Japan’s Abyss Eye drops in just a few days (May 22), and the hype for English Pitch Black (July 17) is already pitch perfect. We’ve seen the four main Pokemon ex (including those shiny new Mega Evolutions), but the real chase cards ... the Special Illustration Rares (SIRs) ...are where this set could shine brightest. The Confirmed Hits So Far We’ve got early looks at some premium artwork, including a stunning Mega Chandelure SIR that’s giving major spooky, starry-night energy. It’s easily one of the early standouts for collectors. Trainer cards like Gwynn are also popping up in SIR treatment. But the internet is buzzing about something else right now... That Giratina Full Art – Roman Pillars and Legends Arceus Vibes Word is spreading about a Giratina full art (possibly around the /081 mark) featuring classic Roman/Greek-style pillars in the background. This screams Pokémon Legends: Arceus influence - think Distortion World meets ancient ruins, with Giratina looking absolutely menacing....
Friday Frenzy: April 10, 2026 – NBA/MLB Heat, Bowman Inserts Gone in Seconds, Walmart Bot Chaos, and WWE Demon Rising
What’s up everyone, it’s your guy here dropping the Friday April 10, 2026 edition. The sports world is wide open, the card game is chaotic, and WWE is officially in full “10 days until WrestleMania” mode. We’re locking in WWE coverage heavy for the next 2+ weeks straight as the biggest show of the year barrels toward us. Let’s run it.
Sports Action Right Now
Friday nights in April always slap and tonight is no exception. NBA regular season is in that final stretch where every game matters for playoff seeding ... multiple matchups on the slate with teams fighting tooth and nail to lock in favorable positioning or avoid the play-in. Over on the diamond, MLB is rolling full steam with a full card of games and early-season storylines already popping off. NHL is also delivering intensity as playoff races tighten. Throw all that on the big screen, grab a snack, and enjoy the ride while you wait for the real fireworks later in the night.
Bowman Basketball + Walmart Still Selling to Bots Only
The new Bowman Basketball release is officially out and the inserts are straight heat ... rookie parallels, Bowman GPK (Garbage Pail Kids), and those low-numbered chasers that make your heart skip a beat. We’re talking the kind of stuff you rip and immediately text the group chat about.
Except… Walmart is still selling to bots only. Packs hit the app and website and they’re gone in milliseconds. Shelves get cleared before most real collectors even get the notification. Same story we’ve seen too many times now: automated scripts feast while everyone else is left refreshing like it’s 2020 PS5 drop season. Walmart, we love you for carrying the product, but the bot situation needs a real fix before the next big basketball or Pokemon drop. If you somehow beat the bots and pulled something nasty, sound off in the comments ... I want to see the hits.
WWE Takeover Mode Activated - WrestleMania Preview
We’re two weeks out from WrestleMania and the product is on absolute fire. From here until the big show (and probably a little after), this blog is WWE-first. The storylines are cooking.
CM Punk dropped another pipebomb this week that had the entire locker room and every fan on social media losing their minds. Classic Punk zero filter, maximum impact.
In the women’s division, champion La Primera Stephanie Vaquer made a brutal statement, smashing Liv’s head straight into Roxanne’s in a moment that’s still being replayed everywhere. The champ is not playing around.
And the one everyone’s been waiting for: Finn Bálor is bringing The Demon back after a long hiatus to face Dom. The Demon character hasn’t been unleashed in forever, and pitting it against Dominik Mysterio’s chaos is pure booking magic. Expect this one to be a visual spectacle and potentially a show-stealer at WrestleMania.
These angles alone have the entire wrestling world buzzing. More deep-dive WWE breakdowns, predictions, and backstage notes coming every post for the next couple weeks at minimum... WrestleMania season is officially here. I'm trying to buy as many of these 2026 WWE Topps Chrome Mega Boxes as I can... I love the high potential autographs and buyback program.
Final Thoughts
Friday April 10 delivered on every level: live sports, fire Bowman inserts (if you could actually get them), and WWE storylines that have us counting down the days to WrestleMania. What game are you locked in on tonight? Did you somehow snag Bowman megas or get cooked by the bots again? And who’s walking out of Mania with the biggest moment in your eyes ... Demon Finn, La Primera, Oba vs Brock or someone else?
Drop it all below. I’m reading every comment.
Until next time ... keep it real, keep collecting, and get ready… because WWE is taking over this blog until further notice. Let’s go! 🚀
