Loved every single minute of that. Night 1 was great, night 2 was something special.

The exact script as last year's. Except the two indie guys with indie ties who may very well "explore their options" at some points in their futures couldn't provide Cody with enough help, but two WWE lifers did. Subtext as subtle as a pimple on prom night.

Just got home from my 14th wrestling event since Wednesday evening with Raw still to come tomorrow. Tonight was truly something special, the crowd inside that building from the second you parked was all pretty much waiting for that main event. The story they told during that McIntyre/Seth match was something else. A+ story telling at mania tonight.

absolute masterful storytelling in that main event. 5 star match and one of the all time best Wrestlemania main events ever.
I'm beyond happy for Cody and really can't wait to see where things are gonna go from here

The main event would probably have been one of the greatest matches in mania history if they got Stone Cold instead of Taker, can you imagine rock beating Cody down and the glass broke in that spot.

I just read through all the complaints about Undertaker instead of Austin... guys.... First off....Undertaker didn't "replace" Austin, come on. Wrestlemania 33, Roman beat Undertaker in what was seemingly 'Taker's last match. He left his ing hat and gloves in the RING afterwards and it was the main event of the show. Implying that Roman retired Undertaker. That was basically the catalyst for the start of Roman as the tribal chief. Undertaker never got any measure of revenge for that, we all just moved on. Taker, Cena, Rollins and Jey were all MAJOR parts of Roman's story, whom he beat ALL of them in pretty big deal matches. Undertaker also has plenty of history with The Rock, the attitude era saw them face off a handful of times. The corporation/corporate ministry stuff, etc. Was it as "big" as Austin? no, but it's not like they never interacted or had matches. Rock during this build, also said something along the lines of he was on the board, and nobody in the back could stop him....Who is the one guy that's been known as the locker room leader? Undertaker. Not to mention the fact that it WASN'T Austin, made it an actual unpredicted surprise which is nearly impossible to do these days when everyone has a keyboard and an opinion. The pop he (Undertaker) got was ing MASSIVE, and the classic attitude era lights out/appear/lights out/disappear was perfection. You all just read stuff that said it should be Austin because omg glass shatters, stunners everywhere....but in the end you got worked, and they did something you DIDN'T expect, that was still awesome and took NOTHING away from Cody.

I loved Taker showing up. I wanted Austin but man, it was great to have Taker out there tonight.

That was a great ending. The first match and last match were just perfect examples of great big league wrestling. There’s nothing else like it in all of entertainment. Pure cinema...you'll never find entertainment like it anywhere.

Just got back. Night 2 instantly is the winner here
Shame we didnt get Austin but no complaints with Taker. That gong man the place exploded. Special moment for sure. Glad to be in attendance for the big title change. Overbooked but in the most perfect way. Crowd was into everything
Drew winning then losing the belt due to the cash in was also well done and real cool to see live. Loved it
Also dug the triple threat
Oh yeah Bubba as the ref in the street fight. Great stuff. Next to Taker my other big pop moment
So yeah night 2> night 1 all the way. Got a free cheesesteak as well in the parking lot prior to the show. Good all around day I'd say
