Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I wish LAW would stop calling it "strange" because they don't want to say "bad"

Stephanie looked gorgeous, so I suppose that was a highlight. Had to laugh at her in pain on the ground and barely managing to raise up a sledgehammer to HHH.
Women's match was best, surprised at the outcome since I doubt Sasha would have it bagged (this coming from someone who wanted Becky to win). I can only guess that either Sasha or Becky feuds with Charlotte, and the other who doesn't feuds with Bayley who debuts on Raw given her loss at Takeover.

My big issues with the show were:
- Way too fucking long/bad pacing
- Didn't feel like the end of any feuds/storylines except maybe the big three matches (which was Ambrose not looking strong, match that shouldn't have happened, lol Reigns)
- Bad booking with who won/lost. Jericho beat Styles. League of Nations/New Day all got beat up like jobbers. Ambrose didn't put up a quarter of the fight Shane did against Taker against Lesnar. Sasha lost (probably to set up a 1 on 1 later). I actually liked Corbin winning the Battle Royal, but who knows where they go with that. Wyatts looked like geeks. Lol booo Reigns.
Agreed that the ladder match & women's title match were the legit matches on the show.
With understandable reasons. Look at NXT Takeover Dallas, which makes any person hopeful for a decent WM. However, this was sub-par.

That was a disaster in my eyes.
Charlotte winning leaves me shocked. I don't get it.
And why did all the old guys makes the young guys look so foolish?

I'm not even mad about that, it was a solid match. The rest of the talent getting buried is what left me puzzled.
I haven't really been following raw since last summer, used to follow wrestling religiously but stopped few years ago like back in 2009, only come back for mania and night after, anyway
I really liked the first part of the show.
enjoyed the ladder match, y2J vs Aj was good to, woman's match was surprisingly good.
the new day match was alright, not good but not that bad and the ending was cool with the legends coming down. A lot of these wrestler's I watched for the first time tonight which was pretty cool like all 3 woman wrestlers, sami zyan (?)
Taker vs shane started out really ..boring..during this match i had lots of stream hiccups, hiccups didn't stop until the part where they went outside the cell....that last few parts were good but even with the hiccups the first part felt boring....
after that I just really toned out of mania....the rest of the show felt soooo boring especially that battle royal. and the rock segment along with the final match where I was too busy looking at my phone. Show was really good ...but man it felt soo long, ..roman vs HHH was so boring. and i just wanted it to finish so i can go to sleep.

I am somewhat smugly happy that the women's match was the best match of the night. I mean, I know there was one match in competition, but still it's pretty great.

The problem was that the matches were bad or boring and nothing was really surprising other than the person who got pinned. That's not interesting.

I'm surprised people are shitting on the main event. It was exactly the kind of match you would expect between Roman Reigns and HHH, logically, it was paced correctly, HHH looked great throughout, Roman Reigns does a good babyface-in-peril despite the flaws of his character and booking outside the ring. Other than the very abrupt, slapped-together ending, it was shaping up to be a fine, fine match, not the best WM main event but better than plenty others.

Also why in the hell was the Battle Royal on second last (or third, if you count Rock's pitiful record-setter)? I thought all through it that there had to be something big but there wasn't, just fucking Shaq.

3.5/10
+ Zack Ryder winning
+ Ladder Match in general
+ Booty O's
+ Stephanie
+ Shane's spot
+ Battle Royal wasn't total shit
- Bad Endings: Women's Title, Street Fight, Tag Match
- Reigns/Hunter was awful
- Undertaker/Shane was awful
- - Jericho should not have won
The negatives are a lot bigger since the bad endings just continued to kill the crowd.

Booty-os entrance, Women's triple threat, and Shane's suicide dive was good too. Otherwise that's pretty much it for cool moments this year.
The women's triple threat match still wasn't exactly best ppv match ever, but it was literally the only one that felt like more than a normal raw match.

I think it was just the length of the show overall. After 2 hours of preshow and 4 hours of regular show, having a regular ass match in overtime is just pushing it.
trying to find crowd footage from the muted crowds during reigns/hhh

There you go, people. This is one of the people that belong to Vince's primary target market.

Ambrose and Triple H put on a better match than what happened tonight, and that was at a glorified house show.

I thought this was one poll they *couldn't* rig, but clearly Vince works in mysterious ways.
Vote with your wallet. Do the right thing.
They make the most money from live events tho right? Besides I like NXT so voting with my wallet doesn't really do much here because that would just make NXT bad.
one thing though. this mania felt really...less grand than the previous year 31,
not a lot of cool interesting entrances, no spectacles like last year where a lot of the wrestlers had cool stuff like russev with his tank, sting with the drum people, the terminator entrance, the bray wyatt zombie one etc. it was all cool and awesome.
this year hardly anyone got a cool entrance. the stage looked less impressive, it felt very less grand and like they had a budget

I'm literally watching the Nakamura match now and just his entrance has washed the bad taste of Wrestlemania out of my month.

Pumped Zack won, have to admit I thought the match would mostly be centered around Zayn and Owens. Now this gives the title to someone else and they can have a great feud to focus on now.
AJ and Jericho feud better be over. It's pitiful that they gave AJ terrible booking, with no build-up.

I think it stood out to me that they let the women do some pretty risky moves yet they make smaller guys drop their "high risk" finishers and moves for something safer.
