For being almost 52 years old The Rock did great, I thought. The match was 45 minutes and he was fairly active in it.
He also took a fairly crazy bump through the announce table which was great to see.
Rock/Roman winning was absolutely the right decision because now tonight Cody has the deck stacked against him. I'm sending a chaotic, overbooked main event tonight, Backlash 2000 style.
The crowd in Philly was dire most of the night. I know it was really cold but still.
I thought Rock’s individual performance was good, better than expected. I just thought the match itself wasn’t very creative and wasn’t laid out well(understanding that Rock probably was responsible for putting the match together.)

The first 10 mins were weirdly laid out and awkward, but I think they settled into things and it improved after the bawled through the crowd.
Probably about halfway through Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins, and at work 50 minutes before I start. Will fast forward in between matches, and if something is rotten. Just don't have time later, but want to get through this.
McIntyre vs Rollins 4.5 stars 3 vs 3 (Kross vs Lashley) 2 stars LA Knight vs AJ Styles 3 stars US Title Match 3.5 stars Women's Championship 3.5 stars
Fast forwarded in between matches, and through some of the worst parts of the lesser matches. Just don't have time. So take the scores with a hint of salt.

The two night format has made it fun again, they were really in a rut for a while with those 7 hour slogs they were doing.
Still not a fan of the two night format.
I think 2016 was a good year. They had a great NXT Takeover on the Friday, with some rising stars (mostly experienced wrestlers picked up from other promotions, not built in the performance center).
1 American Alpha (Chad Gable and Jason Jordan) defeated The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) (c) by pinfall Tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship[24] 15:11 2 Austin Aries defeated Baron Corbin by pinfall Singles match[25] 10:43 3 Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Sami Zayn by pinfall Singles match[26] 20:07 4 Asuka defeated Bayley (c) by technical submission Singles match for the NXT Women's Championship[27] 15:25 5 Finn Bálor (c) defeated Samoa Joe by pinfall Singles match for the NXT Championship[28] 16:22
Then they had a HOF ceremony on the Saturday. Lots of events around town, lots of interviews and angles, and also other promotions had good shows that weekend and that day.
Then finally on Sunday you had a big Wrestlemania, with all the matches and all the titles (men with world, universal, ic title, us title, tag titles, women with one or two titles, celeb stars, maybe a special match (like The Undertaker or something like that, The Rock or Cena in the future), the whole show. Ok it could be a bit long, but a main WM show over two day takes even more time from my schedule.
A big Raw the next day with a crazy audience cheering for the heels and all that stuff.
The way it should be.

Top match feel between Roman and Cody so far. Nothing crazy happening so far. (that's a comment from me watching the match now as if it was live, not a comment after the match).
Becky Lynch vs Rhea Ripley - 3 stars Tag Team Extravaganza - 2.5 stars Mysterio vs Mysterio tag team grudge match - 1 star Uso vs Uso - 1.5 stars Women’s Triple Threat - 2 stars IC Title match - 4 stars Saturday main event - 4 stars
McIntyre vs Rollins 4.5 stars 3 vs 3 (Kross vs Lashley) 2 stars LA Knight vs AJ Styles 3 stars US Title Match 3.5 stars Women's Championship 3.5 stars Sunday Main Event 4.5 stars

Night 2 was very fun, much much better than night 1. The opening match was great and the cash in stuff as well, bayley-iyo was great, and the main event was wonderful.
