With that said, what else am I going to do on a Sunday afternoon? I'll still watch. Learn a new language. Go out on a date. Make a painting. Go to the gym. Sleep. Watch some porn ,the storytelling will be better anyway

Solid B+. It would be an A but I'm tempering expectations in case they don't GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!
Hoping for Kofi winning, Becky winning, Rollins winning, a good AJ vs Orton match.
Don't care about Miz vs Shane, HHH vs Bats, Corbin Angle (Hopefully this is a swerve).
Actively dislike Natalya and Beth vs Sasha and Bayley if it happens.

I'd say a C+ at this point, still looking forward to Kofi vs. Bryan and Orton vs. AJ. I don't care about the women's match as much as I did a month ago.
Angle/Corbin (hopefully they're swerving us) sounds god-awful and I'm pretty sure they've faced each other a few times in the last few months and they were less than memorable matches.

Hell yeah, it's still WrestleMania.
Daniel Bryan is my favorite wrestler of all time and he's the WWE Champion. He's in a hot program with Kofi Kingston, who I've always liked.
Becky Lynch is my favorite female wrestler of all time and she's going to (hopefully) get the big Mania moment.
Seth Rollins is awesome, he's got a big spot. Hopefully he puts Lesnar down.
Finn Balor is my favorite male babyface right now, hoping we finally get DemonMania.
I get to watch WrestleMania with my girlfriend, who's gradually getting more into wrestling.
Things are generally pretty great for me. I'm hyped for the show.

I think the show looks stacked and in almost all cases whoever wins I am happy, so yeah shitty shoot build or not I am in.

If I couldn’t get excited about f***ing WrestleMania, I would stop watching altogether. This.

I'm conflicted.
The big reason I'm potentially going is to be in a bar with a large group of Irish wrestling fans ready to go crazy when Becky wins the belt in the main event. It's part of a two day weekend where the Saturday they're showing Takeover from the previous night and the ROH/NJPW Super Show live afterwards with WrestleMania on Sunday.
The build has absolutely sucked, yeah, but the show is probably the most important part and if it's good, the build just becomes a punchline and if it's bad...it's WrestleMania 32 where every good guy lost except Roman which drains the hell out of you.
I'll probably end up going and MST3K the whole thing but I was less sure of it than I was after the Rumble.

I'm not resurrecting my Network sub. Don't get me wrong, I don't care how f***ing long the show is if everything is good. A seven hour show can be great and a three hour one can be an atrocity. But I'm sticking to my guns on the "f*** LESNAR" front.
That and I have to work that night anyway so it wouldn't matter.

People oftentimes like to argue on here that this board is too negative. That the fans on this board are impossible to please and too down on the product all the time. I tend to disagree with this, since WWE is simply a poorly booked wrestling product too much of the time for those criticisms to hold that much water.
But the fact that an “F” is in 1st place here is really proving me wrong and it’s showing me that too many of you are either trolls or MASSIVELY hyperbolic in your criticisms. Yeah, the Women’s title match build has been pretty much a disaster and the Universal title match isn’t nearly as hot as it should be. Those are the two biggest matches on the show, so I can certainly understand a C-grade or even a D. But an “F”! There’s NOTHING on WrestleMania that you’re looking forward to AT ALL? I find that patently ridiculous if you’re a wrestling fan. WrestleMania is always worth watching for the spectacle and newsworthiness alone, and that's even before we get to the matches, most of which should be fairly solid even with the weak builds.

Sure. The main matches have kept my interest for the most part and the undercard stuff ranges from tolerable to pretty good.

I voted D- because literally the only thing I want from the whole show is Becky winning. But I have no interesting in the match itself being a triple threat or with the nonsensical story. Every other match has a meaningless or no build, it is jsut not interesting or i still don't believe its gonna happen as the fans want(Kofi vs Bryan). So hard D- for me.If it wasnt for Becky it would be a F.

Looking forward to the show, absolutely dreading the length of it. Not really as hyped as I could be and the thought of Seth & Kofi as Champs after Wrestlemania is about as exciting to me as eating Original flavour Hula Hoops for the rest of my life.
Orton v Styles is probably the only match I’ve massively hype for. Hope it’s on early whilst I’m still wide awake.

The card itself looks strong, but the build has been ass.

It's like they're doing everything humanly possible to kill interest in Wrestlemania. And it's certainly worked for me.
And really, I'm long past the point of it just being Wrestlemania as a selling point. Last few have been a mixed bag, at best.

I find that patently ridiculous if you’re a wrestling fan. WrestleMania is always worth watching for the spectacle and newsworthiness alone, and that's even before we get to the matches, most of which should be fairly solid even with the weak builds. That's an unfair generalisation. There's a whole lot of reasons why someone may find their interest in this years show bottoming out. I voted 'F' and I'll defend it if you still want to call me a troll. Firstly, something has to be exceptionally good for me to want to watch 8 hours straight of it. That's a huge hurdle that has hurt them in the last 3 years. These shows straight up are too long for me to enjoy them. I lose interest after the 4th or 5th dull match, and knowing there's still over 2 hours of content to go doesn't give me reason to get all that excited. Which is a shame cause I used to get excited at the thought of getting up early, driving an hour to my uncle's place to watch it with him. But I'm at the point where that seems like too much work for what I get in return. It's so bad to the point I hope he doesn't bring it up so I don't have to risk hurting his feelings, of breaking that annual tradition. Straight up, this show has just not been good in the past three years, and while prior shows maybe shared similar lackluster qualities, at least you weren't eventually staring at the clock hoping it would end. Secondly, they have done themselves no favours in the way they've written themselves into Mania this year. Looking at the card from a distance, it probably looks fine. But the way they have completely soured me on just about everyone involved in these matches I was actually excited for. It's reached a point where I can't put that feeling back in the box now. Anytime I look at this card all I see is wasted potential, and it depresses me. Because what guarantee do I have that the same shitty writing won't be present in the show itself? If I've been disappointed by the past three years of the show, and I'm even less interested in the promotion of their product, why should I pretend it'll be fine because it's branded 'Wrestlemania?' I'm not going to blindly try and force hype out of myself because supposedly it's what wrestling fans are supposed to do. f*** that! I can make my own decisions, and decide how my time may be better spent. Like maybe following other wrestling products that don't leave me feeling bad. Thing is, I don't like that I'm this negative about it. But it's where I am now. I actually want it to be better. Because I have good memories of watching the show, and even being live at one of them. But I can't imagine putting that same time and money into this current product, and that makes me sad.
