I've finally watched it, and man was it great!
I'm glad they made the IC championship match a ladder match. It actually reminds me of when the MITB ladder match still took place at WM and didn't have its own PPV. I thought it was too short though; with such great talent, they could have made this an even more interesting match. I must also say I didn't really expect Bryan to win it, but I think it was a good decision to award him the title. I don't like the guy, or at least his character and I hate the whole Yes Movement, but he's a fan favorite and he'll help make the IC title mean a little more than it has been for the past 4 or 5 years.
I didn't expect the Triple H vs. Sting match to come so early. The Game's entrance was quite a surprise and didn't feel as good as his previous ones, but was still pleasant to watch. What was supposed to be a battle between two great wrestlers soon turned out to be the return of the Monday Night Wars, 14 years after the WCW was beaten and bought by the WWE. It was good to see wrestling legends make a comeback either as part of DX or the nWo, but that's not what I had expected. And it looks like it put an end to the HHH-Sting rivalry, which means no rematch at Extreme Rules, or whatever.
The "concert" wasn't a complete disaster, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm not a fan of the artists' music, but that kept me entertained. At least we didn't have to endure watching the Funkasaurus and an army of grandmas dance to some awful music.
Then came the Divas match, and I think it set a new record for the longest Divas match at WrestleMania since... well, a very long time, at 6 minutes 42 seconds! Just kidding. Seriously though, I don't understand why Brie was included in the match, because IIRC, she wasn't even tagged in once.
I won't say much about the Cena vs. Rusev match because the outcome was no surprise. Cena once again overcame the odds and ended the Russian Brute's undefeated streak, winning his 15782th championship since his debut. What a hero for the American people! (lol) Anyway, Rusev received far more applause from the crowd than Mr. Superman and no one gave a sh*t that he'd just taken the US title from the hands of the Evil Russian, saving us all from an imminent invasion, and that was very comforting. After a 3-minute propaganda-like video, I thought, so much for that wasted effort.
The promo that ensued was awesome! It was lengthy and it took The Rock quite some time to answer back, but it was well worth the wait everytime because I laughed my a** off! I had expected a Triple H vs. The Rock announcement since that promo at the 15th anniversary of SmackDown in October, and I thought this was gonna be it for WM 32 in Arlington, Texas. I guess I was wrong.
Wyatt vs. Taker. Well, it was nowhere near as awesome as HBK vs. Taker at WM XXV, but it was still okay. The Undertaker has still got it, but he's lost a lot. In my opinion, he should have retired after WM XXVIII. His match against Triple H was awesome and he really delivered. It would have truly been the end of an era and he'd still be undefeated at WM. Don't get me wrong, I like The Undertaker and I was happy to see him return to the ring one more (last?) time, but let's face it, he's not the Undertaker we used to know anymore. He just shows up every year with a different haircut for a match at WM, and then goes silent for another 11 months. Who knows when and how it's gonna end? Plus, the streak no longer means something, so who'll dare challenge him next year? Sting? I don't think so.
The main event was far better than I expected it to be. During the first minutes of the match I thought we were gonna see a replay of the SummerSlam 2014 main event, with Rollins portraying Cena (suplex city, y'know). I was so absorbed that I had completely forgotten that Rollins would more than likely seize the opportunity and cash in his MITB briefcase to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The finish was superb!
