I went to Mania and the following nights Raw...awesome crowd both nights, they were really into it. I was worried about this WM....but this is the best WM in a couple years. I was at WM20 also, and this was far ahead of that one in terms of entertainment.

i don't understand how people are saying this is the best one in years

i really didn't feel the wrestlemania aura like i usually do, it just seemed like a normal ppv to me

I do have to say though that the Allstate Arena was small and didnt feel like a Wrestlemania type arena at all. Ill also say that it didnt really have that wrestlemania aura to it...regardless however, it was still a damn good ppv...especially live in person

Well, when you consider how bad the normal PPVs have been over the last year, the fact that Mania was good (even if it didn't "feel" like Mania) is a good step.

Well imo it felt like a wrestlemania.I'm amazed that to some people(gohan) it didn't.

Besides the MITB match, was there any interaction between brands at all? I thought they normally did that kind of stuff, even just for humour without leading into any angles down the line.

Booker interacted with Goldust, Snitsky, and Eugene before his match.

How appropriate... I was just about to post that I'd finally watched that segment and it was priceless. :rofl:
