I preferred the Firefly fun House one. Far smarter, in my eyes.

I was 50/50 on this Wrestlemania. some of the matches were good, some were meh, a few were terrible....but my biggest issue was the difference between the good and bad.

the matches where the right guy won...were terrible matches (Braun, Drew), and the matches that were pretty good CLEARLY had THE WRONG one win (Charlotte should NOT have gone over Rhea; Lynch SHOULD NOT have won over Shayna). some matches were great, some were bland, and then we had the two cinematic matches which were creative and fun.

Overall...C Mania. Even the good matches were bad, only a few were out-and-out victories.

Oh, and outside of the first 2 minutes and last 5 minutes, the Edge-orton match was hot garbage. The beginning and end were hot fire, though.

I didn’t see Wrestlemania, mostly because my app for WWE network broke when they changed some kind of authentication procedure - and I quit the network some time back.

But I’d say the reason why those two matches were better had more to do with the fact that you had 4 of the best women’s wrestlers involved - and all 4 of them are (imo) clearly better than Drew, Brock, and Goldberg - these guys are mostly image-based performers, not skill-based performers. Braun is great as a “big man” wrestler, though, but he needs the right people to work with... and again, he’s still more image than skill, so more likely to put on a bad match than any of the 4 aforementioned women.
