I kinda feel this Mania had the chance to be the start of something interesting, a move in a different direction but they didn't pull the trigger. Again.
The whole deal with Shane taking over, or with something interesting happening in the Main Event, but again nothing.
The Brock-Ambrose match should have been a Last Man Standing given the way it was built, Ambrose should have come just a little short and would have given him a boost even in a losing effort. Unfortunately, the Taker-Shane stuff ended up over shadowing.
Really disliked the stuff with the AE guys squashing the LON/Wyatt's. And then the next night on Raw we get the start of a programme between factions who got their asses handed to them. Great.
Raw felt really weird too. I was expecting a big shift in direction, but we got barely ready NXT guys being called up instead.
6/10
