-Opener was great until the ending. Really did not enjoy the two using eachother's finishers and I thought the second black out was unneeded. Good match still.
-I liked how Undertaker messed with Bray before the match started. I think the match started off well. It really helped the match's storytelling. Honestly I loved this match. Awesome reversals and the action was great. Blood really helped it all come together. Again, did not like the ending. I just wasn't feeling it. It seems like a lot of your matches have all the good content and storytelling, but the ending just ruins the match for me.
-Cesaro Vs The Rock is really original. I'm liking how it's starting off fast-paced. You used the Rock really well. I really think you should get a new elite Cesaro. That one is just not good. I liked the Swiss Death reversed into a DDT. Really realistic with how the Rock would go against Cesaro I think. I would like to see how this interference goes with both of the members.
-Big E Vs Zayn was pretty average. It was a good match but it didn't do anything to interest me a lot.
-I don't think you should be making many more customs. I've seen the Zayne and the Angle and the Cesaro, and I don't think any of them are good. I do like how the Punk Vs Angle match started off. The elbows to kick it off were cool. I like the brawling a lot. I don't know about Angle being busted open already. It happened pretty quick. I also think the German suplexes happened to early, too. The match needed some better pacing. The flying clothesline into the ankle lock pose did not make any sense. I'm not saying the move wouldn't work, but the way it was posed just was awful. The match was too much, too soon and I just wasn't feeling it at all. It was just a brawl when it should have been a more technical match between these two. I liked the spots, but I just wasn't feeling this one.
-Side note: Not every match needs a false finish. It's Wrestlemania. That doesn't mean every match needs four finishers from each guy.
-Another side note: Promos are wayyyyyy too long. Without them, this show would've been like 20 minutes instead of 35.
-I like how the match began with a double clothesline but there was a sit down powerbomb literally 5 seconds into the match. You really need to think about how wrestling works. Honestly by watching the main event I wouldn't even think you were a wrestling fan. It had some nice spots but the pacing was so off and the moves and sequences sometimes made no sense at all.
Another side note: Where was Cena Vs Ambrose?
-Overall, the show was alright. It seems like there was something in every match I didn't enjoy. That may be because I watched the first two matches really feeling it and it spoiled by the third match. I think the biggest thing was posing. There's no way you look at some of those poses and say its alright. Some of them are just totally twisted and odd. The other biggest thing is pacing. Big moves right away and then lesser moves making people sell moves like finishers. I just wasn't feeling it. Also, think about some of the stuff before you do it. The lights going out can cause someone to mysteriously come to the ring, but not flash around the ring and then back to the top of the ramp. And it's sure as hell not enough time to get a casket in the ring and for Wyatt to run around Punk. The false finishes were a big problem, too. Way, way, way too many. I don't know why you think you need so many of them. It makes for ridiculous matches.

Match quality was great until the final stretches. Too many false finishes and stupid shit. I loved Bray vs Taker, but that ending was bleh. Work on posing and the endings and you'll be fine. I'll be watching more and more of you content hoping for the best.

I'm going to have to agree completely with Jordan and Dylan, here. During the matches themselves, it felt like you had really stepped up your game in the posing and pacing department, but you let it all down with the finish. Seriously, false finishes are becoming the new ADTR. You don't need guys doing each other's finishers in the OPENING MATCH. It just looks stupid. I see this so much in feds lately and I have no idea why. False finishes are something that should be saved for a Mania main event. Take WM XIX for an example. Rock and Austin must have used each other's finishers 6 or 7 times, but that was only because they knew that was the last time they were going to wrestle. You don't see John Cena using the RKO on Randy Orton when they main event a WWE show. So please, for the love of god, stop with that shit. Other than that, your posing and pacing got better.
7/10

Another side note: Where was Cena Vs Ambrose? It's BDW rules, so obviously it won't come out on time. On an actual reply of value that isn't a joke that most people here won't get, I'll try to get to reviewing this sometime, probably tomorrow since it's pretty late here.

I will say that I'm looking at your fed a lot like I looked at Gnaddi's and Gabe's about a a year and a half ago. It wasn't all there but now they're included in the list of best pic feds ever. I think you have a lot of potential and I think you'll get there if you really work hard.

