Alright, so what's the verdict on this year's Wrestlemania? I ask because I'm honestly not even sure myself. The Rousey match actually impressed me, she looked pretty comfortable out there at times. Taker/Cena, I can't tell if I'm happy Undertaker was so over, or sad that all the suspense led to so little. Shinsuke/Styles kind of fell flat to me, and the heel turn, though surprising, I just wasn't feeling. I hate Roman, but I wish he had won because I'm tired of a part time Universal Champion. And Braun...what the...how the...what's going on!? So yeah...I'm just wondering how you all are feeling after WWE looked at all the rumors and subsequently made sure every match went the complete opposite of what was expected (for the most part).

I really enjoyed 85 percent of it.
Triple threat ic was a great opener. Wish Finn would have one but I would of been pleased with any of the 3 walking out victorious.
Charlotte Auska was a classic. With a great shocker of Auska tapping and ending her streak. Imo the right move. Charlotte is the best woman's wrestler alive imo.
The mixed tag surprised me the most. Thought it would be garbage ended up being very entertaining!
U.s. title wasnt bad til the end anyone but jindr.
Happy for Nia. Was kinda dull but not bad match.
Smackdown tag was decent.
The whole undertaker thing had me on the fence. Happy to see him back and looking agile and healthy. Wished to see a classic as we've wanted this match for years. But I'd rather see a squash where taker looked great then a long drawn out match that showed his age.
Daniel Bryan looked fantastic and enjoyed the match.
Aj and shinskae was ok. Expected this classic but didn't deliver. Hopefully their rematch will be better. Once again shocked with the turn. Overall decent..
The only matches I didn't care for were raw tag and universal.
Raw tag was boring and a stupid angle. Specially since I wanted the return of Neville to be his partner.
Universal was boring and dull. Wasnt til Roman got busted open that I was even interested. Very suprised by brock winning. I don't hate Roman and wanted it off brock since he's never around. But also happy it wasnt a superman story ending its so over done. Hopefully Finn gets to take it off brock.
Over all if you take the last two matches off the show it was a very good mania

I didn't get a chance to watch it, but from an outsiders perspective of just reading the results is what this will be I guess; please bear with me.
Anyone in the IC title match that came out with the victory was fine with me. From the shows I watch every now and then on Raw I always love listening to The Miz but Seth and Finn are fantastic and are the future/present so best to build their resumes.
I've never actually watched Asuka wrestle, but I will take everyone's word for it that it was an amazing match.
Mixed tag match was kind of predictable that Ronda and Kurt were gonna win.
I'm with Nick on this one, anyone besides Jinder could have won the U.S title and I would have been fine. Orton is fine to put people over without a title, but they need to do something with Rusev and I'd really like to see Roode coming up into the main event sometime soon.
I'm glad what WWE did with the Raw Women's title match. It definitely was used to highlight a bigger positive message rather than I feel for it to be an entertaining match. Obviously, if it was an entertaining match that would have made it a lot better, but the message I think was the key.
Happy to see someone other than the New Day and the Usos running the tag division.
Saving the Undertaker thing for last.
Glad Daniel Bryan is back, hoping they do something good with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens now.
Very interested to see what they do with the Nakamura heel turn, but IMO I am glad to have Aj Styles still as WWE champion. I really want him to hold that title for a long long time.
They ruined Braun Strowman by having him pick a child from the audience. Feel like they're trying to market him like a friendly giant but at the same time a monster among men. They need to pick now before they ruin it anymore.
VERY VERY shocked that Brock is still the Universal champion. If they do a rematch with him and Roman I'm gonna be pissed. Please stop fucking shoving Roman Reigns down our throat. I don't care for him, I really don't. I haven't paid as much attention to him specifically for the reason that I really just don't like him. Is he heel or face right now? If he's heel right now he might get my vote but since he's going against Brock I figured it was the a hero will be a hero and redeem themselves angle or whatever they're doing with Roman. Just please stop marketing him to be the next John Cena, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, etc. He doesn't have the personality to be the face, flat out.
I really hope that now that Hardy and Bray are kind of in an allegiance it seems like that they're thrust into tag team action. What do you do when Jeff comes back? (Which I've read is pretty soon.) Please don't make a Woken Family stable, I'll literally claw my fucking eyes out. Don't put two vets who can hack it in the upper card and main event really with a man who literally had the entire WWE in the palm of his hand and throw them into one stable. I really want the Woken character to get over with WWE and see the success Hardy had in TNA with it. I want Bray to be rehashed and just be better. I also am a huge fan of Jeff Hardy so I'm biased when I say I want him to have a REAL world title run.
As for Undertaker and Cena, if they don't re-do this match properly I'm going to be partially pissed but mostly disappointed. I'm glad Taker looked as good as he did, but can someone explain to me John Cena's purpose in WWE anymore. Aside from maybe breaking Ric Flair's record for world title reigns, putting people over (which we all know doesn't happen), and this match with Taker, what purpose does Cena really have left in WWE? Make a wish foundation I know is huge for him, yeah he could win the IC title so he can actually win EVERYTHING the company has to offer, but like really, they've had so many possibilities with Cena to do something, they had multiple chances to do Taker vs Cena at WM and not make it a squash match. I don't know, I'm just confused with Cena's use in the WWE. I know he's one of there most marketable people, but it's just painful watching him right now.

Wrestlemania was actually very good this year and I enjoyed watching it. I love the shockwave they continuously put us through on more than one occasion.
Loved that Charlotte ended Asuka's streak. Triple threat match was great and I'm glad Seth is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Ronda was unbelievable in that match and I'm glad Kurt Angle looked head and shoulders better than the version of him that showed up to Survivor Series last year. Stephanie and Triple H are fucking awesome and just great at what they do. Didn't care for the Uso's losing the tag gold to Harper and Rowen and whatever stupid name they're going by now. The whole Braun Strowman thing was stupid. They could easily have given him both tag belts and continue to build him up heading into Summerslam. Cena and Taker was cool to a point and I'm glad the Undertaker is actually in decent shape this year. I dunno, but the whole Cena looking terrified towards Taker didn't feel right to me but it's whatever. Glad they finally put the belt on Nia Jax because she deserves it. I'm also glad they didn't just have her destroy Alexa but allow Alexa to hold her own for a good portion of the match. Didn't expect Brock to retain the Universal Championship against Roman. I know Brock is eventually going back to UFC and this whole re-signing with WWE thing is more than likely a work. Brock is required to spend six months in the national doping testing pool before being able to fight again. The sooner he's gone from the WWE the better off they will be.

Following last night's Raw, I am even more disappointed in the Braun Strowman/Nicholas angle. It was kind of funny, and certainly unique, but all that just for him to give up the belts the next night? I would have rather him won them by himself.

I was hoping that a.o.p. was gonna be in the mini tag tournament. I could of ignored it all for revival vs a.o.p. finals with a.o.p. winning the tag belts. But the hardy/wyatt team... As entertaining as they are there are so many other teams that deserve the titles. I'm hoping the club gets traded to smackdown and can take the tag titles there. The club and revival deserve the belts.

The club and revival deserve the belts. AJ Styles was rumored to head to Raw after Shinsuke beat him at Wrestlemania and Seth Rollins was projected to go to Smackdown to be their top guy. Seth can still end up on Smackdown but then you could have to send Brock to Smackdown, which is something I can't see happening. I would love AJ, Finn, and the Club all together again.
How cool would it be to send Braun over to Smackdown and have him and AJ for the WWE Championship at Summerslam? David vs Goliath in the flesh.
