Since I rarely watch the 'E, I could be reading WAY too much into this, but...
Is it just me, or is Zach Ryder's current 'look' starting to resemble that of CM Punk when he left the company?

The Andre the Giant Battle Royal on the show and why not have the Wyatts in it instead of Shaq As well as The Rock and The Wyatts. To long Shaq in it was fine with me, as they needed some more celebrity and gets them on the front page of sports sites. The Wyatt thing was to give them the rub of being in there with another iconic superstar. Not everyone liked that sure, but I'm sure it was good by them to be in a high profile spot. Up to the Diva's match I was enjoying it, but after that the show dragged. Everyone lost steam and main event fell flat, which was expected. I'll watch Raw tonight, but will probably take a break like I did last year at this time. I'm not sure that's what they should have been going for. They should probably be aiming to KEEP viewers after Mania.

I'm sure I'm the dissenting viewpoint, but I think they made the right decision to keep the Wyatts out of the battle royal. Shaq was a better inclusion IMO.

I thought the women's title match was good and the highlight of the show, although the finish was strange booking. I assumed Sasha would win - hell, she pinned Charlotte just last week on Raw - and then Bayley comes up tonight to start building towards Sasha-Bayley III. I'm guessing that gets delayed a bit, I can't see Charlotte holding this title for much longer but it is kinda nice to see her with a "Women's title" since she'd been pretty vocal about that.
Shane's leap of death was incredible but the match itself was nothing special and the entire angle and finish didn't make much sense to me - so we're right back where we started 2 months ago when this all started. I'm not sure what was the point other than a great highlight.
Jericho beating AJ also made no sense to me.
I fell asleep during most of the main event, I thought it was because I was tired and it was late, but from what I've read about it, maybe I wasn't tired lol.
I thought the ladder match was decent, but I don't know who Zack Ryder is so the finish was lost on me. I was expecting Zayn or KO to win.
Overall, I thought it was relatively entertaining but nowhere near the level of the NXT show. I think the best thing coming out of this show is the retirement of the Diva belt, I didn't expect WWE to do the right thing but they did.

Shaq was harmless fun, and the Wyatts' absence allowed Baron Corbin to make a big debut. The Family's involvement with the Rock may conceivably springboard them into something threatening again, depending on what the WWE does with them. All in all, I thought it was a perfectly acceptable 'Mania. Not my favorite, but I went into it looking for some mindless fun, and I got it.

I didn't have high expectations going in so I thought it was an alright show...3 pre show matches were ok, triple threat divas match was good but bad finish, ladder match was good but again bad finish, dont get the AJ losing thing but decent match, brock/ambrose & taker/shane were decent matches but anticlimactic, Baron winning was a nice change, the whole rock thing was dumb and I also fell asleep during main event but saw the finish, cant say much about it, it was as bad as you can imagine...but for 9.99 to get takeover, hof and mania I really cant complain...hope raw brings some nice surprises
btw the walking dead finally was not good...have to wait six months to know what happened? that blows...this season has been the worse so far

I didn't think WM32 was that bad. I thought it was kinda long for almost 5 hours not counting the pre-show, but I guess if I was paying all that money for a ticket I would want the most for my dollars. I applaud everyone involved in making WM happen cause I know its a lot of hard work just to entertain us.

I applaud everyone involved in making WM happen cause I know its a lot of hard work just to entertain us. I didn't think it was that bad either. Plenty of great action even if some of the results were questionable. My main gripe was seeing Charlotte retain with help from Ric Flair. I would have liked to see her retain clean though better yet I would have preferred either Becky Lynch or Sasha Banks winning. Chris Jericho over AJ Styles was a surprise but Y2J is no slouch so really him winning should not be viewed as negatively as it has been. Overall it was a solid show and the main problem I had was the length of it as I fell asleep just prior to Roman Reigns and Triple H locking up which some would say was a blessing lol. I have since watched that match and it wasn't too bad in my opinion. I would give WrestleMania 32 weekend a thumbs up but I do have to say it was lame that they put Kalisto vs. Ryback on so early as the vast majority of seats were still empty meaning many fans entering the building got screwed out of seeing a match or two during the pre-show.
