Just read the results. Glad I didn't watch. They try and gear up the fans for a change with Shane and kill it. Why bother bringing him back at all. At this stage of his career Taker should be putting over everyone, losing doesn't hurt his character at all. They have a potential top baby face in Styles, and they have him lose to a part timer who may I remind everyone lost to FUCKING FANDANGO at WM years ago. They have a popular act with new day and they lose. People don't want face reigns as champ, They don't care. Imagine if Vince had stuck to his guns on the Rocky maivia character as long as he's stuck with this face Roman. We never would have got heel rock, arguable the greatest heel persona ever. Sometimes I think he's trying to make it so terrible so that when he finally steps down its in such terrible shape he could say that it can't be run properly without him.

Ugh, rant over.

Gonna also say everything felt phoned in. The only ones who actually tried were the first time Mania participants(excluding Styles but it's hard to be interesting against someone you faced so much), and Shane. People wonder why NXT is so good, they still have so much to prove. They want to get noticed, to get that call up.

6/10 is honestly being a little too generous, Mania is supposed to be the biggest show of them all. The one that we wait all year for, we should have good expectations no matter the card. And it was just sooooo boring. It might've been because it was six hours, it might've been because I am too tired, but it was a job to even try to get into it.

Two matches out of about nine were good, that's not good. This isn't due to one certain outcome or anything, it was due to the combination of the pacing for most of them, the lack of builds for a lot of them, and the action in between the ring.

Not to mention you had supposedly 101k people in attendance and their excitement was pretty minimal. Reigns winning the title didn't even garner any reaction, and in a case like that I'd say it's worse than being booed out of the arena.

I do think Vince is trying his hardest to NOT satisfy his die hard fans. Why? Idk. But I do find it hilarious.

I'm probably the minority who thinks Jericho winning was the right choice.

HELL
7/10

Pre show was alright. It served its purpose...

I really enjoyed the ladder match. It was some good action. Not a huge Ryder fan but I really liked that he won, it was a heart warming moment to see someone who is a total underdog and probably wasn't even supposed to originally be in the match (before Neville got injured) and win the damn thing in front of daddy. Plus KO vs Ryder feud will be fun.

Y2J vs Styles was solid. A lot of screaming and rolling around though. I'm not surprised Y2J won, I had a feeling it was gonna be similar to Sting last year.

LoN vs New Day was a drag. Austin, Foley, and HBK post match was worth it though.

Lesnar vs Ambrose was a huge disappointment in my opinion. It was alright, but they are 2 of the best guys on the roster and I thought the match was only half as good as the potential. They had a street fight but barely went out of the ring. I wish they would of had a brawl up the ramp and on the big stage. That would of been cool.

Charlotte vs Sasha vs Becky was actually really good, and I'm usually not a big fan of the women's matches. This was probably the best womens match I've seen on WWE. Wish the ending was different though and Sasha or Becky won.

Shane vs Taker was amazing, definitely stole the show. You could tell they gave it their all, especially Shane. That bump was intense, i had a feeling it was gonna go down. Knew Taker was gonna win too. Also LOL at the fact that no one interfered (fucking internet rumors man)

Battle Royal was goofy. Fucking Shaq was in it lol like wtf. It was strange. Interesting to see the push for Baron Corbin though. Its better that he won and not Strowman.

The Rock vs Erick Rowan = MOTY

Triple H vs Roman was as anti climatic and predictable as I thought it was gonna be. It was an alright match, but with the most unsurprising result. Roman spearing Stephanie was the best part. And lol @ Triple H's entrance. WWE is Illuminati and Wrestlemania is officially a satanic one world government global elite ritual.

Rated it 5/10, wasn't good.

IC Title Ladder Match ***: The spots weren't as I hoped but I was kinda happy to see Ryder win?
Styles-Jericho IV ***1/2: Not as I hoped to say the least
New Day-LON **: Trash
HBK, Stone Cold & Foley Segment ***1/2: Made me smile.
Womens title match ***1/2: Decent match despite the winner, ugly belt tho.
Brock-Ambrose ***: Decent match I suppose, didn't like Brock winning though
Shane-Taker **1/2: BORING, and what's the point of hyping up a change when it goes shits up?
ATGMBR *1/2: Dreadful battle royal, I LOVE battle royals but this was awful, nice to see Corbin win though
Rowan-Rock 1/2: Why.
Cena-Rock-Wyatts segment ****: Good segment.... :shovel:
HHH-Reigns ***: Bore fest to say the least, I don't MIND Reigns winning.

Overall this gets 6/10

The matches came out good, just almost everything finished badly

Total Divas vs. Bad and Blonde was the proper Brie Bella send off and it was a great move to start off with on the card. Eva barely did anything! Good! As for Lana. Now she is just an eye candy, but aye, let's make her an ass women eye candy amirite? What? We can't get real women's wrestlers and butt models?

I never payed attention to Usos and Dudleys

Zack Ryder winning the IC title was the biggest shocker, what I really hope is this is actually a quality comeback and not where he loses is immeditley, Zack looks like his persona is evolving into a great mid carder.

AJ Styles vs. Jericho was great but like many matches tonight ended weirdly... Jericho won? What? If they wanted big pops tonight for the huge 100,000 attendance then give it to AJ? We love Jericho but we are seeing AJ Styles at Mania!!! Give it to him!

The Women's Championship match was everything we wanted except the ending which is why everyone shit on it. Ric Flair assistance, really?! That's another voided pop.

The Street Fight was very disappointing, should of been longer, I knew dean couldn't really use the saw or bat but maybe he could've did something with it? Suplex counter tho >>>>

Taker vs. Shane happened like everyone thought, but no Vince Appearence? Taker just won? The match was obviously for Shane to jump off the Cell, and since that's the newer bigger cell it was higher than Foley's drop so bravo Shane for that. He ok. :)

Baron Corbin winning the Battle Royal? Yes please, good job there. Shaquille being in there was weird.

No musical performances! Well expect for Snoop but that was for Sasha Bank's entrance, which was on point.

John Cena and The Rock burying the Wyatts was questionable, but I guess it's cool to see Cena back like that. Maybe he should rest more because going that fast for an injury can cause bad implications still, Cena is still human.

Roman vs. Triple H was everything we expected, well the weird ass thing was someone teased no dq on some posters, the fuck was that? And Triple H had another crazy entrance where Stephanie became Alice Cooper. The dudes under the masks had to be NXT guys by the way. Roman of course got booed and won, many expected Seth to be there but he's still human, it's takes a while to recover from a torn ACL.

I still don't get why all these people ask why we hate Reigns, well he hasn't worked hard at all. He has had everything handed to him by Vince, no Indy background, no big past as a wrestler, just a football player who was very built. So we can't get behind someone who barely climbed a ladder.

Clapclapclapclapclap. Thank you women. Felt like this whole PPV was resting on you three and you delivered and then some. Really good match!!!

Given that the rest of this has been 3/10 worthy - the ladder match was fun at least and the winner was a nice surprise - any reason to keep going? Quitting while I'm ahead sounds good tbh

Based on the results I won't be watching anything more than the Shane O'Mac match I already watched.

You should watch the preshow just to see WWE fight Murphy's law. Apparently everything that could go wrong in regards to tech went wrong.

Power outage, which resulted in the gates not working properly, which also resulted in the ticket scanners not working and wifi being out in the stadium. WWE managed to fill the arena just in time for the main show to start but it was almost completely empty for most of the pre-show.

Eh. A few good matches, a couple disappointments and overall bad booking. I guess it was worth watching for free.
