What's Buzz-worthy: I will bite on a mystery box easily -- and perhaps on a wrestling mystery box even more easily -- but these premium-priced boxes didn't even precisely deliver what they stated as basics (one had an extra pack) with the apparent mystery items in both being a slightly larger value pack. ... I sat on these for months now but saw a collector talking about this one so here we are. The boxes are big -- more than a foot wide -- but the contents of both of mine combined would together fill a blaster box with some room for more. (A bigger box is needed if the bonus items are blaster or hanger boxes as teased.) Had these been $19.99 or less (in some recent years, repacks with more than these were around $10) they would be fine but these stung a bit (and not in the good Sting way but he was in there) ... but I pretty much already opened all of these releases when it was all new so there's that, too. The prices on these boxes are not as high as they are for other more-traditional sports and there's likely a lot less of WWE stuff than other sports in reserves to make these repacks, but they were a miss for me ... but, that said, there can be returns here if you find something rarer, too. ... Sure, there are some names among my finds -- that's inevitable -- but this one ultimately didn't include anything that can't be found on the cheap and it was hitless and there wasn't even a serial-numbered card in the mix, either. For a beginner or a collector, it's still all good ... but this one was also hitless so anybody else would have perhaps been ready to rumble ... though these retail packs could still include hits -- just not that likely given the odds. Would I open again? Maybe ... but my first impression here was more Shockmaster than it was Stone Cold and not in any kind of legendary way. I'd be more apt to dabble with other low-end clearance-bin stuff first.

Product Grade: C (there's likely potential here with other items but my two were average ... at best)
Lot Grade: C- (what was in the packs didn't pan out this time)
Fun Grade: C- (see above)
