Every match was good. Which is in itself is the problem, nothing stood out except one spot where Shane crashed a table, but I expected that particular match to last longer than it did.

The matches themselves were really good. I enjoyed most of the show. The downfall to me were who ended up winning and the pointless cameos. But as that would have bothered me the last two years, it didn't this year. I am putting less and less investment into who wins and loses as long as I get good matches. Would I love to see the guys I support get the push? Yes, but I watch wrestling for the matches and if everyone seems to be putting in the effort, it isn't like I can hate them.

Zack Ryder has been one of my favorites pretty much since ECW, and who can blame me that I considered his ship sailed? So that was a big wonderful moment for Teo despite everything wrong with the timing/buildup (swerve for swerves sake?)
Kalisto won but they dragged him to the preshow, which is pretty goofy way to book a title match at mania, but what are you going to do?
Sasha vs Becky vs charlotte was the best women's match we've seen in a while on PPV, and the New design on the People's, Er, women's belt is amazing. I've always liked white straps, dunno why. It's such a refreshing thing to see them recognize that women are more than looks, and hope this trend continues.
Shane is officially a crazy person, and he put on one of the most watchable matches of the night. Call it botchy if you want, but it was such a beautiful train wreck lol.
And Roman HHH was doomed on arrival, but I mean, at least they made a spectacle out of the whole thing. It is funny the crowd cheered Steph getting speared lol.
There were the bad moments though, don't get me wrong. There was the utter burial of the Wyatts, the Rock with a random Flamethrower, Dean using a chainsaw, Shaq, Jericho going over AJ, the New Day losing to a team who has a member that's leaving soon...
But honestly, those moments are just so typical lately that it didn't really hurt the show for me. I've kind of gotten numb to being outraged at every little thing, so instead I try to smile when someone I like gets a title out of nowhere. You gotta find that excitement somehow.

WWECW is what I meant! With that big stupid silver belt that I actually have a plastic replica of. Him and Christian had probably the best main event in that show's run.

Don't ever confuse WWECW with ECW. Ever.

I liked it. Minus some slow spots, I thought the matches were good and most of it was unpredictable. AJ Styles is clearly gonna be a main event guy, one loss to Jericho like that isn't going to ruin him. Ryder...well good for him he has given enough to be given a chance like that. I hope he does big things. I enjoyed it more than most of the shows I have seen recently.

People will remember WM32 for the Women's Championship match like they remember WM3 for Savage/Steamboat and WM13 for Hart/Austin.

I really enjoyed the whole show. The main event was my only complaint.

As I thought, the consensus is that the show was decent to pretty bad!
I was holding out hope for some major angle on RAW, which of course didn't really happen. I mean, the new #1 contender is exciting but there's no reason to believe he will do anything except make Roman look strong.
I think this will be a theme over the next year. Give Roman good opponents to shut up IWC and carry him through his title defenses. Awesome stuff.

This will never been anyone's favorite Wrestlemania but I feel like it was much more significant than it's getting credit for at the moment.
-It wasn't NXT, but NXT was certainly part of the "event" of Wrestlemania -AJ Styles' WM debut -Women's Title return and a significant rebranding going forward -Like it or not, Roman is going to be a top tier guy going forward also, and no matter how his career goes.. this was a significant part of it. Felt more historic overall than his Lesnar match ending in a screwjob -First Mania with Cena as a sideshow rather than an actual attraction
If it wasn't for Roman, this event would be seen as a sea change for WWE. Unfortunately, he's overshadowing everything. It's kind of sad just how much the product would improve by shifting someone else to his spot.

and most of it was unpredictable. Kalisto won. Bella won. USO's won. Undertaker won. League of Nations won. (Was clear as fuck after they announced it wasn't for the titles?) Rock won.. in 6 seconds. Brock won. Roman won. y2AJ, ANDRE and IC Title maybe? That's not most. If you thought that shit was unpredictable, you're pretty crazy, or you're pretty fucking crazy.

>HHH in main event. >HBK, Stone Cold & Foley destroy 4 midcarders and ex-World Champions. >Rock destroys an entire stable in 15 minutes, and then in a six second match. >Jericho goes over. >Undertaker goes over. >Shane was in a co-main event. >Brock goes over.
