I watched the first hour and a half, only saw bits of the next few, and was pretty much back within the first few minutes of Shane/Taker. So I still saw most of the show and it barely held my interest. I DO want to go back and watch the whole women's match since the bits I saw of it seemed good but I sincerely doubt that one match is going to change my perception of the entire PPV.
If the biggest show of the year can't hold the interest of someone who's watched wrestling for 15 years, it's a pretty good sign that that viewer (aka me) would find the show to be fucking terrible. I only kept with it until the end out of pure train wreck factor. |

Don't know if it was Joe bleeding on NXT Takeover or what but I really wanted some blood. Either in the Ambrose/Lesnar match or Shane /Taker. Taker even promised blood. Felt that Lesner/Ambrose was way to short and Ambrose didnt really gain anything from that match. Felt he put up a better fight in the build than he did for the match.

If the WWE get behind Ryder this year (or if Ryder continues to prove himself behind the scenes, in the ring, whatever), I'm wondering if the WWE can somehow push/position Ryder as the equivalent of "Rudy." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_(film).
Could be a good success story and given what we saw with Daniel Bryan, the WWE fans love an underdog. |

All I can see here is a bunch of pussies in need of a tampon change. It was WrestleMania, it was great. Get over yourselves.

I think Ryder is honestly being rewarded for the fact that he works more matches than anyone else in the company if you include house shows. Maybe they are thinking about how he is always over with the crowd, works an insane schedule, never gets hurt and they realize they kind of NEED him on TV right now.

Feels like the show was a 7-hour exercise in producing a 2-minute highlight reel of "WrestleMania Moments"

They really need to censor themselves. No real reason for a 7 hour show

I wouldn't put the Cena sucks chants in that camp. They are more like the "you suck" chants angle used to get, in that it's a weird pro wrestling fan appreciation, than the genuine dislike Roman gets. Though I don't doubt there are a lot more cena sucks chanters that actually believe it, than in angle's case.

Maybe slik, STD, or H'berg can confirm it but supposedly the WWE was putting crowd cues on the Jerrytron to get the crowd to chant stuff during matches. Been reading both the New Day match and Women's title match had ques being shown on the big screen.
Hall of Fame show also supposedly had crowd cues being done although by production crew holding up signs near the crowd. |

Went back and watched the pre show matches. Kalisto/Ryback was much better than it had any right to be.

I've been buzzing through the thread here and reading results. And judging from what I'm reading, I guess it wasn't the best WrestleMania.
Just a few thoughts I got: Unless it further gets addressed tonight, Shane McMahon's return looks like it was for nothing. Sure he took some bumps and put up a fight. But the match didn't really do anything for either man. Would have thought for sure this was it for the Undertaker and Shane taking over Raw was going to bring us new places and potentially end the Authority storyline. Conflicted when Shane came back, still conflicted about it now. Would have liked for Ambrose to go over Lesnar. He had it all going for him. Fans love him to death, had the "blessings" of Terry Funk & Mick Foley, great gimmick to boot. Would have done wonders if the "upstart crazy guy" took down The Beast. Could have been an instant threat to Reigns for the Title and make Ambrose be the "Man who took down Brock Lesnar clean" man we've been waiting for. Styles vs. Jericho. I'm probably in the boat with the majority asking the question as to why Jericho went over here. My script said Styles wins, feud over, both men move on. But I guess Creative is gonna stretch this out for one more PPV and then finally end it.......thankfully. It's getting tiresome. Divas/Women's title. Charlotte wins. I honestly thought this had Sasha Banks' big moment written all over it. Curious as to what happens tonight on Raw. I honestly think Daddy Ric needs to walk away from this and let her stand on her own. IC title ladder match. Yeah.......call up the Scooby Gang for this mystery. Zack Ryder winning. Who knew? Seriously, who knew? Roman Reigns wins, as predicted. There was no 11th hour change. The MITB was already used. There was no other way out. And I guess it wasn't that great of match either. This is what Vince is running with. This is what he wants. Whatever happens, happens. |

That's Brian Zane, a.k.a. "Wrestling With Wregret" on YT. He's actually a quite well-respected guy when it comes to critiquing wrestling events and in his other videos where he talks about whatever's on his mind. I actually sat through it just now and pretty much agree with his "C-" grade. Should really give him a chance.

I thought the under card was really good, but I wasn't really invested in the HHH/Reigns storyline to really care about the match. And i love Shane, but I've seen that match about 5 times from him. I get it . This Mania just didn't have that one big match for me.
I've always been a big fan of a storyline build and to me you can have a mediocre match, but if the build is great, that can always carry a match if you're audience is emotionally invested in the characters. I just haven't cared for the Roman Reigns character at all. It's Daniel Bryan's storyline but just a lot more dull. Some positives were women's wrestling is pretty awesome right now. They pushed Corban. Styles finally got to wrestle on a Mania and the mid card has a lot going for it. They just need to figure out the main event . |

Wow, such a unique and original post! I've never heard of or seen this tactic before. Are you that scared of pussy that you climbed out a cesarean? Sorry I, myself, had an opinion that it was awesome.
