What's Buzz-worthy: It's literally been a couple years since I last found and opened one of these and with #BuzzMania6 set for Friday I figured I'd fill a slow Tuesday afternoon with a classic I have busted plenty of (too much) in the past. This one? It's closer to an average box but not deficient -- and there are some good names among the inserts and hits to keep it from a C. (Priest color is nice though the thin-stock wear is super-apparent here right out of a pack, while Otis is an A-list comedic talent as well as a beast ... though not a debut card.) I actually found two of these boxes -- one at close to its original SRP and then one a little higher but not uncomfortable -- so expect some fireworks on Friday when this one pops up. 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 really solid. I was glad to have found these, knowing that there will likely come a time where the boxes are nowhere to be found ... good or bad.

Product Grade: B+ (main set isn't my favorite ... but the roster set is an A+)
Box Grade: B- (closer to an average box but Priest color helped save it)
Fun Grade: C (see above)
