I enjoyed the show last night. I hope we get cards for it.

War Raiders over Undisputed Era - Card please. First War Raiders card
Matt Riddle over Kassius Ohno - Ehhh... I'd make the card because you can. First Riddle card, bro.
Johnny Gargano over Richochet - Card please
Shayna Baszler over Bianca Belair - Another ehhh match. I'd make it because you can. A shot of Baszler on the mat choking out Belair would be nice though
Tomasso Ciampa over Aleister Black - Card please

I suppose if I wanted cards for things I could do some legwork and help find images they can use. I might do that today if I can find some extra time between things.

I'm not at all looking forward to Rumble. I'm expecting a very boring night.

Shane O Mac is a true legend...
After all these years, I still love watching him wrestle.

The Rumble match itself was kind of lame.
No surprise entrant at all, except for maybe Jeff Jarret coming in at #2, and Nia Jax somehow becoming the #30 entrant.

I tuned in late and didn't watch Asuka vs. Becky Lynch, so might need to see that one later.
Internet was basically giving positive reviews about that match.

I was having a very hard time trying to stay awake the last 2 hours of the show.

Pretty good image selection overall.
Might need to buy some Asuka and Johnny Gargano cards for myself.
A mat relic would have been nice for an event like this, where we know so many wrestlers stepped on that ring in same day.

I got all the rumble cards. Really disappointing Miz/Shane didn't get a card, though.

I do like the card selection, although every card is just a victory pose. Would have liked to see some action shots showing the opponents as well to mix it up a bit!

It works differently for WWE. Jeeves said that WWE chooses the photos on these.

Yeah, I've noticed this pretty early on when the program started.

Some of the early day's images were awful.
Wrestlers walking down the ramp etc.
I mean, the Ronda Rousey this time is also before the match image, which we unfortunately see a lot of the times with WWE Topps Now.

WWE have their own line of products sold online (shop.wwe.com), so I suppose that is one of the reason that keeps Topps away from using any image they can.

Psst, Topps. Do a NXT card for the Halftime Heat match during Super Bowl Halftime.

Elimination Chamber tonight. Incredibly underwhelming card.

I imagine we'll see cards for
- Women's Tag Team Champions
- Women's Champion, so another Rousey
- Men's Champion, so another Bryan?

Wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be.

Bayley/Sasha Banks
Finn Balor
Ronda Rousey
Becky Lynch crutch beatdown of Charlotte/Ronda
Daniel Bryan

Really don't need another Usos card and they're in the news for the wrong reasons right now. Wouldn't be shocked if they drop the belts on SD this week or at Fastlane in 3 weeks.

A Kofi card would be cool. People would eat it up.

Taking the President’s day off, and probably posting on Tuesday.
Understandable move, but if it was MLB, they would have still posted the cards today.
So, that’s the importance level of WWE Topps Now for the folks in that office.

Now that I think about it, maybe the counterpart in WWE office was not available yesterday due to the Holiday, even if Topps wanted to make the WWE cards.

Hopefully, the cards pop up soon.
Though I'm pretty much out of WWE Topps Now already, I look forward to seeing the images.

I think Topps posted on their FB page that there won't be cards.

"Topps: Sorry. No Elimination Chamber cards are coming."

I was going to say if we don't see them by 7PM, then it is probably going to be tomorrow.
But wow, Topps confirming to be no cards at all for Elimination Chamber...

Maybe they felt that Elimination Chamber wasn't a big enough PPV
