If it wasn't for the last two matches I'd give it a ten. Went with 8.

I can't rate it. I can't due to how weird it was. Even right now I'm trying to process what we saw but my head hurts so I'll go to bed and hopefully I can figure things out by the time Raw starts tomorrow.

7 Some of the booking was weird as f***. But the matches were good to great with a few exceptions.

I'm generous tonight but I'm voting 9! I'd have liked a few different finishes, for sure, and if I was submitting this to WWE I'd of course put it lower to make them work harder with the booking or something ha, but I did really enjoy watching this.
I liked it a lot better than the last couple WrestleManias. And somehow, I'm looking forward to Raw and Smackdown more than before.

The main event is a hell of a long time to wait for a piss break, but I bloody well did it (proud nod).

I flip flopped between 7 and 8, but decided on a 7. It had good matches, it had some quality moments, and it had some results I agreed with, but the lack of closure on a lot of it, and the main event with Brock stiffing like usual because I guess he forgot how to actually do his job, brought things down for me.
Still an above average Wrestlemania, but not by a whole ton.

6/weird.
Charlotte winning really bothers me. I can’t stand her in the first place. She’s been shoved down our throats and is highly overrated to me and full of nepotism. She didn’t need to beat Asuka.
Nak Amanda should of won.
Roman vs brock I felt like I was watching a rerun. Nothing they can do will ever make me care about Roman. But I wanted them to just get it over with already

8/9
It was too long but honestly I wasn't really bored with any of it. I just felt guilty for dedicating 7 hours to wrestling.

8 but there were somethings I didn't like
Charlotte winning, enjoyed the match but I'm guessing its going to be Charlotte v Rousey next mania instead of Asuka and also how many more accolades are they giving Charlotte, shes the female roman...she needs to go sway from the belts for a while
Alexas match...again like charlotte she needs to go away from the belts, she's been in the title scene for the last 2 years...and it is unbelievable when she's always half the size of her opponents and dominates them
The Kid tagging up with Braun was silly, apparently he's the kid of Jack Cone the ref...would've been interesting if they brought Ellsworth back
I'm now curious with the Reigns thing...are they backing off on him (finally) or will he win it on Raw/Backlash

I gave it an 8, based purely on my personal enjoyment of it.

This didn't feel like Wrestlemania to me. No one upped their game, there was no pageantry, terrible winner choices.
Extremely disappointed, especially since it's the first Mania I've been hyped for in ages and actually stayed upto watch, it just felt flat. Even the building didn't look like Mania to me, I think they should stick to outdoor ones, it makes it feel more special.

Didn’t watch the Main Event and it seems I was justified in that. That aside, it was a decent show. The IC Title Match was a great Curtain Jerker and arguably match of the night, the other possible Match of the Night was Charlotte/Asuka even if the Cena ramp run was an insult. The Orton Match was forgettable as was the whole Midget segment with New Day The Ronda Match was kind of a mixed bag,Seeing Trips and Angle in there when it’s obvious they shouldn’t be, was painful. That said Steph really Sold for Ronda. The Cena squash was fun for what it was and a good way of erasing Takers awful Match from last year. The Tag Match was all about Daniel Bryan and it was great to see him back, though what the hell did Shane think he was doing out there Bliss/Nia was the right result but went on to long AJ v Nakamura was ok, not bad but felt like a warm up to match that had finished to soon. That’s when I bowed out

Weird, and not a good "funky" weird.
Rollins would have been my third pick to win the IC, behind Balor and Miz respectively.
Asuka should have won, and continued her streak to SummerSlam where Ember breaks it (story was already there). And that post match angle with Cena could've waited.
Not mad at the SD Tag deal, just...you play up the Usos finally making the main card, and you book that?
Skipped Mixed Tag, because Rousey.
Jax/Bliss went way too long for that story. At least they had it where Alexa was blatantly cheating with the eye stuff to weaken Nia, but...yeah. Three minutes max of Jax murking Bliss.
Styles/Nakamura just...the hell was that? The kneeling bit before the dick punch also really rubbed me the wrong way.
Raw Tag made sense, Braun's whole thing was he didn't need a partner.
Expecting Sami and Kevin to go to Raw, was a fun match.
And the elephant in the room, L O flibbity L. That much build, making Roman look that strong, sacrificing everything for the sake of this match. Brock wins. Easily, it seems (skipped).
Just. Wat

Once I sat back and removed some of my "I didn't like some results BLARRRRRG" emotions, it was a good show. I give it an 8.
Like I said my main gripes are based on results but I need to get over myself.

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... While I thought it would go that way, I didn't think it should have gone that way just because, that would have been playing to the audience too much.I saw Asuka as unbeatable, not Japanese. I saw Roman as pushed down everyone's throat, not Samoan. I saw Nakamura as an accomplished wrestler with an inexplicable affinity for spastic motions, nothing more, nothing less.

The Show was far better than I thought it would be going in

Out of 10.
Like, you had good, but the weirdest things derailed the whole show, & Lesnar winning means that this whole event, and in essence, the last three years, have been a wash.

I give it a 6, the stuff I enjoyed was more than what I didn't like/was unaffected by.

I started watching with the IC triple threat and switched it off after the mixed tag match and so the show was very enjoyable for me.

WEIRD. Some good matches, but with confusing finishes and lengths. Matt winning the Andre Battle Royal pleased me, even as dull as the match was, and I'm interested in seeing where this Matt/Bray tag team goes. Ali/Cedric was cool. Most people would have preferred Ali winning, but on the other hand, Cedric finally won a tournament in WWE after coming up short in the CWC's, so I was fine with that. Now give him Veda again! Naomi winning the Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal over Bayley has me scratching my head, even though I'm usually okay with Naomi. IC Triple Threat was AWESOME, but not so much for the new dad. I didn't like Asuka's streak ending to Charlotte, but thought the match was good. Rusev getting pinned by Mahal in the U.S. Title Triple Threat pissed me off. Capitalize on Rusev Day, damn it, or let him go to NJPW. Angle/Rousey vs. Triple H/Stephanie was better than I expected. It didn't need to go that long, though. I thought The Smackdown Tag Title Triple Threat should have been a Ladder Match. It was alright, but expected The Usos to win instead of the Bludgeon Brothers. Taker kicking Cena's ass after the latter got so anxious for a match with him for so many weeks was hilarious. Great to see Bryan getting to shine in the ring once again in the match with Shane vs. Zayn/Owens. Glad to see him back after his career was thought to be over in WWE. Nia winning was the right move, but Bliss should have lost sooner. She could either use a face turn (so she'll be flying around more again, and it'll freshen her character up), or be more cowardly like she was on Smackdown. Styles/Nakamura was decent, but given the two guys in the match, it was kind of disappointing. I felt that the Raw Tag Title match was a waste of Braun. A kid as one-half of the champions? LOL, Roman lost for the second time in a row to Lesnar. Please don't make a third match with them, WWE. Turn Roman heel already. Too bad spoiler tags aren't working for me right now, because this was a long post.
