Wrestlemania reminded me of Batman v Superman, it wasn't amazing, but it wasn't absolutely horrid. It was okay, given the circumstances. Great matches with some questionable booking decisions, but I'd say around 6 or 6.5 out of 10.

Did Roman's spear on Stephanie also weird anyone else out?
Usually when that kind of stuff happens to someone, they lose (like Big Show vs Bryan when he decks out AJ)
I could see if he speared Stephanie and HHH got so mad he beat the crap out of Reigns and won. I could also see Reigns avoiding Triple H, causing Trips to crash into Steph, and then Reigns would win.
But it was kinda just like Reigns speared a girl, then won and expected people to cheer. Like?

4/10
there was only a few positives IMO: Ryder Winning the IC title, even though i was adamant it was going to be Sami's night Shane jumping off the cell The women's championship match itself, not the result. And of course Austin/HBK/Foley was cool
The rest was a shambles and it really was a Vince McMahon Ego gone wild type of wrestlemania. It was also just short of 7 hours long, my god did it feel like it too.

I'm voting a 5 and that's being generous. tbh, I feel like wrestlemania just gets worse every year. The only really entertaining moments for me were the returns of guys like rock, Austin, Foley and HBK. The Shane and taker match was ok as was Brock and Ambrose, main event was trash.

Reviews
Ladder Match: Beautifully booked. I enjoyed the continuing feud between Owens and Sami that was built up during the match (clearly another match sometime in the future between the two). I think the title on Ryder is somewhat confusing, because Dolph deserves it, but I'm not going to complain, Ryder is an amazing athlete, and I cant wait to see what they do with him.
Jericho/Styles: A ok match. Jericho comes out with the win for a great reason, and that's because a extreme rules match is probably set between the two, next month. I think Styles will end up coming out the "winner" with this fued, but the time and place wasn't Mania. Remember WWE is still trying to sell the whole "Styles is a rookie" story.
Nations vs. New Day: Terribly booked. New Day was up and over and needed the win. The LADS clearly aren't going to be around much longer, so why give them the win? I think WWE missed a big chance w/ New Day, but I think they made New Day lose, so they could squeeze in HBK, SCSA, and Foley to the rescue. Other than a very confusing booked match, the New Day's entrance was amazing.
Lesnar/Ambrose: I'm Happy. The match was kinda short, but I'm a HUGE Lesnar fan, so I was happy.
Diva's 3-Way (Haha): Beautifully booked. The most entertaining regular match of the night, note I said regular, not Hell In A Cell. These three ladys proved why their faces where on the side of Jerry's World. Even tho I was pulling for The Boss all the way, I was happy with the end. The match was just brilliant. Of course, there is much more to go with the new Women's Divison (Watch RAW Tonight), so I think The Boss will end up coming away w/ the belt in a much more recognized and poluar way in the future (Probably 1-2 months).
Hell In A Cell: A ok match. Other than Shane's crazy a*s jump from the cell, I wasn't that happy with this match. I was expecting Shane to win and we get a year long McMahon vs. McMahon storyline, but that didn't happen. Undertaker looked good tho, healthiest he's been in a while.
Battle Royal: Terribly booked. Watching paint dry would have been more entertaining.
The Rock Segment: See Battle Royal:
Reigns/HHH: See Battle Royal:

Gave it a 6 because the overall show could have been a 7 or 8 if you stopped watching after The Rock's segment but the battle royal was hot garbage wasting away in the middle of the California freeway, I really didn't like it. Plus a Wrestlemania is only as good as it's main event, and a good main event it was not. Solid wrestling some interesting spots such as Steph taking a spear and the Spear through the barricade. But nothing that amazing, and it was predictable as all hell! Seriously Vince?! no swerve no fake out no shocking us when all seemed lost. By the time the match was halfway done they had convinced me that Trips was gonna get DQ'd or counted out, which in all honesty I would've been fine with! After all since Shane didn't win so the Authority would still be reigning anyway. So yeah 6/10 certainly not the worst every but not even close to call it "great". As it stand right now the RAW after 'Mania better be damn good because after 2 straight years of them almost ing up 'Mania and then calling an audible to fix it they finally did it, they finally ed up Wrestlemania.

