Can't say it was the best Wrestlemania I've watched, but I will say it ended up being a whole lot better than I thought it would be.

In the grand scheme of 31 events altogether, im not sure where exactly i would rank it. The fact that i can safely say its in the upper tier, or top 15, is more than i truly thought about it going in. But thats almost 100% due to the questionable build. The event itself delivered....even with some booking decisions that i found atrocious, the in ring was good all around. There were surprises and 98% of everything they did was entertaining. Hats off to all involved and lets just hope next year can be a good build to the event as well.

Only really good moment was the last 3 mins of Seth winning. IDK why people are saying this is top 5 or whatever. That PPV was on course of being one of the worst ever until Seth's cash in, which brings it up a few notches but i wouldnt even say this PPV was top 10. An over populated ladder match with a bunch of recycled spots that we've seen many times before. Only cool spot was Ziggler and Bryan headbutting the holy crap out of each other. Orton/Seth. Decent match that really served no purpose. Seth needed that win, but it made a cool RKO spot. Sting/HHH failed on so many levels. Clearly this match was made to stroke HHH's ego. The handshake made absolutely zero sense. Cena/Rusev wasn't as good as their Fastlane match. Typical Cenawinslol match. Divas match sucked The HHH/Steph/Rock/Rhonda segment went on WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long. Bray Wyatt/Taker was alright, They both seemed really off at times. I think its time for Taker to hang them up. This isn't the same Taker that had a string of some of the best matches on the card a few years ago. Brock/Reigns: Brock slaughtering Reigns was amazing. There was really no real winner here until Seth's cash in since Brock wouldve been gone until SS and Reigns shouldnt be anywhere near the title right now. So i'm not sure where people are getting all this "top 5" stuff from. Absolutely spot on

Good, but doesn't even crack the top ten.

Here's my breakdown:
The ladder match was decent, fun but not great. Glad Bryan won if he was gonna be in it but he shouldn't have been in it. Rollins/Orton was good, but nothing special. Their match on Raw a few months ago was better imo, though that RKO finish was pretty spectacular. Triple H vs Sting.. Just.. so bad. Sting looked phenomenal but I'm not sure why he had a Japanese themed entrance other than maybe it looked cool? Triple H's entrance was pretty epic. The match was going well, and DX interference was cool. The nWo thing made absolutely zero sense. Why would nWo help Sting? Why would Hall and Nash fight against HHH and HBK? It was cool to see nWo vs DX but totally took me out of it because it made no sense.Then Sting shakes HHH's hand for some stupid reason, then HHH makes fun of Sting later on... So stupid. Paige/AJ vs The Twins, was what it was. Nothing much to see here. Cena vs Rusev was alright but Fast Lane was better. It's nice to see the US Title on Cena, but considering it likely won't last it doesn't really mean much. I loved the Rousey segment for some reason, but it went way too long before Ronda actually got involved. Wyatt vs Taker seemed kinda pointless. Taker looked good and it was a good match, I just fail to see the point. Maybe if Taker is gonna stick around for a month or two and put Wyatt over then it'll make sense but I just don't see it. Roman vs Brock was good, exclusively because Brock kicked the dogcrap out of Reigns, but Roman should not have kicked out of 3 F5's. Rollins cashing in was awesome though. I'm glad Reigns got pinned because it leaves Brock still as the unbeatable beast, Rollins as champ, and Roman as not the champ.
It be show lacked any 4-5 star matches and a good portion of it lacked any sense but it was enjoyable for the most part. Not sure why people are ranking it so high though, it had a great ending but was still lacking quite a bit.

A crap build up, but dare I say probably the best Wrestlemania I've ever watched? Personal favourites of mine are XIX, XX, XXIX, but this one was just insane. So much so I had to watch it again. Just so pumped for RAW tonight!

Id say its one of the best of the past 10 years, Id have to go through and rewatch the last 10 years to get an accurate judgement on the others though. Its not anywhere near as good as some of the older ones though. Id say its in the solid 10-15 range

It ranks in my top 3.
It was awesome. Completely didn't expect anything other than Sting vs HHH being that good. Boy was I wrong, and I'm so glad I was. Trips winning was stupid, didn't make sense, and John Cena winning I don't think will serve Rusev well. But all the matches delivered, had great shockers and moments and was beautifully executed.
A little too many German Suplexes and one F5 too many for Reigns to kick out of being believable, but the ending was priceless.
I'm happy.

Rewatched it today and it's not that good. Only 3 good matches: Ladder, Orton and Main Event. Otherwise it's super weak and hard to watch.

I know I'm in the minority on this from what I've seen others say, but I really loved Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt. Both gave tremendous performances and delivered. Not upset with the result of it all. ***3/4 is what I would have given it.

Ari Shaffir once told me, "Why compare them? Comparison is the thief of joy. Just like them all. You don't need one to be better than the other."
I love that advice.

It's in the top 5. It probably would've been top 3 had Sting won the match (and a young, upcomer winning the Battle Royal).

I gave it a 3.5/10 and would put it in the bottom 10. It certainly wasn't as bad as 9 or 27, but it's another disposable WM.

I only just got through watching it, managed to stay off the Internet 'till now and avoid any spoilers which I was very happy with.
Thought it was a great show. Sting / HHH was bags of fun, Brock vs Lesnar was a great match with a surprising ending, Orton vs Seth delivered, the ladder match was a fun opener, BRET HART GETTING A HUGELY DESERVED POP, the Ronda bit with Rock was fantastic.
Brilliant!
