Here at the end, for me this remains one of the best Manias in recent years, which is really surprising considering the lackluster build for it. There were a couple of really bad matches, but even then those aren't what I think of when I look at this card and even after seven hours, I'm smiling. That's all I can ask…

As the match is going on, Taker's current condition seems to be a larger and larger hindrance and I don't Reigns is the correct person to carry him. This isn't a diss against Reigns, but rather because his style is power based.

Making this a trash match makes sense to keep attention away from Taker's limitations

I'm sad I only have one upvote to give

Don't know what I was expecting from that SDL women's title match, but it was certainly a match.

I'm shocked how effective that match was. No matter how much I hate Lesnar as champion, or a performer at this point, for moments like this, it can't be anyone else.

By the way, relating to Reigns/Taker. WWE clearly knows what they are doing there, as has been evident with the whole build, and if Reigns is going over, they are not going to expect cheers for him.

Wait, that was it? I literally just walked away for a minute and heard the pin.

Something I find really weird is the placing of the matches. They put a lot of the matches we knew would be harder paced in to the first half and then the matches we know to plotting to the latter half. Neither match type is inherently better, but I almost feel mixing them up would have improved things.

Okay, I have to concede this point.

Something that is hitting me is that that shift to the main card probably screwed the SDL women over so bad. Instead of getting good time and probably headlining the Kickoff show, they are now so deep in cooldown that it is painful.

Really liked the match even if I think they should have removed five minutes from the first half. Also I can't believe Steph took the table spot like that.

But they haven't told that story. The story they are telling is Seth bringing the fight despite his injury

I absolutely love that Cena actually proposed to Nikki a year ago, but just kept it secret from her. That seems like such a Cena thing to do.

They seriously brought Lawler to comment on a match involving women? I can't see anyway this could go wrong or anything awkward is about to be said about women and their relationships.

This has been a fantastic Mania so far

If you had told me six months ago that Shesaro would be one of my favorite tag teams of the past decade, I would have laughed at your face.

And when I thought the Cesaro/Sheamus entrance could not get better. I love those two so much.

I'd argue the elbow drop elimination was even weirder

Good match, although it felt a bit short and both Sasha's and Charlotte's pins felt almost random and I don't think anyone expected them to be three counts.
