Man, all in all, I really enjoyed myself tonight.
Had fun texting Goldust throughout. Besides Braun/Goldberg, I thought every match was fun. The Boneyard match was so off the wall I loved it.
KO jumping off the logo was awesome!
Sami crying throughout the match was worth the price alone.

Well I'll say probably the worst Wrestlemania in history however for and angle that Taker/Styles stuff was highly entertaining,more of and angle to close a RAW or Smackdown and not Mania but pretty cool.Only thing that's going to be worth checking out again from the show tonight ever. All the matches besides Goldberg vs Strowman delivered. Just because it didn’t have a crowd, doesn’t mean it was a bad event. Wrestlemania 22 had a crowd but everything besides the main event sucked ass. The crowd makes mania enjoyable but it shouldn’t define if the event is good or not because the matches so far were. Hmm you you most have fallen asleep during the Edge/Foley match up at WM 22. |

Overall it was better than I expected
I’ll always be bitter about there being no crowd (mainly cause I had tickets)
I was disappointed with Becky/Shayna
Elias/Corbin was boring
Not happy about Braun winning. The match sucked and Strowman a piece of crap
But Owens/Rollins was good. Owens jumping off the sign was awesome
The ladder match was good for what it was and I really liked the ending
And I loved taker/AJ. The match was bad ass and I’m really excited to eventually get an elite of taker in that gear and I wouldn’t be against an AJ in jeans to go with it

Undertaker’s best attire since 2003.

Side bar if Taker wants to wrestle again next year for WM 37 who should he face,even with the cool angle tonight don't feel like he would want to retire in basically and angle and not really a match up.Just wondering if maybe they would bring back Kane or have him face a younger guy like Alister Black or maybe even Drew McIntrye.

I feel like that Taker/AJ “match” was much better than what they had originally intended it to be if Mania was gonna happen as planned in a stadium with fans. You work around Takers physical limitations and you throw a bunch of cool special effect and gaga in there and some how it worked. I dug it.

The event as a whole was so bad that I forgot that match took place during it Edge/Foley was MOTN and both world title matches where pretty good and the HBK/McMahon stuff was fun again for for and ass whopping and angle kind of like tonight's closing segment.The worst Mania in the last decade in a half is probably 27. |

All in all, the last month has been really rough. Mania took me out of that for a night, I ordered food, texted with my buddies and really just got away from everything for a few hours. First time I have done that in awhile.

I guess day one was okay but two big negatives for me:
- Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn could have had a great technical match but instead they followed the WWE formula for a whiny heel running from a fight he instigated. I love heel Zayn on the mic more than face Zayn, but I hate heel Zayn's matches. Absolutely hate them.
- AJ/Taker was different. If I was watching it as the climax to a SyFy channel movie I'd love it. As part of WM, I was less than thrilled. And just once would it kill the WWE to have one of their golden boys actually lose to a non-WWE product like AJ? I guess not since Taker only loses to Brock and Roman Reigns. Makes me happy that we will never see Sting vs Taker. Makes me happy Kenny Omega turned the WWE down. Makes me wish guys like Nakamura and Samoa Joe would go to AEW.
On the positive side, Rollins vs Owens was a show stealer. The running commentary from both wrestlers while they beat the hell out of each other was actually helped by the lack of a crowd to make noise. We could hear each and every line from them and it added so much to the match.

Nvm, you’re right lol I completely forget about that. Only semi redeeming quality was Orton vs Punk |

WM22 did have some great stuff. But I agree with the point that the lack of a crowd shouldn't take away from the performances we got tonight. Besides Goldberg and to a lesser extent Braun, I thought everyone delivered. Everyone seemed motivated and gave it their all. Was it perfect, no. But I enjoyed myself, and that's all I care about. Hope tomorrow is much of the same.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was no where near terrible, overall. The only honest duds from that night were Booker T & Sharmell vs. The Boogeyman, and the Playboy pillow fight match between Torrie and Candace. I felt bad for Booker T. He deserved way better than that trash, squash match. I’ll admit, him pushing his wife into the ring, and making her start the match first, was funny as hell, though. Coward... lol 🤣 |

Undertaker vs AJ was super cheesy. Imo, it could of done without Taker talking...

I will say I was hoping for a better entrance ramp. I was expecting a pirate ship or something along those lines.

This Mania has been awesome so far, much better than I expected. That boneyard match was awesome and different, though I expected Kane to appear and help Taker fight off the OC.
I loved the hybrid of biker/Phenom Taker, but I hope it's not permanent. He's been the Deadman for 27 years and that's how he should retire.
