I was so mad with the streak ending the way it did, but you can't deny that this was an unbelievable Wrestlemania. An emotional roller-coaster ride the likes of which we've never seen before.

Switched computers during the tag title match and didn't have any bad lagging for the rest of the night. I'm really surprised my old computer did a better job, but it was still good. Some of the camera work bugged me, but that's a different issue.
The show was mixed, but I'm mostly happy.
Opening match was excellent, as was the main event. while the latter had some slow spots, it all told a great story. Bryan triumphing at the end was a great way to finish the show.
I'm really sad about the streak ending. I knew he didn't have much longer left, but if they insisted on having him lose on the way out, they could have had him pass the torch to someone much better than Lesnar. A) He barely wrestles more than Taker, and B) He's lost most of the matches since coming back. It just didn't work for me. Only upside will be Heyman, and possibly taker, talking tomorrow night.
The finish to the battle royal was amazing. Cesaro is a beast. I wish they'd done entrances though. Even if not individual ones, it would have been nice to see everyone who was in it clearly. Also, moving the camera during Sheamus' clubs was awful.
Same problem on entrances for the Divas, but not as bad. Glad AJ kept the belt.
Shield dominating was an interesting choice, but I liked it.
Cena vs Wyatt was really good. I like the story the match told. I wish the ending had been a little more ambiguous, but I'm interested to see if the feud continues. Bray's entrance was nice.
The opening segment was also a lot of fun. As were the other legends cameos. I was really surprised to see Dangerous Danny Davis.
Overall, it was a really good show, I'm just highly deflated by the Taker loss. Even the Bryan win didn't make as excited as it should have.

Damn. I hope in some point in time we see a Wyatt vs Undertaker feud. Or Sting vs Wyatt feud.

This wasnt the best booked Mania, nor was it the worst. It wasnt the best worked Mania, nor was it the worst....However, it was by far the most emotional roller coaster of a Wrestlemania ever!

Fantastic show. I can't believe some are complaining about Bryan winning.
I still can't believe Taker lost. I wish the Shield would have had a longer match, and i really don't even mind that Bray lost because it was a great match.
Overall, what a show. Definitely the best mania of the last several years by far. Tonight's just a night to sit back and be a fan.
I'm very excited to see how this event changes the future of the WWE. This could be a night that we look back on in a few years and recognize as the start of a new era.

I thought Wrestlemania was amazing. Even the bad booking matches were entertaining besides the shield match otherwise it was awesome. However Undertaker should have went out undefeated and Bray shoulda won. In my opinion Wrestlmania was full of surprises and had me on the edge of my seat which is what wrestlemania is all about and so I don't get why ppl are saying it was bad.

I still say they should've had Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Bryan or Punk end the Streak. Then we could've had something to look forward to. Lesnar? Lesnar?!?!?

Phenomenal show.
Still getting over the shock of Taker losing. The one thing I never ever ever thought would happen.
But Bryan winning the opening match and the main event was amazing.
Cesaro eliminating Show.
Shield winning.
AJ retaining.
In the moment I wasn't ok with Cena winning but I've come around.
And a fun opening with Hulk, Austin and Rock.
One of the best WrestleManias in a long time.

Great show overall.
Austin/Rock/Hogan moment was great. I personally would have saved it for later in the night, but still great to see.
Needless to say I didn't see Taker losing to Lesnar of all people but I think it's time for Taker to hang em up. He looked old & winded the whole time and I think he knows it.
Triple H vs Bryan was easily the best match tonight. Went down as I hoped it would have. Clean, in the center of the ring.
I thought Wyatt needed the win more than Cena. Would have liked to see Bray win, but doesn't change my opinion on the PPV.
Shield match was short, but it needed to be. Would much rather have seen Wyatt's vs Shield at Mania instead.
Cesaro is legit and WWE obviously knows it.
Shame AJ has no real competition in the division. Match was okay for a filler.
Triple threat was very good. As I said earlier, WWE did everything they could to add that moment of doubt. Bryan's back was against the wall and he prevailed. No better story to be told.
Overall I'd give the PPV a solid A to A-.

