You seriously gave that Miz/Shane match ****1/4? A*** match, at best. Certainly wasn't better than HHH/Batista. Also, "Becky nearly died on that Spanish fly spot". Really? That's reaching - even for you. Her makeup was awful compared to usual. Did you see her photos with Almas at the HOF? She looked like a guy in drag Well, she looked fine tonight.

I really don't feel like going into a lot of detail but... Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins It was interesting. Say what you want about "curtain jerking" but the time to do something like that for a goddamn WORLD title was not at Wrestlemania. It was stupid, rushed, and cheapens the victory, cheapens Rollins, cheapens the Rumble win...crap build to a crap match. But at LEAST they took the damn belt off Lesnar finally so maybe we can actually get some good storyline for it on RAW and I'm glad they did it for Rollins. Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston Everything about the build was fantastic. Who would have thought they could get the fans to care about Kofi as much as they do now? Brilliant job all around and Bryan is one of the best all time and its not even close. Again, just thrown in the middle of the show out of nowhere, its a shame really. I didn't like how they had the belt already made with the plates and the shirts, I thought it cheapened the moment. But I'm truly happy that Kofi is the WWE champ, I'm happy they didn't turn New Day on him and the match was fine. Told a good story, and the crowd helped it a lot. Plus I liked how Rowan/New Day didn't factor in every 2 minutes and just had ONE spot. It did what it was supposed to do and the end result is just awesome. Bobby Lashley vs Finn Balor We all knew what was going to happen, this was just about putting The Demon on Wrestlemania. I hate hot potato with the IC title. It was a nothing match with a couple of cool spots. Lashley/Lio has been one of the better things on RAW the last few months, I honestly don't know where they go from here. Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio We knew Rey was hurt, and Joe should be destroying people anyway. The Revival vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder Happy that Ryder & Hawkins got the win. Pretty cool for them even if it was on the pre show....but then again they would have only got 5 minutes on the main card so maybe it was better. Thought Hawkins looked horrible in his attire though. They will probably lose tomorrow night on RAW because god forbid this company does something with either of those guys, but whatever it was yet another "WRESTLEMANIA MOMENT!!!!" and thats all they care about doing anyway The Usos(c) vs Ricochet and Aleister Black vs The Bar vs Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev One of my favorite matches of the night to be honest. All the guys performed well, I loved how everyone was tagging each other. Cesaro continues to be amazing, Ricochet was incredible, Black is going to be a mega-star. Overall it was just good solid fun, and I was glad the Usos retained. Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin I'm torn, the match was fine....about what I expected. Angle got to hit his crap, and he "put over" the next guy. I don't get the legitimate hate for Corbin and I was actually pissed off they half assed his entrance and didn't even make it seem like you should even care he was there.....and then he wins. Just really weird, and if anyone didn't need to "go out on his back" it was Angle....but whatever, We'll see him on RAW tomorrow anyway Batista vs Triple H Entrances were crazy, hated how HHH's theme didn't play through half of his. The match was good but sssssllllloooooowwwwwww....and the ending was a ing MESS. Like, you have sledgehammers all over the place, but then Flair comes from nowhere with no build or no hype and hands HHH a sledgehammer? wtf. It was a fine brawl type match, but it could have been cut down by like 10 minutes and still gotten the point across. Shane McMahon vs The Miz Way too long, but the end spot was cool. I like how they did the thing with Mizdad and it got Miz all fired up, the crowd was loving it. I'm actually super happy we got a Shane match where he DIDNT: 1) Jump off something high. 2)Hit the elbow drop through a table. 3) Hit the "coast 2 coast". I applaud their effort though they did some sick spots and the crowd was still into it. Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns Drew's entrance was everything. Roman winning was ing stupid...and his gear looked like complete ass....like, its Wrestlemania, the guy has some cool looking vests and stuff with the colored outlines...or whatever, but he comes out in a plain boring generic looking thing? Match was nothing to write home about but I understand given the fact he was out so long. I just didn't like that he comes back and we're right back to square 1.....ReignswinsLoL Randy Orton vs AJ Styles Very boring to me. Just both guys doing signature moves. I was super excited for this match given the build up and both guys involved but it was just a ing TV match. Nothing special or memorable. Not even a good story, and to be honest....AJ didn't need to win! Where do we go from here? There's nothing left. Like....this should have been the START of the feud. Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal This should have been the last one of these they ever do. Braun won, now we can all go home. Elias performs Loved every second of this. Beautifully done. Exactly what we needed. Honestly the show was fine. Not the worst show ever, but nowhere NEAR the best. I was really missing some exciting entrances though. It was like they gave everyone Pyro and that was enough. Hell they even stopped doing the digital graphic stuff like after the first hour! Half the entrances were guys already halfway down the ramp....it was just weird. But its all good, the WWE will tell us it was the greatest Wrestlemania of all time like they always do....and tomorrow night the crowd is gonna be nuts....and now we move on with a ton of new champions and maybe some new stories who knows.

