What's Buzz-worthy: This debut release follows the format of Road to WrestleMania with a base set made up of roster cards and highlights. How this one precisely works in tandem with that one in terms of the highlights is something I didn't examine and explore closely but I can say I'm not a big fan of the format -- at least not multiple times a year. While the good moments can make for good cards -- and I've even had some of those graded when it comes to debut moments -- when they aren't key times they can become repetitive and a tad forgettable (that's more on a reflection of what's happening in WWE more than anything Topps does here). The parallel cards are initially tough to pull out from the others but once you realize where the color is applied then you can spot them -- it's a busy design. There are logo patch cards in play here -- cards that may not be the easiest of the hits -- but I can say I wasn't a big fan of that one even though I landed one of the biggest names in WWE history. Hobby boxes include the biggest draw here -- autographs -- every time and the  set includes a number of the basic names you should expect here. The format and the look of this one just doesn't jive with my tastes this time.
