....definitely not "The Best Wrestlemania Ever" or anywhere close - that's just Recency Bias talking. To begin with, it's way too long (duh!) at over 8 hours in total, and if you cut out the commercials, the promos, the rampant product placement (I mean, I know we're talking about the heart of capitalism here, but still...), the trailers, etc you'd probably have a 4-hour show on your hands. My favorite match across both nights has to be the six-pack ladder match on Night 1, which contained some truly jaw-dropping spots and was anybody's game. The IC title match was also very good. On Night 2, the triple threat for the US title was the most fun match. There were also some matches primed for fast-forwarding, like the Mysterio and the Uso "family feuds". The storytelling for the big Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns clash, spread over two nights, was painfully predictable, though the match itself definitely had its pop-inducing moments. There was also a shortage of star power in the women's division for this 'Mania; Bianca Belair deserves more than a midcard spot. 7/10 overall.
