Seems like a lot of people enjoyed Mania more than me.
AJ vs Shane- Basically what you'd expect. AJ is great, and Shane can do some nice spots. Still... why? There isn't a great built in rivalry with Shane and AJ, and there are so many talented people shoved into the Battle Royal or not on the card that I don't get it. AJ really would have been much better used helping the Undertaker get to a good match.
Owens vs Jericho- It was fine. A solid performance. I enjoyed watching it, but thinking back I can't really remember a single spot, so I guess it wasn't very memorable.
Raw Women's Fatal Four Way- The intro with the three girls teaming to take out Nia was interesting. After that, it seems like they were rushing to the finish. I think the elimination format actually hurt this one.
Tag Team Ladder Match- Fun to see the Hardy's back, and they did a really great job with the New Day tease. Match itself was, like most of the card, good with nothing to make it great.
John Cena and Nikki Bella vs Miz and Cena- There is really no reason this match shouldn't have been on Raw. After the whole storyline focuses on John Cena and Nikki Bella being publicity hounds, Cena proposes to his girlfriend at wrestlemania instead of somewhere intimate. Of course, he likely popped the question earlier, judging by Nikki's complete lack of surprise, but they kind of proved the heel right. Seemed a bit tacky.
Rollins vs HHH- Best match of the night. Good psychology, a well built story, and two great wrestlers. HHH can still go. The ending sequence with both men going for the pedigree worked really nicely. Stephanie taking a bump was a bit predictable, but sometimes you just have to go with a good story instead of a surprise for surprise's sake. I'm a little confused on why there was a ref in an unsanctioned fight though.
Randy vs Wyatt- I like the gimmick, but could the announcers not treat us like idiots? It's a projector, not an inexplicable phenomena. Just say that Bray Wyatt had this planned to **** with Randy Orton, but don't act confused like you don't know what happened.
The ring projections were a neat way to make the match stand out, but unfortunately, there was no real match to go with it. It was slow, plodding, and boring, and the wrong guy went over.
Lesnar vs Goldberg- I really don't like this feud to begin with. Considering what they had to work with, it was as good as I could have expected. No need for the title to be involved.
All the Smackdown Women- Another thing that could have just been on Raw. Too short for the amount of people involved. Should have just done Naomi vs Bliss.
Undertaker vs Reigns- Kind of sucked. At this point, Undertaker needed someone who could carry him to a good match, and Reigns isn't that guy. Taker really should have stopped after the Hell in a Cell with HHH, or after getting beat by Lesnar.
The second year in a row they had to mute the crowd, but they still insist on pushing Reigns. I'm pretty sure that Reigns is in possession of a photo of Vince spooning with Putin or something. At least Reigns was acting like a heel. They should have had him go all the way.
Most of the matches were pretty good, but there was just nothing great. Nothing really special or worthy of Mania. At least the PPVs are 10 bucks nowadays (and come with the much better NXT events). If I'd have paid 50 dollars I'd be pretty upset.
