IMO the card exceeded expectations.
The IC match delivered and Zack Ryder winning was unexpected. All participants put in work.
New Day vs LON was what I expected it to be. The big box of Booty O's and the Dragonball or Power Rangers gear was A fun match and Austin, HBK and Foley coming out was a great moment. HBK was in great shape and looked like he has one more Mania match in him. Styles vs HBK or Nakamura vs HBK would be I never need to see Austin dance again.
Brock vs Dean was pointless and a waste of a match. After all that build up it was very underwhelming.
Shane vs Taker Shane has some adamantium balls and is a gotdamn maniac for doing that elbow off the cell. Match was solid too, you gotta give to these McMahon's. Shane & Vince have taken some insane bumps over the years, and they didn't have to.
Triple Threat Women's Title was all over the place. That's the reason I wanted it to be a one on one between Sasha and Charlotte. Snoop coming out with Sasha was dope and her homage to Eddie with the tights was awesome. The match wasn't bad I just expected it to steal the show.
AJ vs Y2J was not that good. Their previous two matches blow this one away.
Andre Battle Royal served its purpose. Having some legends in their as well as Shaq was great. Props to Baron for winning it, hopefully they actually use this to build him up.
Rock segment was dope as always. Never expected him to wrestle even if it was just 6 seconds. Cena coming to help against the Wyatts was a nice surprise. I'm not gonna do like some and compare the reactions they each got. It was a great moment for the fans.
Trips vs Roman was aight. They didn't have any chemistry and it looked they were just trying anything. Glad he finally got his Mania moment and the crowd wasn't as hostile as I expected.
Overall I give it a 7 out of ten. It was pretty much a run of the mill Mania, and not a disaster like everyone expected IMO.
