This wasn´t a bad Mania but I think they had to many celebirty/not an actual wrestler match. other than that I have one complaint.
WTF Priest like just have edge beat AJ not bring in this son of a bitch.

Priest is awesome and I'm intrigued as to where his partnership with Edge is going...it can only bring good things.
Overall a good event. I definitely prefer having Mania over 2 nights rather than 1 long slog of 5 hours.
Despite WWE's countless flaws, they also managed to do a decent job of making every match on the card seem like a main event in its own right...except New Day v Sheamus & Co which was clearly rushed just to get them on the card after bumping them on Saturday.
When celebs put in the effort that Paul, Knoxville and McAfee did I have no issues. Logan Paul in particular was excellent.
I'm a little narked they couldn't find space for the US or IC champs though.
Match of the weekend was a choice between Becky/BelAir, Cody/Rollins or Edge/Styles.

Well I see your opnion on priest because everybody except me loves him. about me I think he's not that great. The celebs I don't think that it was a bad thing with knoxville on a comical match and logan paul did a great job I just think it was too many for one show. And Edge and Priest is wasting Edge on a tag team when he should be in the singles division and then if Balor loses the belt he might team wth AJ and then they have a tag feud which would be cool however those are 3/4 guys in the situation that are too good in the singles division to put in tag teams |

Two nights is too much. I harp on it all the time, but if WWE was better at time management they could get a lot more done per show. Instead they insist on having extensive video packages before every match and in-house commercials between matches. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I preferred the days when only a select few were on the Wrestlemania card, and in most cases all of the champions were represented. Of course, there were only 3 belts back then so it was a lot easier.
This was like a C+ show for me. Not terrible, not great. A few standout moments but overall not worth the 8.5 hours I spent watching it.

That's the thing though Yup, having watched a lot of old Manias, Summerslams etc over the last year or so, especially during lockdown, you got an awful lot of filler matches that had no story, involving people who used to lose most weeks. My biggest gripe from the weekend match wise was the New Day thing where they were given about 30 seconds to fit a match in. Did we really need endless recaps of what happened last night? I'm all for video packages covering why match X is taking place but showing us what happened less than 24 hours ago? They could've covered that as part of the intro. |

I think the NXT Takeover shows spoiled me a bit. Something about a 5 match supercard just feels right.
And I like the video packages, I just don't think every match needs one and it doesn't need to be 3 minutes or longer.

The NXT Takeovers were the best events period until NXT 2.0 came along

I pretty much only use Peacock for Premier League, WWE PPVs and NXT UK, but I shelled out for the "premium plus" or whatever membership that gets rid of the inserted commercials because during a WWE event once the inserted ad played over the beginning of a match. I guess whatever decides what ads to play when selected one that was too long that time. I miss the standalone WWE Network. |

Rhea Ripley may be one (of course, not like she would be a tag team with either of them). |

I prefer the guys jumping up after the stunner but vince's was the funniest stunner sell of all time. |
