Didn't see that coming, or at least not like that

Really good show. It was missing the one all time great match, something in the 4 1/2 stars + range. But it was good to very good pretty much across the board. Hopefully they do something with Bryan as IC champ. The finish to the Orton/Rollins match was outstanding. Sting/HHH was full as much smoke and mirrors as possible. But it was fine. Was trying to figure out the combined age of everyone there at the end. Diva match was inoffensive. Rusev's entrance was awesome and the match was pretty good. Undertaker/Wyatt was good. The main event was very good (thanks Brock) and I loved the finish. Protected Brock, Reigns was somewhat protected and he can go heel off this if he wants doing the I got screwed storyline. And this is the first time in about 6 years that we have a WWE champ under the age of 30 which has been sorely needed for a long time.

Very clever use of smoke and mirrors during Sting v Triple H to turn it into an all-out nostalgia fest.
Also thought Taker looked pretty good, all things considered. He may not be Mr. 4*+ anymore, but I would have no problem with this quality of Taker match next year.

Here's my Star Ratings for Wrestlemania XXXI. (Didn't see Prelims)
Daniel Bryan def. Bad News Barrett, R-Truth, Dolph Ziggler, Stardust, Luke Harper, and Dean Ambrose to become WWE Intercontinental Champion. Rating: ****1/4.
Randy Orton def. Seth Rollins. Rating: ****1/4.
Triple H def. Sting. Rating: **3/4.
A.J. Lee and Paige def. Bella Twins. Rating: *3/4.
John Cena def. Rusev to become WWE United States Champion. Rating: ***1/2.
Undertaker def. Bray Wyatt. Rating: ***.
Seth Rollins def. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns to become WWE Champion. Rating: ****1/2.
The Rock-Ronda Rousey and Triple H-Stephanie McMahon Segment was ***** if you like ratings in-ring promo segments.
I give Wrestlemania XXXI a 9 out of 10. Best Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania XXIV. It's a Top 5 Wrestlemania for sure.

Did anyone find the daytime setting really jarring from a viewing perspective? With the hard camera being so low, I found it distracting as the crowd were in line with the ring/wrestlers.
I know a comparison was made with regular sports but typically the camera is elevated and crowd can only be seen in the periphery. Maybe I'm an idiot (very likely) but it did affect my enjoyment a tad.

I got used to it, but it was definitely a bit distracting at first.
Really loved the ambiance when the sun just started to set, though. Such a cool visual.

I don't get it. Triple H beats Sting using a jackhammer after numerous interferences and then shakes his hand like you would do after a hard fought, even battle? It's stupid.

Well Sting did hit him with a bat....tit for tat.
All greats have taken shortcuts, that's why they don't have any complaints about their careers.

It was Orton vs Rollins that I struggled most with, which is a shame given it was the best match of the night. I guess that's always the issue with having it in a stadium but the location made it feel like a massive deal (which it was).