This was a rough show. Weird finishes. Nothing felt like a WM classic. I was thinking about Angle/ Michaels from WM21 and how there was no title but is a classic to this day. I was thinking Styles/ Orton could be like that. Man was I wrong...

Overall: 10/10. You’ll probably scoff at this but I’m gonna say. This is the greatest WrestleMania of all time. There were a bunch of great matches and the only things that were okay at best like Corbin/Angle, were kept short. Kofi/Bryan is in the conversation for best Mania match ever. That is one of the better Mania main events ever. Miz and Shane killed it. HHH/Batista was nuts. AJ/Orton ruled. The Smackdown Tag Title match ruled. And they made almost every right booking decision. Seth. Finn. Iiconics. Becky. Kofi. WWE can miss when a show goes this long but they nailed the pacing and put on a classic. I can’t say enough about how great this show was. It was good, better than many recent WMs. But the show had the SNL goofs in a Battle Royal, several matches that were basically one sided squashes, and a very abrupt finish to the main event that soured what should have been a feel good go home moment. There wasn't a single match that came close to at least three if not four of the five matches from NXT TakeOver just two days ago. The best I could give for an overall rating is either 7 or 8 out of 10. I'd have to rewatch to see if the good was that much better than the bad. 10 out of 10 is really generous.

People get the match outcomes they wanted and still manage to find something to bitch about.
crap like this is why WWE doesn't listen to y'all. There's more salt in here than a lifetime supply of McDonald's fries.

Also love how people complained about Drew taking the L tonight like he's not taking the briefcase next month.
Y'all love working yourselves into a shoot, don't you?

This WrestleMania sucked, as was expected. Most of these matches easily could’ve taken place on RAW or SmackDown. Sudden finishes, squashes, nothing being built up and at no point did it feel like WrestleMania. Just awful.
The outcomes don’t matter, when the in-ring story telling is garbage.
I hate John Cena and I can honestly say... John Cena was the highlight of WrestleMania 35.

Just a few thoughts... The Brock vs Seth match was what it was. But thank God they took that title off of Lesnar, that’s all I wanted out of this match. Kofi winning the title will go down as one of the greatest Mania moments ever. Kurt losing to Corbin......I don’t even want to ing talk about it. And I knew... I just knew that they were going to screw up that finish in the main event. They needed to put Becky over definitively 110%. But they made her win in the cheapest lame ass way possible to protect Ronda and it totally ruined it for me. On top of that the match was nothing special and completely fell short of the mark.

I've been a WWE fan for 20 years now and this was one of the bigger let downs in terms of Wrestlemania's.Haven't felt like this after a Mania since 27.
To me the only worth while matches that lived up to the Wrestlemania stage where the WWE Title,Batista/Triple H & the Main Event.Everything else felt like and average match at best and matches just felt off in terms of the time they where given and the actual in ring work.Besides Batista,Becky,Bryan,Charlotte,KofiRonda & Triple H everyone else seemed to be phoning it in.
So besides those three matches only thing else I like was the throw back John Cena,really surprised that he didn't wrestle even a squash match.Also kind of shocked that Taker really didn't so up,since he didn't this year that should mean the end of him moving forward.
bty WWE really needs to scale back on Wrestlemania in terms of the length and the amount of matches.Wrestlemania should have a one hour pre show and the actual show be four to four in a half hours long with only 8 to 10 matches.

It’s funny that your only contribution to this thread is your thoughts on other people’s opinions and not your own on the show, how you gonna bitch about people bitching? 🤨 some people actually enjoyed the show, but you’re not gonna focus on that are you 🤷🏽♂️

It’s truly crazy to think that this was the first wrestlemania since WM X in 1994 to not feature either Kane or the Undertaker. 25 years...

Her makeup was awful compared to usual. Did you see her photos with Almas at the HOF? She looked like a guy in drag More often than not...she does look like a guy in drag. Like a lot. One of the more masculine women on the roster. Her and Shayna both.
