Here, I took a pic for you.
What I do is use my swiss army knife and start cutting anywhere along the packaging where the plastic bubble meets the back carding. I slowly run the knife as close to the carding as I can without damaging the card itself, all the way around until the bubble comes off. If you don't have a swiss army knife, any sharp knife that isn't serrated will work. (eg. A paring knife)
I do this with all my carded action figures, not just WWE. I like to keep the back carding intact and looking clean for display reasons as well as in case I decide to sell. That way, the next person can enjoy the figure as much as I did and have it as close to being MOC as they possibly can even though the figure is loose. =P
Good luck!

^ Thanks for the tips! +1 I tried that before but the knife always cuts the carding in side Hahah I think you accidentally took karma away instead of giving one to me! =P And yeah, it can be tricky sometimes so you just need to find that sweet spot where the knife can run smoothly along the carding. Again, a smooth blade has to be used and not a serrated one otherwise it'll end up a mess.

I went to a Winners today and all there was in the small selection of toys was the EG Million Dollar Man for $5. Didn't buy it cause I already have it. I went to Goodwill after and found "WWF Superstars: The Music Videos" VHS. Randy is absolutely classic in it!

Hope fully I won't fail this time

Hope fully I won't fail this time I appreciate it man! I'm going to stop by a couple Winners here in Vancouver tomorrow to see if I can locate any WWE figures. What wave of Elites has been showing up in other parts of Canada btw?

I love this figure! Just about to take it out of the package.... Metrotown? BTW, it's Elite 7 and 8 found at Winners. I haven't found any on the Island yet. I've been trying to track down the Round 5 UFC 3-packs...

I've been trying to track down the Round 5 UFC 3-packs... Yep! If you leave the lower floor of Zellers that's connected to the mall, there's a store just outside to the right called Mind Games. 1 Bam Bam, 1 Rick Martel and 1 Akeem left. $24.99 each. And "OMG" to Elite 8! I'd love to get my hands on a Sheamus or MacIntyre for those belts they come with! Thanks for the info.

Went to C4 a little while back, picked up a few things and got to meet DH Smith. He's a great guy, very nice. Finally got a card relic for myself: a Drew McIntyre mat relic...a little disappointing. I grabbed a British Bulldog Legends figure at the comic con for $15, a Star Wars figure, a marvel statue and a few Mattel's of the non-WWE variety. I went to walmart and zellers the next day. I grabbed a flexforce Evan for sister that had the elite 8 head and I bought the Evan/JoMo rumblers to split with her.

I went to Minneapolis/St Paul this weekend. Didn't really buy anything noteworthy figure-wise, just blew my $1 bills on a few packs of WWE trading cards at Target. Didn't get any relics, how do you guys do it!? However, outside the New Found Glory show in St Paul on Saturday night, I met Hornswoggle outside the venue. I guess he's touring with the band, as he was on the stage with them during their set. Props to Hornswoggle for taking the time to take a picture with me, much appreciated.

Found all of Elite Series 7 at Georgetown Winners, picked up Cena cause I only had 15 dollars on me, $12.99 seems so amazing compared to $15.99, and with it being the WHOLE series...
Man I hope this continues.

Picked up the December 2011 WWE Mag. No luck for relics, but I got two 2011 card packs anyway. got a few new ones.
Also seen Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior at Zellers today. No Rock though, and they also had Legends series 4 minus Warrior.
