I thought it was a really good Mania overall but obviously some things I didn't like. In terms of matches and outcomes, the biggest one is the end. Why have a wonky finish be the final thing of your show? That's dumb and undermines the match.
Beyond that, WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too long. Seven and a half hours for a wrestling show is NUTS. Having people sitting in an arena for as long as they'd sit at their desk at work is STUPID. And you could EASILY cut a LOT:
-Cut the pre-show down to 1 hour. Cut both battle royals.
-Cut HHH-Batista from a 25-minute match to around 10-15.
-Cut Styles-Orton from the show
-Cut Balor-Lashley from the show
-Cut Reigns-McIntyre from the show
That's like, 2 hours worth of material right there, and you lose nothing of any real significance.

Yeah, I agree.
Unless they earned it, there is no need to have nearly the entire roster participate in WrestleMania.

I'm gonna be attending the Monday Night RAW coming to Austin on June 3rd (my B-Day).
Hopefully they will be building the Super Showdown stuff & Goldberg/Undertaker make appearances.

What happened WWE? You put on an awesome WM but then shortly after that you went back to being crap again.
I managed to catch a bit of AEW's Double or Nothing Saturday and thought that was pretty good. I'm very interested in seeing the final product once they start airing it weekly.

Went to Monday Night Raw, it was pretty fun.
Didn't expect Brock Lesner to show up, they did announce that Undertaker would show up.
Most hilarious stuff was that "Devil Vince" puppet during the Firefly Fun House (though the video with the "muscle man dance" was odd), and R-Truth hiding under the ring.

So now we are gonna have the following:
Monday Night RAW on USA
Wednesday NXT on USA
Wednesday AEW on TNT
Friday Night SmackDown on FOX
So a "Wednesday Night War" coming soon?
Also a big draft for RAW/SmackDown is coming soon.

After watching AEW's All Out a few weeks ago they have the superior product right now. That was one hell of a PPV and I can't wait to see the weekly show, hopefully its good and they can continue to push WWE to put out a better product. I'd hate to have WWE be the ONLY mainstream product again and keep things stale.
God I miss WWE from the 97-2003

Yeah, I'm following the weekly AEW show, and even though the wrestling is very "spotty" it's still MUCH better than what WWE is doing right now.
I am liking the fact they got Tony Schivone back at commentary.
Plus the fans & people involved in making the show seem really into it.
The draft seemed to be a waste of time.
No clue why they are continuing the feud with Seth & Bray when they are on "opposite" shows.
Plus they keep doing really absurd matches, where no matter who wins, it's not good.

So I will be attending the upcoming AEW Dynamite on Feb. 12 here in Cedar Park.
Hopefully it will be awesome!
The Royal Rumble was pretty good, and man the pop for Edge returning was HUGE!
Plus when Drew McIntyre eliminated Brock Lesner & eventually won was big as well.

Man the AEW Dynamite show was FUN as heck!
If they come to your area, you should really try to go!
PROS:
Not very many lulls in the action
HOT crowd
CONS:
Could not hear what was going on backstage when they showed that on the screen
