Bad is pushing it. The only thing really bad was the filler and most of the Sting HHH nonsense. At the same time not a lot of it was super amazing. So it was good, above average. Not as good as last year

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

HHH/Sting ending felt like the entire point was "Well, guess WWE was better after all. :smug: "
It absolutely was

and after Sting came out on Monday and went "this match isn't WWE vs WCW, that's a dumb idea" too

If it was hardway it was pretty much the greatest coincidence ever in a wrestling match

I'm having a hard time deciding if the Rusev/Cena match was better than Taker/Bray

In my mind easily, since Rusev was so effective with his story telling and heel work.

Also Bray/Taker didn't have a SPRINGBOARD STUNNER.

After the first cut Brock got on his cheek you can see a blade flop into the ring, I don't know how everyone missed that.

It really wasn't. Great main event, great opener, a whole lot of poo poo in the middle. The main event ending well doesn't suddenly make all the awful stuff good.

I didn't catch the first half of mania, but other than Orton/Rollins and Brock/Someonewhocares/Rollins, the rest of the matches were bleh. Taker/Bray was bland and sluggish with a bizarre tripping over stairs botch thing and Cena/Rusev was also sluggish with weird booking.
yeah this is all accurate. cena/rusev was a good match but nothing special, ajpaige/bellas was a passable divas match, hhh/sting was worthless garbage, taker/bray was a better match but still boring and worthless, the tag champ match was pretty good, intercontinental ladder match was an average wrestlemania ladder match.

this would have been a completely unremarkable wrestlemania if it weren't for that fantastic main event.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Well, as someone who decided to get the show an hour before it started and who Foochs very politely wished good luck in not feeling cheated I'll say that Wrestlemania... met my expectations? I wasn't exactly hyped but I knew there'd be people working their asses off, a couple of good matches, and some cool moments.

Cena/Rusev was pretty much perfectly done and a really good match. The ladder match was a good chaotic show and the right guy went over.

Sting/HHH didn't work for me at all and I think it was a giant joke. But that's what I expected so I'm at peace with it. Same with Taker/Wyatt.

Divas was ok, nothing special, nothing bad. I'm sure the Rousey segment was cooler on paper.

The main event was the one that kind of rose above a bit and surprised me a little. Its actually more or less what I expected. I figured there were better than 50/50 odds Rollins walks out of the show with the title given how bad Reigns' reactions were but they did a very good job booking that match to get there. Lesnar destroying Reigns 90% of the time didn't do Roman any favors but kept the crowd engaged and was fun to watch and Reigns' inevitable comeback spots where handled well with Brock cutting them off or then leading into the Rollins' cash in. Like I said, it didn't shock me but it was well done to get themselves out of the mess they had created with minimal damage. Reigns looked like a no talent chump with two moves but I suppose that's better than having the crowd loath him by making it an even match.

So yeah, that was ok. I got my $10 worth. I'm probably canceling the Network because I'm not that interested in watching Extreme Rules or whatever and the feed hosed up on me a bunch so I'm very annoyed by the quality of the Network. But I dropped $10 and I'm ok with how I spent it. And I'm a little impressed with how WWE handled a mess they made (even if its undercut by being unimpressed how they handled other situations).

That WM was not flawless: the Divas should have gotten another 4-5 minutes and not been such a Raw match; Bray-Undertaker should have been more eventful; Sting should have won; the HHH-Steph-Rock-Ronda segment could have been paced much better.

But I loving loved every second of that. Terminators, Asian STOMP, communist invasion, Ronda Rousey, the best possible result for the main event.