I'm one of those people who never actually minded your fed. It had a few short comings, and the names were awful, but it was still alright. Ziggy's promos are pretty good and did a decent job of hyping the rest of the show. Ziggler vs Seth should be decent. Rap is a bit unfitting for the match but eh, and I like rap a little. Some nice chain wrestling. Don't think they should be going for moves like Powerbombs yet but eh. Still so far so good. Okay, even if he didn't land it, he shouldn't've gone for a curb stomp. Ziggler was pretty realistic. This seems to be going a little too fast, but eh, what do I know. At least none of them have traveled into spot monkey territory. It's an alright match actually...though the pacing is a little off. Was 2 curb stomps necessary? Other then that it was alright. Kinda hyped for Taker vs Bray. Now this is an odd suggestion I know, but have you ever thought of dubbing the entrance themes over the entrances instead of random rap? Like the bray thing would've been pretty cool but instead of his theme it was rap. Just saying, though I don't think anyone here does that...for whatever reason. Shadow thing was pretty neat. I see what Ziggy means about the knee pose. The taker mind games were a nice touch. Pacing is still rather off, but the psychology is pretty good. Yeah the pacing is pretty off. Still, not traversing into spot monkey territory, but close. The idea of this match and the moves themselves are great. 2 things though, taker seems to be not getting all that much offense in, and again the pacing. Nevermind, taker seems to be getting a bit more in. I don't like the addition of blood. Usually I'm a sucker for it but just seems unneccesary here. Now I don't go by the finisher mentality that a lot of indy wrestlers do, But the finishers....I mean only one should be needed to end a match. Maybe if it's a really big match, there can be one or two false finishes. But eh, what do I know. Liked the coffin spot. This entire match had the potential to be fantastic. It was still alright, but it wasn't near as good as it could be. Rock/Cesaro doesn't make sense so far.... little too fast paced...Gotta ask, is one of Cesaros arms different from the rest of his body? Yeah I'm not feeling this match. It was a creative matchup but it started off a little too fast and doesn't seem to be slowing down. At least you seem to understand their movesets. Sorry..didn't like this one at all. Brock at the end was pretty cool. You never modded that head? Jesus....but if I can overlook Ziggy's wooden ring I'll be able to overlook Woo woo woo ole ole ole. Did you repeat the same song the entire time? Meh. This again had the potential to be great but came up short. Ziggy's promo here is really off audio wise, though I know that's not your fault. Okay that angle is terrible. Hopefully the match is better then the figs. He went for the ankle lock way too early. What else can I say that I haven't already? Your posing is pretty good, but your pacing is off. Fix that, and tone down the false finishes, and maybe change the camera angle up a little bit (considering it's always almost a birds eye view) and you got yourself a solid fed. I'll stay for the next 14 minutes just to see your story development though. Wyatt going after Punk? Honestly, I would've loved to see a second Wyatt vs Taker but this isn't necessarily a bad feud idea either. Wait it's the main event already? What happened to Cena/Ambrose? And did you scrap that tyler breeze match? Main event was alright, but suffered from the same problems as the rest of the show. The promos Ziggy made were way too long most of the time, but that's not your fault.
So...
Posing: 7/10 It's not the best, but you're getting there.
Storyline development: 5/10 It's there, but I'd prefer a little more of it. Like a lot of these matches seemed thrown together, when you possibly could've started feuds. The only real feuds here that continued or started were Cena/Ambrose which was MIA for some reason, Brock/Rock, and Wyatt/Punk.
In ring psychology - 8/10 Good for the most part.
Pacing - 4/10 Needs a lot of work.
Overall... 6/10 show. It's the best thing you've ever put out, but it's not quite great yet. You've got a lot of room to improve, and I look forward to seeing more of your shows as you get better and better.

I have to agree with what everyone else said already. This show felt weird to me for some reason. I still think your posing needs to be worked on, and I didn't think it was neccessary for Rollins and Ziggler to do each others' finishers on each other with Rollins doing the ZigZag and Ziggler doing the Curbstomp but I enjoyed the match for what it was. The show was good, but at the same time felt weird to me.

Really have to say that this was a good show although some matches where meh. Other matches had me like wow. Davonni yoy had me really hyped for this and im still hyped. Awesome triple threat match. My fav match of the night was Undertaker vs Bray. Was really bloody.
I suck at reviews but overall i give this show a 6.5/10
Cant wait to see the aftermath of all these fueds.
