Anyone who joins, post your results. I may be interested in this, but want to see what those who have tried it have to say.

I decided to sign up just to check it out. I'll decide after the first crate if it's something that I'll want to continue with. Hopefully I'm not disappointed with it, and I really hope it's not some type of a scam.

"Form" instead of "from" plus multiple punctuation errors. It's one thing when people make spelling and punctuation errors on a message board. It's quite another when they have them on the main page of a business web site. If they can't get the simple things right, how can you trust them to get the big things right? I would not spend my money on this. Sounds VERY shady.

Think about it logically. For $15 or $30 they are going to send you a crate of wrestling memorabilia. It is a "for profit" business, so how are they going to get the items that they put in the crate? Logical answer: they are going to fill the crate with close-out items. How else would they make a profit?
My guess is you will receive CM Punk & ADR elites, Sheamus & Mark Henry basics, and Rick Steamboat & Bobby Lashley Defining Moments. As for the "multiple POP! Vinyl figures", well, those closed-out at U.S. discount stores. It sounds like they are using the same distributors that are used by Big Lots and D.D.'s Discounts.
They show you no actual examples. Why? There are no actual guarantees, other than the fact that you will receive a crate with something wrestling-related. Why? If I acted as "security" for Matt Hardy at an indy show fourteen years ago, will he support my store and tell you to buy from me, site unseen? Well, that was easy.
Bottom line:
Until they show you the goods, don't send them your money.

Well, Matt Hardy advertises for them... I am quite the grammar/spelling Nazi, so that would make me cringe... but perhaps they have a great idea and wonderful business acumen, they're just poorly educated in terms of the English language? lol

Well, Nerd Block - also a subscription box - doesn't show the exact goods you're about to receive, but unboxing videos on youtube show great stuff. Sure there's stuff in it that makes you frown, but hey you can always sell what you don't want/need.

Sure there's stuff in it that makes you frown, but hey you can always sell what you don't want/need. Lootcrate, Nerdblock and especially Horrorblock are really cool, but a tad pricy when shipping is considered. Someone explained it to me though that it's like going to a holiday gift exchange. Someone vaguely knows your interests and t-shirt size and is going to give you something cool. It's a $30 price range. You take the easy route and just give your benefactor cash. And you get a box of assorted stuff. Some of the Nerd & Horrorblock stuff is pretty cool. Some of it is cheap junk. The t-shirts vary. As much as I like both of those concepts and Wrestlecrate as well, I can't validate spending $30 when I may not like the items in it. It's a lot easier to spend $20 on a shirt I love from Frightrags and pick out a Funko Pop myself. Or go to Walmart and find $30 worth of random stuff I like. It lacks the surprise, but whatever.

So the Ultimate Wrestle Crate, you have a higher chance to get something good? I am tempted but how do you unsubscribe? I know for nerdblock you send an email, I wonder if it is the same for this.
