Wrestle Crate UK is one of the leading pro wrestling boxes. This is a review for the larger (Ultimate) size of their UK version.
The Ultimate box sells for £25.99 GBP ($33 USD) including UK shipping. The smaller Standard box goes for £15.99 GBP ($20 USD).
The box arrived safely through Royal Mail, with a decent weight to it. As this was the first box in a new subscription, I also received a bonus item (which turned out to be an autograph).
The box comes with a four page information brochure with details about the items. It is printed on decent card. There’s also a voucher for a free month of Pro Wrestling Eve on Demand, which I haven’t included in the value.
Box Contents
X-Pac T-Shirt (Exclusive)
A good design, with the Degeneration X style colours and X-Pac in the centre.
I’ll value this at the T-Shirt standard of $10 USD.
Grizzled Young Veterans T-Shirt (Exclusive)
This is the tag team of Zack Gibson and James Drake who are making waves.
I’m not mad about the style, but I like the choice of purple for the T-Shirt stock.
I value this again at $10 USD.
Slider Puzzle
Presumably also an exclusive, although the brochure doesn’t say.
These are always fun to while away a bit of time.
I’ll value this at $2 USD.
Titus O’Neil Greatest Royal Rumble Meme Sticker
Had to include this as it’s a lot of fun, although I won’t specifically assign a value.
A great cartoon and the most memorable moment of 2018 pro wrestling so far.
Virgil Autograph
This is a bonus item for being the first in a new subscription.
An instantly recognisable wrestler if you’re of the right age. This is also printed on decent card.
I’ll use a standard autograph value of $10 USD.
Ric Flair Autograph (Exclusive)
This is the main item that was advertised in the box in advance.
An unusual choice of picture, you can’t too far wrong with a hand-signed Ric Flair print.
Whoo!
I’ll value this at $10 USD.
Lucha Mask Pin (Exclusive)
One of those items that has nothing to it to me, but the design is good, as these things go.
I’ll value this at $1 USD.
North Wrestling DVD (Exclusive)
Lots of British Wrestling names on here, including the likes of El Ligero, Jack Gallagher, Mark Haskins, Travis Banks and more.
I presume this is collected from a variety of events.
I’ll use a standard wrestling DVD value here of $8 USD.
Calling Spots Fanzine #27
This is a 44 page A5 fanzine, which is always good to read.
There are articles and interviews, mostly related to British Wrestling, including an interview with Austin Aries during a UK visit.
Based on the selling price, I’ll value this at $3 USD.

Box Review
Probably the strongest box I’ve had from Wrestle Crate.
I get $54 USD of value including the bonus autograph (or $44 USD without). In either case, this is well above the cost price.
The top item has to the Ric Flair autograph, but all of the main items have a decent value to them. Its always good to get different DVDs, there’s plenty to read and there are wearable T-Shirts as well.
Wrestle Crate Ultimate comes highly recommended. If you enjoy some sports entertainment, do check it out.
Wrestle Crate UK is still running. The subscription link that originally sat here now leads to all our Wrestle Crate UK reviews; current prices are in the box directory.
