I just want to say Brock Lesnar is an insanely special talent and showed why blood can be loving awesome in matches. Imagine that Reigns comeback without blood pouring down his face. Not nearly as believable.

His selling was loving perfect, also.

I didn't watch mania but here's my two cents on the recap:

-Thank you Rollins.
-I can't stop laughing about Wyatt losing.

I don't watch nearly as much as I used to but I watched Wrestlemania and it was really good, better than last year's which was also good.

Really the best possible result. Take the belt off the part-time champ while still having Brock look like a monster and save us from a Reigns title run. And everyone ends up pissed at Seth, who is awesome.

That is about the only good way to resolve that main event.

The most perfectly-booked match of the night, if not the company's whole year, was the match everybody dreaded for the last 4 or 5 months

High praise considering WM30 is considered one of the best manias of all.

WM 31 was fun, best way to describe it. For the most part I wasn't bored and I had a big goofy smile on my face for most of it. Also I loved the main, easily one of my favorite mains ever.

Also please lose the belt soon Bryan.

I honestly wonder who came up with that finish. I absolutely did not see that coming. I had a great time watching tonight. Some downsides, but overall it was worthy of a WrestleMania™ experience. Had a lot of fun!

Brock Lesnar is cool because he legit kills people and gets crowds to count his suplexes

I watched it with a chat and we all agreed we all saw the Rollins' cash in coming AFTER the match.

It happening during the match threw us all off and was perfect.

I stand on land.
Heres what I think:

- Tag match: I was driving and missed this except for the end but it seemed cool I'm glad Kiddsaro won
- Battle royal: Man should've just given it to Mizdow, Big Show seriously? boo
- IC title: met the hype and had a lot of cool spots. Bryan winning was expected but welcome. Ambrose was this year's Shelton Benjamin.
- Orton/Rollins: Passable match elevated by a grade A ending
- Triple H/Sting: when the commentators kept putting over this as a WCW/WWE thing even during the match it began to dawn on me Trips might win, and lol he did. It was a lot of fun to get there though. I thought Trips' entrance fell a bit more on the ridiculous side than the fun side.
- Divas: it was fine
- Concerts: I don't like concerts on wrestlemania boo
- Cena/Rusev: kind of the inverse of Rollins/Orton where it was a pretty darn good match and a bleh ending. I'm not objecting to Cena winning that's completely fine, just didn't feel Wrestlemania-y to me. Rusev's entrance was the right kind of ridiculous and was my favorite.
- Rock & Rousey: a wee bit too long and I wish Rousey did a bit more, but overall very cool and a nice moment.
- Undertaker/Wyatt: I'm gonna be that wet blanket guy and say that Wyatt continuing to make big proclamations and coming up short is hurting a character that they really should be running with. Taker looked pretty good though so they probably have more plans in mind for him. Match was decent.
- Reigns/Lesnar: excellently booked, Reigns has good matches when he doesn't do much. Rollins has consistently been a highlight the past year and firmly deserves this, and did so while getting Reigns a bit of sympathy/legitimacy and Brock still hasn't been pinned since he became a monster. Crowd reactions also made it fun. They really pulled this off, but hilariously it's because they couldn't tell the story they wanted to in the first place.

Overall this was a pretty good WrestleMania! Given it had the potential to suck my hat's off to WWE.

edit: I don't think this was better than last year's but I really loved last year's

I heard his music and it still took me several seconds to put together it was Rollins' music and what was going on

I kinda liked Roman smiling at the start of the match. Like he was happy for the challenge even if there was no way he could overcome it. He could've looked strong just taking a beating and still getting up, even without much offence.

Reigns was annoying as hell but everything else in that match was good and the whole PPV was really good

As soon as Cena won and went into the front row we all saw Rock's mom though which was extremely fail

Oh and this is weird but I loved the pop for Rollins winning. There was somehow a tone of "I can't believe this is how this ends" mixed with general jubilation. It owned.
