My quick thoughts on Mania:
Pretty much like what others said, maybe C+ B range. I don't think it was superb, but wasn't horrible either.
-Styles/Shane was better than I thought and hands down made my MOTN after a second watch.
-Owens/Jericho should have had more impact and higher on the card.
-Glad Lesnar/Goldberg was longer than the previous match, that's about it.
-Roman/Taker honestly wasn't that bad outside of the 2 major botches.
-HHH/Rollins was a solid effort, nothing special, but nothing horrible
-Raw Women's match seemed more like a TV Raw match than a WM match.
-SD Women's match was crap. Honestly, WTF? They made so much progress with the women over the last 2 years and it had the looks of a Divas match from 5 yrs ago.
-Tag Ladder Match was pretty good. Nice return of the Hardys, though would have rather seen them return tonight or not win the match last night. I'm sure the latter was a stip in their new nice money contract.
-Orton/Wyatt was below average compared to what it could have been. Harper should have been added to it.
-Cena match was completely pointless after the hype. They should have kayfabe'd the whole thing. Had Nikki say no, turn on Cena, join a stable with Miz & Maryse, then have Nikki "realize her mistake" down the road and then do the marriage thing. This is wrestling guys, keep that personal life stuff out of the ring. Doesn't work these days.
-Battle Royal sucked. Don't do it anymore
-Ambrose/Corbin was flat for most, but completely surprise Ambrose retained.
-Cruisers was solid, but nothing I would say impressed me.
So like I said, okay, not great, not horrible. Much better than last year. I couldn't even remember the main event from last year. Had to look it up, that's how much of an impact it had on me.
