This should probably be in the Q&A but I'm going to grant myself a pass based on Wrestlemania relevance...

What were the lengths of the matches last night? They're not on Wikipedia and I was just curious to see what they actually were. I don't pay much attention to that during the show since I'm just enjoying the whole thing.

Loved the show but 112 minutes of in ring action for a 240 minute PPV is just unexceptable.

That's roughly half a show of in ring action, pretty standard for WrestleMania, you're just looking for something to complain about.

It really felt like the Tag Title Match and the Mysterio/Punk match ended just as they were getting started. I enjoyed them, it just caught me off guard when they ended.

I started out by saying I loved the show. It's just 112 minutes in a 240 minute show isn't good no matter if its standard or not.

I can love a show and still have a problem with it...

The Bret Hart match went on too long.

I wish the Punk Rey match had about 3-4 more minutes

The tag match was way too short. But at least there wasn't 15 minutes of Kid Rock this year

Punk and Rey got hosed. The match was just getting going. They didn't give it enough time to build.

Tag match was to short, but it didn't bother me too much. Vince/Bret was about 5 minutes too long.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, Punk/Rey is the only one I had an issue with, hoping they have a longer match at Extreme Rules.

MITB also felt shorter than usual, but that might have just been because there weren't as many spots.</font>
