Long before Miss Congeniality reminded the world that April 25th is the "perfect day" I knew the day was special seeing as it is my birthday.
A birthday means guilt free card purchases so I picked up a couple of 2015 Topps WWE packs. The cardboard gods must have been shining down on me today because I received just about the perfect pack.
First up as base cards go we've got the upcoming WWE Championship match at the Extreme Rules Pay-per-View. Orton won't be able to use the RKO move and Rollins won't be able to get any help from The Authority as it will be a steel cage match. It should be an intriguing 20 minutes.
#70 Seth Rollins
#59 Randy Orton
Then the pack gave me possibly the most interesting female wrestler the WWE has had in quite a while..especially since A.J. Lee has retired.
#56 Paige
I also pulled a couple of Ric Flair inserts and a Santino Marella base card...nice but not exactly perfect...so what the heck was I talking about with this "perfect" stuff?
#68 Santino Marella
Crowd Chants "Woooooo" #8

But now let's get to what really made this pack amazing. A 1:187 packs
pull of a George "The Animal" Steele autograph! I've been looking for an
Animal autograph for a long time as he was one of my favorite wrestlers
as a kid but he was also a part of one of my favorite movies Ed Wood.
George played B-movie star Tor Johnson who was a leading actor in Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space. Tor, like George, was a professional wrestler before taking his turn in such classics as Bride of the Monster, The Unearthly, and The Beast of Yucca Flats.
WWE rookie cards? I've seen it all. Congratulations on pulling the Steele autograph.
