What’s inside this box? Keep reading …
The history books of professional wrestling are packed with stories about families that took part in the traveling caravan turned international spectacle — a mere mention of names such as McMahon, Hart, Von Erich, Funk, Guerrero and so many more can mean so many names to those who know wrestling.
But there’s one name — Bevis — that might become a household name in the future thanks to a feature film that’s in the works and revealed this week from Seven Bucks Productions, which is a company helmed by Dwayne Johnson. He’s a third-generation wrestling star you might know as The Rock and he’s flexed plenty of muscle lately when it comes to entertainment ventures without ring ropes.
And who’s Bevis? Thats Saraya-Jade Bevis, a WWE star from England who’s known as Paige inside the ring and it’s her story — her family’s story — that’s being developed into a movie. (Finally, we know what The Rock is cooking.)

Like many collectors, Buzz is a fan of grading and knows that there are many reasons that collectors choose to slab cards. Sometimes it’s to enhance the appeal and protect them when selling. Other times it’s to protect an investment for the long-term or to protect for sentimental reasons. Or, it might be just for fun or curiosity about a potential grade.
For the first Grading Diary here on The Buzz, it will be a mix of cards graded for a few reasons.
The Card: 1993 Upper Deck #449 Derek Jeter
The Reason Graded: This was pulled straight from an underpriced factory set and looked very clean except for a tiny spot on the back — Buzz figured it might push into the high grades even with the gloss issue. These cards are also not easy to pull from wax or sets cleanly because the high-gloss cards often stick together, peeling away specks of paper. Another reason? This is an iconic card that’s worth grading if you own a clean one.
The Grade: BGS 9
| Grade: | 5 | 5.5 | 6 | 6.5 | 7 | 7.5 | 8 | 8.5 | 9 | 9.5 | 10 | Total |
| Population: | 24 | 20 | 65 | 124 | 334 | 761 | 1,314 | 1,579 | 806 | 307 | 3 | 5,360 |
Reality Check: The SP Jeter rookie is the one people chase, not this one. This one’s $20 on eBay — and perhaps undervalued considering how they grade on the pop report. BGS 9s and higher are really much rarer than people think.
Do you scratch them or do you save them?
World Wrestling Entertainment‘s premiere event is set for April 3 in Dallas and as part of the promotion for WrestleMania 32 the company has joined forces with the Texas Lottery to create a set of five $2 scratch-off tickets.
World Wrestling Entertainment has been known for some controversial moments in television history that included intense matches, risqué segments, countless “Stone Cold” Steve Austin middle fingers, exploding limos, Katie Vick and plenty more.
But this? This is just ugly.
WWE launched a line of ugly sweater-inspired sweatshirts on Friday, giving those gatherings a new twist on the trend of hideous holiday attire — a twist with some muscle and some attitude.
The WWE is getting super-sized when it comes to trading cards.
Topps is taking the Superstars, Legends and Divas found in 2015 Topps WWE and giving them the jumbo wall art treatment with pieces only available on Topps.com and four sets of 5-by-7 trading cards released by the company on Friday.
