What's Buzz-worthy: This one is a bit different from its three predecessors in that it's dropped its colorful feel for one that's a bit more dark with an aesthetic vibe probably comparable to the designs we've seen for Topps' releases for The Walking Dead. This design works pretty well with the autographs and memorabilia cards, though the colorful parallels there seem to pop a lot more than the basics. The base set here is one that's smaller than past years -- just 50 cards with two 25-card base sets -- and while the base set shows us the notables on the current roster the inserts focus almost exclusively on legendary male stars from the past. The two sets are celebration the 30th anniversaries of both the Royal Rumble and the Survivor Series, which are two of the bigger annual events that aren't WrestleMania. The signers list here has a lot of previous signers but also a few new ones and this box showed us how parallels can make the names we've seen before a little more palatable. The Orange and Green parallels on basic cards and inserts should be found one or two times per box, while the Gold Bliss card is one found one in every 40 packs. The odds state that an auto-Relic and a Relic both fall one per box so the better pull among those is the Rollins Relic that's one in 187 packs (one in 19 boxes). The autographs here also over-delivered based on the odds with the Gold being one in 64 packs, the Blue one in 26, the Green one in 13. Based on the odds, the only guaranteed color would be Orange at one in seven. The names we pulled here, other than Cole, are relatively solid but have been found before so the parallels help make this a stronger box. This one's array of parallels makes it a top-grade box but it's also one that can be topped easily with the names. This one's solid there but doesn't have any of the top autos or deluxe pulls that are quite possible.
