I thought the match was fine and better than some of the main events we've had recently. I just wish that the ending was better; that Becky could have pinned Ronda after one of her own moves instead of just reversing something Ronda did.

Considering Rousey was working with a broken hand or that everyone was so tired (fans and wrestlers both), that might explained the bizarre finish.
I think the match was a victim of the show being so damn long, even if everyone was working at 100% health.

The ref counted before Ronda's shoulders were down and she kicked up. Was she surprised that it ended there?

It was good, they busted their ass and in the arena the crowd was reacting but we was def tired but this felt like a main event
It just ended abruptly which took people by surprise but they did their part

Watching this again and it slaps, botched ending aside. Bryan vs. Kofi is still easily my match of the night and Kofi's win the highlight, but I really enjoyed it. Not a classic or anything, but those women beat the shit out of each other and I bet another match would rock with a fully healthy Ronda.

I thought it was nothing special and thought Sasha/Becky/Charlotte mania 32 was much better. Kofi/Bryan should have closed.

Best match of the night... which wouldn’t be hard.
The right woman won.

Fightful made a good point about their entrances.
Ronda had a badass band playing her theme as she walked to the ring like a badass given she's supposedly the Baddest Bitch on the Earth. Charlotte is a queen and she literally descended upon these cretins from the sky in a helicopter which shows that she thinks she's above everyone. Becky's entrance was plain given she feels one with the people so she came to the ring as she's done since day one. Even though she's The Man because she's running the show, she's also The Man because she's just like everyone else.
That's amazing.

The moment the rumblings of this match being the main event started I knew it was going to suffer from the exhaustion of the show. Not surprised at all.
My only other thought was that it was going to be freezing cold last night (you never know in the north east) and the crowd was going to be even more grumpy. At least the weather held up.

So what was the deal with that ending was it scripted so Rhonda could come after Becky? But it seems like Becky's now going to be feuding with Lacy. So did Ronda decided to pull a Hogan from starrcade 97 on us?

So did Ronda decided to pull a Hogan from starrcade 97 on us? Considering they didn't even mention the controversy on Raw from what I saw, even cutting to black in the recap pin and cutting out dialogue about it...I'm calling it was a botched ending they're going to sweep under the rug. At least until, if she does, Rousey returns from her broken hand.

I thought it was a great match, didn't come across as choreographed as most matches these days which might be why some weren't as impressed (maybe, I could be wrong) but to me that added to it. Felt more like a real fight between three people thst hated each other and wanted to win, not a perfectly scripted match between three people trying to put on a show.

They should use a more favourable camera angle for the finish on the network.

For anyone who uses an app called Grappl, which is something you can sign up to and be your own Dave Meltzer by giving star ratings to wrestling matches (I know a couple of people here already who use it), this is what the average ratings of WrestleMania main events currently look like. The bracketed number is the number of users who have rated the match:
So, like I figured earlier in the thread, it looks like it's landed in the middle of those rankings, but it's still rated as one of the better WM main events of the last few years.

Thought it was a really good match, like four star good, with a good fast pace and hard work from everyone.
Let down by a crowd slightly burnt out and an underwhelming finish. It's not even that I think a pinfall rather than submission loss is bad, just that it was done rather clumsily.
Rather than "YAYYY BECKY!", it was "Uh, what, wait, Becky won, did she win, oh yeah, Becky!" kinda finish, which isn't hitting the nail on the head.
