I will say I was hoping for a better entrance ramp. I was expecting a pirate ship or something along those lines. Like I said earlier, it was pure laziness. Yes, the Performance Center isn’t a 80,000-100,000 seat stadium, nor is it 18,000-20,000 seat arena, but they could have used their imagination, and spiced things up a little. Wrestlemania 36 is pirate themed. Could’ve had some palm trees, sand, water, and lit fire torches for props, like Summerslam 2007. Then, a couple of mini pirate ships by the staging, or in the audience area. As for the LED’s they use, they could’ve simulated water splashing, and crashing through an ocean, while raining during a thunderstorm. There’s a ton of cool crap they could have done to dress up the place. Instead, it looked like a Nitro and Thunder set from 2000. Very cheap, and budget like. |

The one they started to build in the stadium that we saw in the Rhea video package looked sooo good Are you talking about the ship that is already part of the stadium?  This... makes me sad. What could have been... 😞😔 |

I honestly was asleep for most of Mania. I managed to watch the last 2 matches, plus I was in and out of consciousness between matches. The Universal title match was what it was. I loved the Boneyard match. Super entertaining. I got to hear of two matches I missed the winners to listening to Wrestling Soup. Ugh Becky retained.

Edge/Foley was MOTN and both world title matches where pretty good and the HBK/McMahon stuff was fun again for for and ass whopping and angle kind of like tonight's closing segment.The worst Mania in the last decade in a half is probably 27. Nvm, you’re right lol I completely forget about that. Only semi redeeming quality was Orton vs Punk That and Mysterio-Rhodes (best match of the night) were highlights but didn't have much behind them. The rest all sucked. Troll Cole didn't help things either. 26, 27, and 31 rank in the bottom three of modern day. Honorable mention for 32. |

Baron Corbin and Elias Samson should win the match of the year. I was hoping it would be a two out of three falls match.

Good show, great main event!
That was probably the best women's tag title match so far. Nikki Cross' enthusiasm was a lot of fun, I wish she'd got that moment in front of a huge crowd.
Only thing I didn't like was Corbin vs Elias, which really should never have been on a WrestleMania card anyway.
I was hoping/expecting the Shayna-Becky thing to be like Lesnar-Cena at SummerSlam 2014.
Ladder match was solid. There was a kid on here a couple of days ago saying Kofi didn't have a match this year lol.
Sami Zayn is great in his role. I hope he cheats his way to a really long title reign.
I wish Goldberg had done an open challenge thing, and that Big E had answered it. But still, finally Braun wins the big one!
I didn't have much interest in Owens vs Rollins because they've done it so much on TV, but their promos building the match were really good. And they put on a really good bout, too. Was shocking to see KO do the big fatboi drop for real rather than through camera trickery - big commitment to the show.
Main event is my match of the year so far. Undertaker looked so much better here than he has in a decade. And AJ brought the fight to him! The trash talk made it, and the music. Fantastic match, easily better than any previous Buried Alive match.

Undertaker always brings his best at the biggest show of the year. I'm glad to see Braun Strowman win the world title at Wrestlemania.

Next Manufactured’s Sweater Kofi wasn't mentioned in any news I was reading, and made mention of it once I saw it was officially announced. Good to see you still paying attention bud lol

As an audible, with no build to the match they could make this Braun as champ work well while treading water during the corona restrictions.
Braun can carry the belt and have a few dominant defenses, and maybe a few heavyweight battles that make him “strong”.
During this time the Fiend beats Cena, and then just starts messing with Braun playing up their past and all sorts of stuff. Maybe Fiend takes the belt back, maybe he doesn’t. If done right the angle can be fun and pass a decent chunk of time. When the health risks reduce they can decide which one gets fed to Roman in the summer/fall.
Personally, I would have the Fiend cause mayhem with Braun and others, but not necessarily get the belt. Maybe even beat Braun in a non title grudge match to keep him strong and show he doesn’t need/value a belt. Then if Roman is gonna get another go he can look big and strong going over a rebuilt Braun.

Wrestlemania in 2020 ended with Undertaker on a motorcycle in front of a barn with flames.
And I absolutely loved it.

That Boneyard match was probably the greatest thing they have done so far in the year 2020.
We could have had a boring Styles vs. Taker match in a ring in front of 80,000 fans, but instead we got a horror style movie from the 80s in a grave yard with so much randomness that it made it seem awesome.
Plus we got Metallica!!!!

For what is what the show was great.
- The Women's Tag Team Championship match was really good and all 4 women put on a great match.
- King Corbin Vs. Elias was my least favorite match.
- The Raw Women's Championship was okay kinda shocked that Becky retained. I guess the reports are true and Vince isn't high on Shayna.
- The Intercontinental Championship was a fun and good match, I love the chicken crapheel Sami Zayn with his guys Nakamura and Cesaro
- The SmackDown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match was weird to see a Tag Team Championship match in a singles type match but the the match was awesome and those guys killed each other and I love the finish of the match.
- Kevin Owens Vs. Seth Rollins was a good match until the shitty finish but glad it was restarted into a No Holds Barred match and KO with the wild dive on to Rollins from the WrestleMania sign to the announcers table.
- The Universal Championship was short and simple and glad the Strowman is a world champion.
- The Boneyard Match was something you'll see in a B level horror movie but Undertaker and Styles beat the living crapout of each other. This wasn't a match it was a fight and it was cool to see Undertaker ride to the Boneyard to "Now That We're Dead" by Metallica.

The boneyard match was one of the best things WWE has done. I wasn’t expecting that at all! AJ was great in his role and that is by far the best thing Undertaker has done in years. Loved it!
I was totally surprised by the show, I went in not expecting much but I loved it. Owens/Rollins was phenomenal in my opinion and the ladder match ending was absolutely perfect!

Yeah 29 is right there with the rest, but personally 34 was pretty good. |

Side bar if Taker wants to wrestle again next year for WM 37 who should he face,even with the cool angle tonight don't feel like he would want to retire in basically and angle and not really a match up.Just wondering if maybe they would bring back Kane or have him face a younger guy like Alister Black or maybe even Drew McIntrye. Honestly, giving McIntyre vs. Undertaker for next year would be the best way to redeem McIntyre losing his special moment this year. He could easily be Undertaker's final WM opponent and perhaps beat him. The only other person I can see Undertaker facing is Bray/Fiend. |

my only qualm is that in my fantasy of Taker vs. AJ....i dont imagine AJ styles just throwing punches the whole time I know, that's what I was thinking the whole time, when is he going to do a 450? |

As much as I love Becky, it's time she drops the belt. Even if she gets screwed out of it and has to be on the chase for it. Her first few years in the company she was a goofy jobber, so I'm glad she got the push, but the belt being on the same person for so long gets stale.
