This is a wrestlemania of which I am still not sure if I loved it or hated it.
Only tuned in for Brock and Ronda's matches. Brock's was atrocious as expected, but I'm surprised he was allowed to hold onto the title since he's coming back to the UFC after this match.
Rousey's match was surprisingly entertaining, mostly because (for me) I've been a huge HHH fan since the 90's and it was nice to see him back in action again and I have always enjoyed Stephanie's character. I just can't buy into this whole "baddest woman" narrative they are trying to push knowing she was brutally KO'd in her last two real fights and essentially went into hiding until her WWE debut.
This isn't surprising to me.

This show was too long, and my trying to watch the whole thing in one sitting was a mistake. I got tired, and frankly should watch some matches again before judging.
However, I'm glad Daniel Bryan is back. Frankly, he could have done anything and I would have approved, so yeah. I approve. However, I hated they tried to tease the crowd with Bryan getting "injured" before his match. I knew it wasn't serious, so despite the story they were trying to tell, I feel like I was kept waiting for no good reason.
Rounda rousy/Angle match was surprisingly fun, and despite what most people say I'm glad Jinder won the title. He's not my favorite, but considering he was released a few years ago, I'm just happy a man that was expendable to this company has now has a place. That said, of course I wanted Russev to actually win, but still I'm happy for Jinder. He's not getting fired anytime soon!
It's similar with the Bludgeon Brothers winning the tag titles. Harper and Luke have always been talented, so I'm happy they got a WrestleMania win. Plus, it's good for the tag division, as now there's this monster team that someone has to rise to the occasion and defeat. Unlike at Raw...I don't even know that was. It's a cute moment, but the Bar deserves better.
If your sporting event is longer then the Super Bowl or the last game in the World Series, it's too long.
Breaking News, Okada is gonna be part of All In! (The show that Cody Rhodes and Young Bucks are running in September.).

--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Lashely is back on Raw!
Name dropping TNA on WWE tv. There's a first time for everything.
I have to say the last several months of Impact actually been pretty good. Since that probably due to Don Callis taking over the show.
Carmella is now the Smackdown Women's Champion. Also I'm excited that the Iconic Duo is now on Smackdown. Peyton and Billie Kay are so underrated.
I refuse to call Peyton & Billie "Iconics", they shall forever remain "the Iconic Duo"! <3 And Heel Nakamura seems to be a real threat so far.
Also, good for Carmella. Hopefully, being the champ is not just a one off kinda thing and instead she will be in some interesting feuds and storylines again.
Paige as Smackdown's GM is a lovely choice, too. Seeing how she is a great talker, she should do splendidly in that position.
We all float down here!
I finally got to see Omega vs. Cody. It's a really enjoyable match, now I'm interested to see where this Bullet Club storyline is going. Since we still got like 5 months until All In.
RIP John Cena & Nikki Bella - To absolutely no one's surprise.
We all float down here!
I think Jeff Hardy is a Grand Slam Champ now.
For the record, as long as Jinder stays employed I'm happy. Or rather, I don't care. He's terrible, but I think he's done enough to deserve his paycheck. Related, I'm not looking forward to Jeff Hardy's run. The dude looks like he could fall apart in every match he's in.
Also Rusev seems to be back in that Saudi Arabia event? I'm sure there's a weird backstage story there.