6/10 Liked it, didn't love it. Had the show been its usual 4 hours, I'd probably give it a 8 based on the match quality. Way too much extra crap. Didn't need 2 segments with Legends crapping on current talent. At least Austin gave Rusev some offense before stomping a mudhole in him.
HBK being in his wrestling gear completely took me out of the show for a bit: How did he know that the LoN would issue a challenge after beating New Day? And that he'd have help? Oh yeah, it's in the script. Minor nit, maybe, but I hate being reminded that it's "just a show" while I'm watching it.
I understand the need for video packages before matches at Wrestlemania, but they needed to be way shorter. Loved the Women's Title match, and pretty much all the other matches were at least decent-good. Main event was definitely too long, especially after an already too long show. Crowd seemed pretty bored of booing Reigns halfway through the match. It's a chore getting through a 3+ hr Raw (usually have to catch the final hour or so on the DVR the next morning), and this felt like WM IV all over again. Too much bloat.

HBK, Orton, Reigns, Jomo, Rollins, Triple H, Neville, Test, Rollins and Warrior are some of the best

I say 10, it had great moments, good quality wrestling matches especially Styles v AJ, good storylines and memorable match moments. The only Mania could of sacked is if HHH and Undertaker won because nothing would change and now although we don't have Shane in charge, the Roman Empire has rised and now we're seeing a new side to Reigns hopefully a heel turn, the boos weren't that bad at Mania watching it at home and people were cheering aswell as booing I think the people who boo are louder.

It was ok. Better than I had expected it to be. But nowhere as good as it was last year. The poor booking was clearly evident throughout all the matches. With only certain Wrestlemania moments that made it memorable such as Shane's dive from the top of the cell, Ryder surprisingly winning the IC title and Corbin's surprise victory in the battle royal. Ambrose losing to Lesnar hurts Ambrose even further. Is WWE not trying to give the man a push? After all the build up for that, only to go the obvious route and have him lose. I was expecting a good underdog victory for Ambrose, but that "street fight" overall, was just poor. The main event between Triple H and Roman Reigns was a snooze fest and went on for too long. Roman Reigns being booed right at the end when he won it just summed up Wrestlemania 32. If anything, it was the women's title match that stole the show. That was match of the night for me.
Lets be realistic here, its definitely not a 10. I give it a 6/10, probably lower if it wasn't for the womens title match and that Shane elbow drop from the top of the cell.

6.5/10
I would've rated it lower, but the insane elbow drop, and the women's title match were just 2sweeet.

For me, quality of matches make an event. Opinions always divided on how an event is booked. Match quality and performance overalls although from what I hear the calibre of the Heavyweight bout was poor which is always a disappointment, especially being Wrestlemania.
I was pleased that most matches had a decent running time but hate such things like The Rock winning in 6 seconds or something, which I feel takes the game away.

There was a lot of good stuff going on but also a lot of bad stuff. Some good to great matches, many stupid booking decisions. Highlight of the show to me was Cena and especially Rock burying the clowns that call themselves Wyatt Family.

I'd give it a 7. I think they did well with the Stars they had.

On a second watch, they definitely could have done better hiding the inflatable lol. (No disrespect to McMahon)

Wow, do most of you realise that nobody reads a wall of text.
Was m'kay.
HHH and Steph entrance was awful.
Taker/Shane was bittersweet really.

overall, a 5. is has 0 replay value outside of the ladder match, for me at least personally.

minus 5 stars.
nah, it was decent but a lot of bad booking decisions imo. outside of the shane spot and hbk, there wasn't much else that i would consider that memorable. takeover was dope though.
