of the matches were pretty good but... Yeah, I don't even know what the hell on some of those creative choices.

I guess I liked it on the whole but I have absolutely no clue how to grade this thing. I kind of feel like I could give it anywhere from an 8 to a 2 and feel justified in the decision. So WEIRD it is.

The hardest part is deciding how much to take off for the main event. I enjoyed pretty much everything else, but how much does a bad ending ruin the show for me?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Exceeded expectations, some stupid booking, they killed Roman Reigns

I'll give it a seven.

Didn’t watch the main but I really enjoyed the show otherwise. Solid 8 for me.

[brettappedout (BLM)]

I'll go 8. Too long and I didn't like Jinder winning, the RAW tag match was stupid, length of Jax/Bliss was too long and AJ/Nak was disappointing.

Overall though good wrestling and fun moments.

[Stu]

It wasn't horrible and the effort was definitely there. The good stuff was good and the bad stuff was bad. As far as I can tell, the good stuff will be more memorable than the bad stuff. And even said bad stuff has some logic or benefits (the big one being Asuka's matches are now more unpredictable since the streak is done).

I gave it a seven.

[Facetious]

I thought it was a solid 6.5. Took points off for the ME, the length of the show, and Nia/Bliss but I didn't even expect that to be good.

[MGH]

I think a 7 sounds right for me.

I actually had fun watching it. It didn't kill me from boredom like other recent ones. I just can't go higher than that with the booking decisions.

[Bub (BLM)]

I'm so glad "WEIRD" was a poll option. Definitely that.

[Juice]

Worst show since the underrated december to dismember, f***ing insulting,and terrible, and a dumb main event with a confusing ending.

[mo]

Gave it a 7, I enjoyed much of it. The main event and Raw Womens Title match brought it down a bit but it delivered for the most part. These five-six hour Manias gotta go though.

[kingoftheindies]

Biggest complaint is it was just way too long. The Braun stuff was dumb, the Raw women's match just went too long and wasn't good, and the Asuka loss didn't work for me. The Ronda match ended up being very entertaining. As was most of the rest of the show. They also continue to get cold feet on Roman and it does him no favors.

But again, biggest complaint is once we got to 10 o'clock it became a big chore

[BorneAgain]

8/10.

Pros: IC Title/Mixed Tag/SD Women's and the Bryan tag all delivered. Nakamura/Styles was very good though not great. The Braun stuff was stupidly entertaining. Taker/Cena had a great payoff.

Cons: Jinder's victory, Nia/Alexa needed to be cut in half, the SD Tag title match was just there, and the entire main event was just boring.


The really big thing was that this paced itself a lot better and didn't drag until the last hour or so. The non-wrestling BS being limited to the Elias/Cena segment was a very nice change of pace.

[Lupin the Third]

That was a 2. So many decent matches that had endings that made me want to slam my head against the wall.

[Dat Dude]

Me: this is the most promising WM in years, with the potential of two Japanese and two Samoan wrestlers walking away with gold. It's insane how much WWE has progressed. There is no way they could mess this up.

Vince: Hold my beer...

[lemonyellowson]

Some great matches, a lot of shit booking and whatever the f*** that tag title abortion was.

[Alice Syndrome]

I don't even have a meme to describe this, so I'll rate it as a Why?/10

[Deleted]

Gave it a 7.

IC title triple threat was the perfect choice for an opener. Great match, happy with Rollins winning.

Charlotte vs. Asuka was pretty good, I wouldn't have had Charlotte end the streak but I'm also not upset over it.

US title triple threat was inoffensive I guess. Would've had Rusev win or Orton retain.

HHH/Steph vs. Angle/Rousey should've ended with both HHH and Steph tapping, but this was far better than it had any right to be. I'm not a Ronda fan but I also haven't been actively rooting for Ronda to fail, so it's good for her that her stock is only going to go up after this.

SD tag titles triple threat was also inoffensive, even though The Bludgeon Brothers aren't over at all. I hope the Usos move to Raw after this, they could use the change of scenery.

Undertaker vs Cena... moving along

Bryan and Shane vs. Kami was alright enough. Bryan hasn't lost a step at all and it's going to be a treat watching him wrestle again. Completely over Shane wrestling. Hopefully KO and Sami or one of the two go back to Raw.

Nia vs. Alexa was way too long for my liking and Alexa dominated a little too much, but still OK. I'm glad Nia won and I hope Alexa turns face and takes a break from the belt.

AJ vs. Nakamura wasn't the classic everyone was expecting, obviously, but I'm really intrigued by heel Nakamura going forward.

Raw tag title match was harmless, because it's not like it was possible for me to give less of a shit about the Raw tag titles at this point.

Brock vs. Roman was pretty surprising, as I was expecting Roman to win. Match itself was... whatever. I hope to God there isn't a third match but if there is do it at SUmmerSlam or something.

[King Devitt and the Woke Mob]

7. The card lived up to the wrestling side of things, and the Rousey match really surprised the hell out of me.
I got to see Finn in rainbow colours, and good lord...

But the booking of this show was f***ing weird and takes it down.

If you're going to have Asuka lose, as I said in the main thread, have Charlotte lock in the Figure 8 with one arm.
Asuka escapes.
Asuka locks in the Asuka lock.
Charlotte escapes.
Locks in the Figure 8 again with two arms.
Have Asuka struggle to get out like Ember did against her first match with Shayna. Make it long. Build tension.
Then Charlotte can win.
I LOVE Charlotte, but that was a shitty way to end the streak.
Instead of being fought for, it felt like it was just given up easily after all the build up.
Even a surprise roll up or Carmella cash in would've kept Asuka's mystique intact.

That and Jinder winning were the low points for me.

[S-Chrome]

The Good: Bryan's return. Undertaker dragging Cena to the learning tree. The IC Title match.

The Bad: f***in Jinder. The death of Braun. The length.

The Ugly: The Main Event. The sacrifice of Asuka. Jinder pinning Rusev for maximum insult-age. The corpse of Kurt Angle.

The Meh: Jax/Bliss, The SD Tag-Title Match. Rousey. Nakamura/Styles. (Particularly the finish.)

Gets a 5 from me. Good match quality marred by shocking booking decisions.
