Haven't enjoyed a full WWE show from start to finish for a long time till last night.
I was one of the few who thought the show would deliver in ring despite the build and that's what I was looking forward to.
I really enjoyed Sting vs HHH till the DX interference. After that it became a crazy train wreck spectacle but every Mania needs something like that.
If this is Stings last match and HHH is fighting Rock next year, HHH needed to win. All the other bullcrap and using the sledge to win let Sting lose gracefully.
Main event was amazing. Absolutely awesome.
So what do you guys think - is the mania main event or the Rumble title match better?

You're my least favorite kind of person Well as luck would have it, I couldn't give less of a about you. You responded didn't you... You're going to cancel the network because you didn't like the outcome of 2 matches...did you see them coming? No? Did you expect any of that? No? If you're willing to cancel the network because WWE actually caught us off guard for once, then you're not a person they're gonna miss having around. See ya

See ya I was actually going to cancel it regardless. I just got it for WM. 10 years ago I would subscribe all year round but it's not worth it to me with the current product. It was a tongue-in-cheek proclamation to the constant #cancelwwenetwork trend that follows every PPV. That being said, aside from Undertaker/Bray and the Rousey segment, I found the event to be really disappointing. The way they handled Sting was as egotistical as it was insulting. And the ending was one of the worst, copoout endings to what was an interesting match.

I thought the show was really good but I went in with very low expectations. The Orton Rollins match more than exceeded my expectations and the final match was just awesome. I wouldn't consider myself a huge Brock fan but I love watching him destroy Reigns.
Hhh/Sting was my lowlight of the night. I know it's fake but with how much WWE shoves the clique down our throats, it makes no sense to have NWO come out and back up Sting. I honestly expected them to turn on Sting as well and Booker T and a few other WCW guys would come out and help. I didn't really care about those two fighting anyways because prior to three months ago how many people ever said "I wish sting and hhh would have a match."?

But How on earth was the ending now to par? Regardless if you're a Rollins fan or not. The way it was done, and the fact that even after he cashed in, for the first time in forever, you had no idea who was walking out with the belt, which again hasn't happened in forever, you have to be lying to yourself to say that was not a special moment. Not to mention the #cancelwwenetwork hashtags poke mainly at the predictability of the content. I dare you to tell me you predicted that.

I am shocked that so many people liked Triple H/Sting. It made no ing sense and the fact that they put this "WWE vs. WCW" spin on it at the last moment for no reason other than to feed Vince's ego was just awful. Ignoring the handshake at the end, the match itself told a great story. Story telling sadly is something most people on here know nothing about. I thought Wyatt/Taker and the main event told good stories. Sting/Triple H just turned into run in after run in of guys who should be no where near the card for no reason. The feud had NOTHING to do with WWE vs. WCW.

It would of been cool too of had Booker T, DDP and another WCW alumnus, Luger maybe? to have done the run in instead.

Well, with how big of a deal that was made from it, it feels like it's been a while.

TBH I really didn't care about Bryan winning the IC title it should've been dean Ambrose he really needed that more than Bryan.

Have you seen Lex Luger lately? He's not looking so great. Now for Booker & DDP that would've been cool. The Sting/HHH match was pretty weak compared to other matches. To be honest I would've rathered had Sting face The Undertaker & had them ride out in style. Now that would've been excellent.

Not to mention the #cancelwwenetwork hashtags poke mainly at the predictability of the content. I dare you to tell me you predicted that. Okay, learn to read. Do you know what tongue-in-cheek means? Where did I say anything about me predicting anything. I was just poking fun at how blown up that trend was. But while we're on the subject, the predictability of the PPV was only part of the reason that trend started. It was a growing frustration with all the non-clean finishes to PPVs, Big Show being shoved down everyone's throats, etc etc. It all just culminated with the Royal Rumble. And I don't see why you're so butthurt that I didn't like the main event. I'm lying to myself? Don't tell me what to think. The ending was stupid. And you know what? I didn't know who was walking out with the belt even BEFORE that Rollins cashed in. Reigns kicking out after 3 F5s took every possibility off limits. They just happened to go with the lamest one. But if you liked it, that's fine. I'm not saying anyone is wrong for liking how it played out. Hell, from what I've seen, there are more people who liked the ending than not. But that doesn't mean I'm not entitled to hate it. As I said before, the only segments worth a damn this whole WM was Rousey and Undertaker. I would have thrown NWO in there but the that whole sequence was just insulting.

It's interesting that the opinion on Reigns seems to be dramatically changing, considering he didn't really do much of anything last night.
I don't say that in a negative way, though. He did exactly what he needed to do, and the match was awesome because of it. He sold one hell of a beatdown. Ultimately, I think this will do wonders for his career in the long run.
To me, though, he didn't "prove" anything last night in the way of in-ring ability. Last month's match with Bryan did that a whole lot more. This was a great showing for him, but ultimately, it's not the type of match he's likely to have again, because working Brock is entirely different than everyone else.

A lot of people that are saying Brock got busted open the hard way when his head hit the ring post are wrong. Brock obviously bladed a split second after he hit. Plus there's no way anyone can spill that much blood by bumping your head on the post without blading.

It was a very enjoyable show. Wouldn't say it was fantastic as some say. There were some real duds. - IC. Match: fun, great spots. Awfully booked ending. - Orton vs Rollins, match of the night. Fantastic stuff from both, they really gave it 100%. That final RKO was absolutely gorgeous. - sting vs HHH. Shocking. Okay so it was good for nostalgia and sting looked great BUT it became a crap show as soon as DX showed. Ending was atrocious. Seemed like Vince was stroking his ego and reminding himself that he won the war against wcw. LET IT GO. - Rusev vs Cena was great. Very fun match to see, I am becoming more and more of a Rusev as time goes on. BUT he just has to keep Lana. She makes this. Given the context of the match I am fine with Cena winning. Bray vs Taker. Awful. Taker looked like piss, the match was a dud and I felt really bad for Bray who not only carried the thing but didn't get the win he so sorely deserved and needed. - Brock vs Reigns was good. I loved seeing Brock destroy. Reigns was fine, but nothing to write home about. Lesnar didn't miss a beat and reinforced the fact that he NEEDS to stay! Rollins cash in, we all marked the out. Amazing ending and nice to see WWE pull off a swerve like that because I felt they'd forgotten how. I feel the ending is leaving people with a sweet taste, even though the WM was pretty standard overall. Enjoyable show. I subscribed to the network again and am keeping it!

Rarely post on here anymore However I felt the need to. Surely having the wwe champ pinned fair and square earlier on in the night doesn't make him look strong. After Orton beat him I was sure there was no way he was cashing in.
