What's Buzz-worthy: After not ripping into one of these past favorites for literally a few years, I managed to find one more of these on the cheaper side of things (but more than it used to be) and bit -- ultimately to get pretty average results but with some decent rarity and a good name in a couple spots ... just not anybody I was hunting for. It happens. Silver autos are one in 320 packs but he's not a value guy and the skinny stock is showing itself on both autos this time. Gargano ink is fine for a find but he's also not a dollars guy with a lot of signing ... but there's still potential if they ever give him the ball on the main roster. ... This release is loaded with names now on the main roster of WWE -- some on their first cards -- and then some who left and are over on AEW ... or have come back to WWE in the time since. This isn't a brand I'd pay a substantial premium price for the box now -- it's really only about the autos and the rest can pretty much be found on the cheap -- but it's got some good finds potentially inside (though some have softened since arrival) and that Roster set is still very solid. I was glad to have found more, knowing that there will likely come a time where the boxes are nowhere to be found ... good or bad ... and box prices that are higher will not make for fun results ripping here as there's just not enough beyond ink -- though five-auto hot boxes are possible.

Product Grade: B+ (main set isn't my favorite ... but the roster set is an A+)
Box Grade:
B (rare Silver auto saved this one from being just an average box)
Fun Grade: C- (Johnny Wrestling is a good find but not a money guy right now for box that wasn't super-cheap)
