Despite other Mania's having "worse" matches, this was the first mania where I legit just didn't feel like it was Mania. Cody vs Roman was literally the only match that made me feel like it was

I wanted backstage fights. I wanted in ring and backstage cameos. I wanted special appearances. I wanted longer matches. That is what made Wrestlemania in the first place.

Put Fluffy out there. Snoop Dogg. Have Hacksaw Jim Duggan make a backstage cameo with Farooq or something.
I mean they had Lil Yachty.

Also having Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Faarooq together would’ve made this good for you. :lol

Where I respect your opinion. I gotta disagree with needing more celebs than we got.

I understand the point he's trying to get to. This Mania felt like we were just watching from the hard cam and didn't have the interconnected web of backstage, and different shit. I felt exactly what he had felt

They literally had Ishowspeed wrestle a match, Jelly Roll slammed Pat McAfee through a table and Yachty introduced trick Williams. What more do you want

Which is novel, because somehow the in-ring action was like 40% of the show, so wtf was happening

Basicslly the structure resembled UFC events. Lots of stalling and down time being a part of it..

It was essentially just match, ad, match, ad, match, ad... very little variety
