It’s a 7 for me. Only one fantastic match, yeah, but a lot of good results to set up ‘the new year’ right.

Had an awesome time, right people won pretty much across the board.
9/10, only because the finish to the main event was sloppy.

It was the best Mania they've done in years, gave me a lot of winners I wanted to win but didn't actually expect them to pull the trigger on all in the same night, and some surprisingly enjoyable segments I didn't expect to enjoy.
Reigns and Drew, Corbin and Angle, and Finn and Lashley were just the pits, though, and kinda glad those latter two only combined for only 10 minutes.

Didn't watch, so I can't vote, but I just wanted to point out how f***ing bizarre it was to check on the thread and read what was posted without any context.
Glad they did the three essential babyface wins, but half of the show read like a deranged fever dream in text form.

Purely from a results perspective I'll happily give it a 9. WWE can still be satisfying when it wants to.

Kofi, Becky, and Seth won and that's pretty much all I wanted. Had Angle won, the Batista/HHH match been about 60% shorter, and the main event finish not be weird it'd be an A but I feel like I can't complain too much.

Followed along on Bleacher Report and here and I almost gave it 10 just for Seth, Kofi, and Becky winning.
But then McIntyre vs. Reigns apparently went sour (oh dear....) and Braun ensured he doesn't do much for the rest of the year since that seems to be what happens to the Andre winner. 8 only.

8/10 -1.75 for the length -.25 for the main even ending. +8 for a babyface show and especially for Kofi.

I’ll go 9. I need to process after a day but I had a lot of fun. It was just SO LONG but Kofi/Bryan and the result was an all timer

It would have been an 9 if the second half was like the first half...but it was not and the second half f***ing draaaaaaggggeeeedddddd and then came the flat ending to the main event.

9, as everything post Cena/Elias and pre triple threat felt blah, but the quality of the matches and the common sense of the booking easily makes up for it.

I give it a 9. The length did get to me and there were some low points (Angle losing, Roman/McIntyre), but overall, they had the right people win, didn't give us screwy finishes for the sake of swerving, and sent the fans home happy.
WWE has shown tonight that beneath all the bad booking, hotshot feuds, and endless TV's, there's still an entertaining wrestling program lurking under there somewhere.

Best Mania in awhile it was just too damn long. I'm shocked they went WITH Corbin/Angle but the result didnt bug me. There was some sloppiness at different times but outside of that I was pretty much just done with Mania after Kofi won. Not I a bad way that was just the hot story now and there was still what 2 more hours after that?

Thought it was really bad. The ending really killed everything for me. A dusty finish to the first ever women’s main event. What a waste of time. If it wasn’t for the tremendous Kofi v Bryan match, it would go down as one of the worst manias ever. I gave it a 3.

9. Only thing keeping from being a 10 for me is the fact that it's just too damn long.

7. It dragged big time after Bryan vs. Kofi. No real 5 star matches. The Ronda vs. Becky ending looked botched and was too sudden anyways. I do not like Corbin winning.

It's an 8. Roman/Drew into Trips/Batista into Corbin/Angle drained me and I'd say most others. It was just too long to be anything better than an 8.
I think if you cut those 3 matches you shorten the show by almost 100 minutes, which would still make it far too long but more manageable.

I gave it a 10, which is not me saying it's perfect, but that it is probably as perfect as this format's going to get, and I'm grading Wrestlemania as a Wrestlemania, not something where I can say "if it was 4 hours long instead" and compare it to some show I made up in my head and was never going to get.
Not every single match went to who I wanted, but almost all of them did, and even being bummed Bayley lost, I am happy for the IIconics, and think they could probably be a fun pair of champs, even if I don't think it'll last.

6 That block of matches between Kofi/Bryan and Ronda/Flair/Becky brought the show to a screeching halt. I understand they want to get as much talent as possible on the show but as I said in the thread, less is more.
