I enjoyed both nights. I haven't watched a full Raw or Smackdown is about a year or two honestly as the shows have just been god awful. But i enjoy tuning into some of the PPV's. Mania just doesn't have the "big match" feel like it did in years past anymore, but that's what happens when you don't create big time players. Taker not being on the show leaves a huge void. And obviously no Rock, Cena, HHH etc... but probably not a bad idea to leave them off. they need to get these new guys over without those guys hogging the card.
Hopefully next year will have a bigger feel and they actually have decent builds going |

Night 1 was a great show, Night 2 was a good show. The whole experience was really good for me, I think I'll get back into watching WWE PPV's because of this. I may not watch then Battleground shows but when they go back to in person audience I will for sure.
The downfall of Night 2 was ... A relatively uneventful and or forgettable Fiend/Orton conclusion Nothing special going with the women's tag Owens & Zayn was good but not on the level of Cesaro/Rollins Riddle/Sheamus was very good but not that important. Big E/Apollo was above average but not that memorable but had a nice finish angle. Ripley/Auska was very good but could've been longer with more focus. Main event was great and saved the show from being a bad show. |

Last year had 19 matches split up over two nights while the Manias before it were hitting the 6+ hour marks with the pre-shows included. Even NXT TakeOvers prior to the pandemic were starting to suffer from becoming bloated for show time legnth. |

One of the longest nights of my life. Not to say I regretted going - it's live WrestleMania, it's an experience. But Kofi vs. Bryan like 3 hours into the main card peaked the crowd and there was no way to recover, not even with 6 more matches to go. Exhausting. |

Wasn't it also a nightmare to get home after WM 35 because of some transportation issue (forgot what)

Had no idea that would happen but I was determined to GTFO ASAP anyway. The second Becky won I rushed to the bathroom under my section, pissed, and power walked out to the train and got on that first one. Got back to Manhattan and my hotel was like a 7 or 8 block walk from Penn Station. Think I physically walked into my hotel at 2 AM on the nose. Even though I was tired I had to jump in the shower real quick cause I was in a stadium all day and felt gross, got out, checked the WM Planning subreddit and found there were thousands of people stranded outside in the pouring rain and some of them didn't get out of the stadium lot until well after 3 AM. Thank fuck I rushed out of there. |

If Mania's back to one night after this I probably won't be going next time it's NYC/NJ. I'll just load up on even more events that weekend. Went to Takeover, ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard, and one of the WrestleCon shows. For the cost of my Mania ticket I probably could've gone to like 3 more shows and stayed an extra night at the hotel.

You guys should consider yourselves lucky, because with Mania now seemingly not travelling outside the U.S. anymore, and even though I live a 90-minute train ride away from Toronto, I likely will never see Mania live.
The UnderTaker now being retired is another reason why I'll never get to go to that event, because with him being my top favorite overall talent, there's now no point for me to bother getting a ticket. Plus, I see the U.S. as being too dangerous to be in, and also not able/willing to board a plane, and I guess I'm relegated to watching it on TV for the rest of eternity. =S |

Read everything first and am watching videos (along with the forum commentary lol) now to see what's up.
Only thing I got so far is Alexa is melting cause she sacrificed herself to bring back Bray. |

That main event was fucking ace. The right guy won. Assuming the boos were authentic, that’s exactly the kind of response you want for your bad ass top heel.

Enoyed the rest of night 2 over all. Happy Roman won, let's get Big E to go after him next.

I think it would be an interesting long term booking to have Bobby build to a big Summerslam main event against Brock, put Bobby over. Simmer on Drew/Bobby til Mania next year where Drew can get the belt back after winning the Rumble. I don't know that they will hold onto Bobby as champ that long but it's a story I'd like to see.

Thinking about it over coffee....one thing I would've changed that I think most of the forum was in agreeance on...
Should've at least won and gone on to night 2. |

What kinda match would you compare to doing your taxes.
Is it like Hell In a Cell - and the unknown participants are the tax boogeyman waiting for a countdown to come and audit you? |

Hmm... it's like a Money in the Bank cash-in with a RAW Anonymous GM watching over and knowing they could screw you over after, and Michael Cole is commentating from inside the glass box.

Let us know what your expected return is if you are indeed expecting a return alright.

Becky feels like an easy guess......but man, what a fucking waste to not do it last night if that's the case as she's someone that would've gotten an actual pop.
Part of me wonders if someone like Adam Cole might go up now that Undisputed Era is done and the blowoff match happened. Not that I think his main roster run will be great but not really sure what else there is for him to do there. |

I didn't watch NXT but I think that Cole to the main roster would be great as well as Balor. I think Balor on Smackdown would present some great options. Cole would work well on Raw or Smackdown, perhaps Raw could use him more.
