7/10. Most fun one since XXX for me. Parts of it were a bit off (wish Becky got to shine more, Bats/HHH went on forever, there were just way too many matches overall for me), but no regrets spending the time.
Raw/Smackdown should be fun.

Gave it an 8 right after the show. Just watched it again and it's still an 8, but I will say the main event was better the 2nd time around as was Triple H/Tista. Not being drained helped.

I'm cool with giving it a 9. Barely a 9 due to some slow moments but for all that time? Yeah, 9.

7.
Some excellent matches and some decent ones that will work better in isolation in later viewings.
The booking was strong and I didn't think any of the matches were actually bad.
The glaring issue is how ungodly long the whole show is, and that the matches they didn't need were almost all pointless.
Rey/Joe didn't need to happen, Orton/AJ could have waited, Finn's match literally only had 'here is Demon' as a selling point and didn't even really deliver that, Angle/Corbin was every single wrong decision in a row outside of Kurt not wrestling any more...
But it can never, ever be anything worse than an above average show. It has three of the greatest babyface wins in wrestling history.

I gave it a 8. If a couple of matches had been cut (especially in the second half) it would have scored higher.
Having the right winners and several feel good moments really helped. If it had've been the same quality of matches but with Brock, Bryan and Ronda winning that score would have been a lot lower.

8
Only points against it are Corbin's win, the weird finish to the show with the controversial pin, and the length
But it was a really good Mania, with one of the worst builds of all time.

It was kind of interesting the match order they went with. Up until the end of Kofi's match nearly everyone was all 'holy crap this is flying by!' and then the Raw matches and Triple H match started and people started losing momentum.
As an aside, part of the reason AJ/Orton wasn't getting great reactions from the crowd is there were a couple of lights that were damn near blinding a significant portion of the audience. When they turned those off the crowd did perk up.
