On paper I don't think it's half as bad as people make out. Night 2 in particular has the potential to be pretty special. The 2 mid card title matches could be great, Sami/KO always deliver, Auska/Ripley will be awesome if they're allowed to just go for it. Topped off with a proper Mania main event with the triple threat.
People have been wanting a Mania without a bunch of part timers for years now, and now we have one we have the inevitable "poor card" complaints.
The build on the other hand has been terrible, but that's a totally different conversation...

Absolutely zero interest in anything on the card. I'll always prefer older wrestling to the current but this is the pits for me and never thought I'd be at this point. The main matches don't interest me and most of the rest of the card is thrown together just for the sake of it. It will be overproduced like it always is but the only wildcard is the fans - will they cheer for what they like and boo what they dont even if it doesn't match with the wwe pushes (mcintyre may get shock if they feel he's getting a roman push) or just cheer for it all cause they are there in person again. We know the stars can put on good matches but it needs something that leaves a mark and is talked about years from now and the only thing i can see at the moment it will be remembered for is that's its the first big live event with fans Either way I can pretty much say apart from reading the results I'll be missing it this year.

There's no match at Wrestlemania I'm excited to even see. This year might be really lack luster

Honestly think they've been lack luster since 31.The last five years have been extremely forgettable for me baring a match or two like the Bone Yard,Triple H/Batista and Styles bouts with Shane & Jericho.Besides that nothing really stood out.

The booking is so lazy they did the same crappy “opponents forced to tag together and one turns on the other” story with both Sasha/Bianca and Ripley/Asuka...they legit either think fans are too stupid to remember what happened 4 days earlier, or they are this complacent with the guaranteed money coming in that they’ll just book the same exact story for multiple feuds.
Bayley not having a match is a travesty as well.

This Wrestlemania is probably the weakest in recent memory.

As much as we complain that Wrestlemania is always devoted towards the part timers, this year's is easily the worst Card I've seen in my lifetime since watching Wrestling from 1998. There's absolutely zero attraction going into this. The Triple Threat for the Universal Championship should be a good Match, but it really isn't anything that would look out of place on any other PPV. It could really have done with a Triple H vs AJ Styles or something, just to add at least one big grudge Match. Even Randy Orton vs The Fiend, is more or less going to be a squash, with the only real intrigue probably around The Fiend's entrance itself. Could not care for Lashley vs McIntyre. Lesnar should really have been in this one, if they were ever going to get him on a Mania.

For me personally, I am most accepting of Saturday night's card. I am a fan of Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, The Miz, and Braun Strowman, so to know all there matches take place that night is great to me!
I have zero interest for any of the matches on Sunday.
I used to be such a huge Edge fan from 2002 - 2011 when he retired. That was then, and this is now. Edge doesn't need to be in the this match, and the match didn't have to be a carbon copy story line of Wrestlemania XXX with Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista. Only this year we get Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns vs. Edge.
I get that Vince wants to make this Wrestlemania seem special for the fans and have the fans cheer as loud as they can since it's the first live event in over a year. With that being said, I believe Vince feels if Daniel Bryan wins the Universal Title on Sunday night (making Edge tap out I bet) then the fans will all chant, "YES!" and that is how Wrestlemania is going to end.
I am legit looking more forward to watching Austin/Jericho on the WWE Network (that's right, in Canada it's still the WWE Network for us) while before hand I will be playing vinyl records with my girlfriend, drinking some Mott's Clamato Caesar drinks and watching the Sunday Wrestlemania without sound. Drinking may be the only way I can get through that night for the lackluster matches that they have on.
