If you're going for the nostalgia pop, don't do it at the expense of your only somewhat credible heels. Main event was unbearable. Women's match was great. Really disliked Flair being involved in the finish but it didn't detract that much from a stellar match. Match of the night easily. Battle royale was good for what it was. The Shaq thing was a nice spot and, aside from Sandow, didn't really detract from a lot of the spotlight on the actual wrestlers. The big guys were eliminated quick and other guys had their moments. DDP still looks great. Awesome to see Corbin get the win but Henry was the guy to win it IMO. Feel like that was a missed opportunity for him to get a swan song moment. I enjoyed Styles/Jericho even though we've seen this before. Solid match. I'm not as upset with the finish as some are. Let's be honest, Jericho has been putting guys over for years now, he was "due" for a win so I get why he wins. Styles is still fresh enough and over enough that this shouldn't hurt him too much going forward and can actually probably benefit him in the long run by putting a chip on his shoulder etc. Plus it gives Jericho some much-needed credibility as of late for whatever his next program is (assuming his program with Styles is over, which it may not be) Rock stuff was absolutely awful. Preshow stuff was better than I expected. IC ladder match was good. Ryder winning is a cool "feel-good" moment but seems poorly booked. Granted, if the plan was to have Neville win it then this is somewhat more justifiable (he's essentially taking his spot). I mean, it wasn't The Miz, so I'm okay with it. Overall..... eh. I'll give it a 5. Honestly, the length of the show is working against it here. You don't have a near-7 hour event that is that devoid of "big moments" like they did. If they condensed things down a bit then I'd be a little more forgiving. Especially contrasted to the 2-hour event Friday that IMO absolutely crushed this in every single way.

I give your review of Rasslemania a 4/7. TL;DR but the effort, oh the effort was there!