Absolutely incredible show. Most genuinely entertained, shocked, and excited I've been about a show in such a long time. I feel like a kid again. As much as I hate promos on Pay-Per-View, especially Wrestlemania, the opening segment was great. Hogan doesn't do much for me, but seeing Austin and Rock together is always a treat, and seeing the three of them together was even cooler, even if it was just for a cheap pop. Excellent match between Bryan and Triple H. Stephanie is so great in her role and helped make that match fantastic. Loved the final few minutes in particular. The Shield/Authority was a strange match. Really would have liked to have seen it go longer, but evidently, they needed a whole lot of time for the big matches tonight, which I can't complain about. The Battle Royal was a pretty typical affair until it got deep in. Once we got down to the final 6-8, it got really fun. I was pulling hard for Dolph Ziggler, but Cesaro winning was an excellent surprise. So many great spots toward the end of that match. Couldn't help but feel bad for Christian, though. The guy went from potentially having a big match at Mania with Sheamus (which was overdone and killed on free TV), to competing in the battle royal, to being kept off the show due to injury. Really unfortunate. Cena/Wyatt was great. Loved the psychology, loved Cena's hesitation and Wyatt's many moments of quiet brilliance. Cena's victory was one of the few times I was upset during the show. I just don't see that it makes any sense. It kills Bray's momentum and does absolutely nothing to help to Cena. Lesnar/Taker was one of the most shocking things I've ever witnessed in 15 years as a fan. I was thinking throughout the early stages of the match that it was hard for me to get into it because the ending was such a foregone conclusion, and then, well, that happens. I've made my stance on the streak known in the past - it means very little to me, and while it's a cool little thing to hang a hat on, ultimately, I only want it to go how The Undertaker wants it go. It's his, and it's his right to do what he wants with it. He's earned the right to make whatever decision he'd like, and evidently, he chose to let it end. I'll respect that. Whether I understand why exactly it's Lesnar is irrelevant. It simply doesn't matter to me. The Undertaker wanted it that way, and The Undertaker earned the right to make that decision. Period. I was concerned, of course, that it would effectively kill the crowd going into such a huge main event moment, but it didn't. The Diva's match was a much needed break before we moved on. The Triple Threat match played out perfectly. The odds stacked entirely against Bryan. Triple H showing his lust for vengeance. Stephanie out for blood. All of it. Perfectly told story. 8 months of heartbreak all finally pay off with Batista's tap on the mat and we get, undoubtedly, one of the greatest moments in Wrestlemania history. Can't give this show enough praise. Absolutely loved it. Also, kudos to WWE for proving me completely wrong and running a tight, successful ship with the Network. Just fantastic. Thank you for taking your time to type this out, pretty much said everything I was going to say. Good pre-show, very good opener (arguably one of the greatest of all time), good squash match (honestly, I hated this match-up anyways..perfect time to have The Shield just destroy a group in a squasher), good battle royal with Cesaro making a name for himself, Wyatt/Cena should have gone the other way, but it was one of the greatest examples of A+ ring psychology, still mad that Bray won though. The Main Event was amazing, for a little while I felt deflated because of The Streak ending, but having HHH/Stephanie interfere got me all psyched up again, reminding me of the past 8 months. Arguably the greatest ending to a WM match of all time, up there with WM 20 for me. The Streak..my theory is that 1. Taker didn't want an up and comer or somebody like Cena to end it because that would put way too much pressure on them, and if Cena specifically ended the streak..they would have had to turn him heel because he'd get booed out of the house at every show, even by kids. Clearly the WWE does't want to turn Cena heel so there goes that.

Great Wrestlemania.
So glad to see Cesaro win.
Wyatt should've defeated Cena (only poor booking decision on the show)
Taker losing was absolutely shocking
Bryan finally got his big moment
Also, Steph's legs looked AMAZING. Anybody who makes a gif of her bending over outside the ring to help up referee Scott Armstrong during the main event will be my new favorite member.
