WOAT ending. The only thing that could've saved the ending was the Rock hitting the Rock Bottom on Cena and saying, "Later bitch. I'll be out in Hollywood with the ladies, getting a tan, sipping on Ciroc while your divorced ass is getting booed in Arenas."

My dudes, let's all agree, that this ending was miserable and lets all move on and cope together.

Shit ending to a built up finish. It's not that Cena won, it's how they went about it. I was expecting, well, hoping, Rock, kicks out again, and Cena follows with a tonof punches, couple of AA's, and a pin. Idk,, didn't care for the ending.

Overall, it was a really well-wrestled Mania. One of the best in-ring Manias in years. But for whatever reason, it didn't feel like Mania. It had the huge set, and it had the celebrities and the live music, it had all the usual suspects in the big matches, but it just didn't have that biggest-night-of-the-year feel to it. When I wasn't busy cursing out AT&T for having to reset my modem four or five times during the course of the night, I was entertained by what I was watching, so I'm satisfied. I just wish WWE could figure out how to recapture the energy and enthusiasm they were showing two summers ago and make their big shows feel like a big deal again, rather than telling us they are.

I have to say, I actually enjoyed this WrestleMania, I think it was one of the better ones of the 2000s for sure, just my opinion though.

Thought this was one of the better Manias top to bottom. Really only checked out for one match, Ryback v. Henry. Just wished the end or aftermath of the main event was a little more creative and fresh rather than the dull "respect" angle.

I thought it was a pretty good Wrestlemania. Very great that they focused on the matches this year & had no backstage segments. The Diddy performance should have been before Cena/Rock. BTW, I'm surprised no one point out that Punk wore Taker's colors tonight

Not at all upset by the show. It was really quite good, and I was surprised that I enjoyed The Rock vs. John Cena the most. It feels like a reset by the WWE, and I'm quite interested to see who emerges as the next contender for the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship.

Worst Wrestlemania I have seen since I've been watching WWE. Shit build up and nothing memorable came of it. Very poor effort this year. It's like they just didn't bother trying this year because it was in New York and they just assumed it would sell itself. The only explanation I can come up with for such a weak build and show is that they're holding back for next year where they'll go all out.

I was very impressed by this years Mania, one of the best I've seen in awhile... I think it could've been improved felt like there was no big moment or surprise and they could've definitely pulled one off. And the ending was weak... something needed to happen with Cena. But overall a very good mania.

Cena and Rock took a page off the "End of an Era" playbook (what we saw last year...HBK, HHH and 'Taker embracing and all that). Cena vs Rock was the match everyone (ok, almost everyone) always wanted to see, and they had two go-arounds. What we saw at the end was their way of closing this chapter of their careers. People have to chill the fuck out. |

Good Mania overall. The matches ranged from decent to great and no real filler which is pretty odd for a WWE ppv. Punk-Taker was my match of the night while Cena-Rock's ending felt a bit anticlimactic but not as bad as most of his big matches for endings.
Biggest problem was up until Punk-Taker it didn't really feel like Mania with all the jobber-like entrances and lack of hype videos for the matches. Felt more like an episode of Raw since those matches got Raw recap/highlight type videos instead. Also didn't feel like the show was being rushed until it got to the Cena-Rock match which meant the 8-person tag was scrapped. The early matches were somewhat short but not rushed short while the later matches felt right and not dragging along for time. |

Delivered on what though? We had three extremely predictable main event matches, two of which were rematches. And then a very ordinary and meaningless undercard with very average build. There was nothing this year. Absolutely nothing.

This show badly needed Ziggler to cash in for a Wrestlemania moment. God knows why they didn't pull the trigger on that. Would have been perfect. They have banged on for years that the MITB holder can even cash in at Wrestlemania. This was the time.

Some of my random WrestleMania thoughts:
* It would have been pretty amazing if Big Show had ripped off Ambrose's vest and underneath Ambrose has written some sort of message like "Let's go to war" or something on his chest. Would have made Ambrose seem really unhinged and insane. * If I were a woman I'd want Del Rio to father my child. Such a handsome man. He and Swagger had a really good match. * Since Del Rio retained the World Title and there wasn't a cash-in, I'm sort of hoping that Extreme Rules has Del Rio defend against Orton, Sheamus & Show in a Fatal 4 Way. Del Rio retains there and then Dolph Ziggler cashes in. Payback is the next PPV and payback can be what Del Rio has in mind. Chicago is a pretty smart audience, so I'm sure they'd love to see Del Rio and Ziggler have a bit of a clinic. * Punk wearing Taker's colors was awesome. I can't wait to hear Punk talk about his loss on RAW. Where does he go from here? Does he now respect The Undertaker? Does respect segue into a possible face turn? Does he take time off to "find himself" after the loss? Really interested. Maybe Punk goes right back after John Cena. I will never complain about those two wrestling each other. * So Triple H gets to keep his career. That's a good thing, but again my big question is "Where to from here?" Does Triple H follow this into "one more run?" Maybe Triple H retires under his own power on RAW? The Shield attacking Triple H during an implied retirement speech would lead quite nicely to Triple H finding two guys to face them at Extreme Rules. * John Cena and The Rock had a nice torch-passing moment. I'm not sure where either man goes now, but I'm interested. Basically, I felt that WrestleMania was a good advertisement for RAW this week. |

If this was your thought process, then, you know. You were gonna come out disappointed no matter what. I chose to just watch the show and get into each match, and in my opinion, this WrestleMania delivered. |

wouldn't be surprised to see Dolph cash in on RAW. Or maybe that's just me hoping, that post Mania RAW crowd would blow the roof off if he did I think

Yeah, the PPV was predictable, but that's OK. They were all good booking decisions. The only one I would question is Ryback losing to Mark Henry. I wonder what casual fans think of The Shield managing to win at their first WrestleMania? Or Fandango beating Chris Jericho? The heroes Triple H, The Undertaker, Del Rio, Bryan, Kane and John Cena rewarded the fans for their faith. Having them crumble for no good reason would have surprised us, but wouldn't have been the correct story to tell.

At this point, I feel like Dolph should just save his cash-in until right before the next MitB show. They could spin an interesting story out of "time is running out."
