It was very thin - it was basically a four match card.
Probably similar to the pandemic WM where two absolute fever dreams stole the show.

I’ll give it a 7 It didn’t match up to night 1 but it was still fun Being there live the crowd was invested both nights. I don’t see anything to be salty about with these shows I didn't like the Vince vs. McAfee "match" but that's about it. McAfee vs. Theory rocked, though.

A generous 7
Hated the main event, hated Vince beating McAfee, HATED the New Day "match" and thought it was bullshit and kind of disrespectful to Big E given they wore tribute gear for him
But overall, a fun night, entertaining, and nowhere near the slogging dredge that Night 2 was last year, which was an absolute plus.

Opening tag match was fun until Gable ruined it.
Lashley vs. Omos was whatever. I just wanted to see Lashley suplex him.
Johnny vs. Sami was amazing.
I don't even wanna talk about the women's tag match.
Edge vs. AJ was good.
BUTCH.
Pat Vs. Theory was great.
Roman vs. Brock was okay but I've seen it all before.
This is tough. Night 1 was all about the wrestling, whereas Night 2 was all about the entertainment and BUTCH.
I'll give it an 8.

6. For Austin and Roman.
Edge v. Styles should have closed, it's bedtime and I could use the solid sleep.

A 6/10.
The opening match was awesome.
Lashley vs. Omos sucked.
Knoxville vs. Sami was loads of fun.
The Women’s Tag started slow, but got good later on.
Edge vs. AJ was, good. But not the banger I was hoping for.
The New Day match sucked.
The McAfee/Theory/Austin/Vince stuff was also very fun.
The main event was, every other Brock vs. Roman match. Just lazy and boring.
So yeah Night 1>>>>Night 2.

I gave night one a seven, but could easily went as high as an eight.
However, I give this a solid eight… There were two great matches in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and the WWE Rae’s Tag Team Championship, a good one in Edge vs. AJ Styles, and an incredibly fun one with Sami Zyan vs. Johnny Knoxville.
I honestly missed the entirety of the Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory one, but caught the impromptu match McMahon vs. McAfee, which was fun if only for the nostalgia of Mr. McMahon just being “that” version of Mr. McMahon again, and even at seventy-six years old, clearly suffering from vertigo and his body no longer able to do what his mind tells it to do… He still took the Stunner better than his wife, Linda.
The tag team match between The New Day and Sheamus and Ridge Holland, and Omos vs. Bobbly Lashley were more or less the quick matches I expected them to do be, and nothing to write home about.
I know Reigns vs. Lesnar matches are an acquired taste, but my biggest disappointment in what I presume will be their final encounter isn’t that Reigns won, or that he did cleanly… Those are both things I expected and felt needed to happen, but I really expected to be a knock down, drag out type of affair, especially after Brock made it a point to remove his gloves at the beginning of the match.
Even though the WWE shys away from blood as much as possible, I really anticipated the Beast Incarnate to bust open the Tribal Chief the hard way and for there to be a more climatic end to the match instead of the sudden one we got.

Yeah I would did the same thing. Having a match sort of was uneventful. Or even if you did a match just having Theory chest and beat Pat with a chair or something and Vince gets the easy cover

The story of this weekend for me is they have an incredible roster of talent that can absolutely bring it, they also got some of the most game and ready celebs to wrestle, but WWE's WWE moves still loom over everything at the end of the day.

Night 1 was definitely better in my view, but I LOVED the Jackass match and enjoyed the Edge/AJ match, so that helps. Roman/Brock is the same thing we always see with them, but the atmosphere was big and the crowd being so into it elevated it more. Pat/Theory was actually insane with the crowd being so into it. I barely know who those two are, and I was impressed with everything they did. Vince being involved made it feel important, but then he got a little too involved and clearly doesn't belong in a ring anymore. I'd go with a 6, it was fun enough in the context of a live show. I will be watching the Jackass match again probably tomorrow. That was legit an all-time classic comedy/gimmick match.

Not as good as night one but still quite enjoyable. Another great match out of Roman.

Last night was a 5, and tonight was a significant step down. Tag title triple threat was great, though I still contend that Angelo Dawkins ****ing sucks and is actively holding back singles main eventer Montez Ford. Lashley vs Omos was exactly as terrible as everyone thought it would be. Knoxville vs Zayn was a lot of stupid fun. The women's tag was largely bad. Edge vs AJ had a hot start but then both guys wrestled the remaining 20 minutes like they were underwater. Sheamus/Holland vs New Day was so short it might as well not have happened, and I'm glad Holland is getting rewarded with a clean Mania win after nearly killing Big E. I don't give a single shit about Austin Theory or Pat McAfee but McAfee was at least very over and him winning was a feel good moment...which was immediately pissed on by the Vince McMahon ego stroke and the usual Austin stuff. Reigns vs Brock was exactly what I expected it to be though at least the right guy won (never thought I'd say that about a heel Reigns victory but here we are).
Overall not much to enjoy. Going with a 3.

Knoxville/ Zayn was a goddamn car wreck in all the best ways. Patty Mac is a f***ing legend. ….that’s why I watched. They delivered. Everything else? Eh. Exactly Gave it a 10 for those two matches. Didn't really care about anything else. Edge/AJ was good but the ending was kinda dumb and Edge's spear is still whack after all these years

Night 1 set a bar that Night 2 just couldn't reach. I might give it like a 6.5 as opposed to the 8 I gave Night 1.
