I don't collect wrestling, but another potential "L" for Panini. Wouldn't bother me none seeing how lazy they are with their products.

Panini Sues After WWE Moves to Terminate Card License (sportscollectorsdaily.com)

I do collect certain wrestlers and I have been underwhelmed with the Panini effort.  Topps did a finer job with WWE but I gotta admit that Upper Deck has been doing a good job with AEW as well.

I love me some wrestling cards

I really like the Chronicles set, but Prizm is garbage regardless of sport. I'm hoping Upper Deck gets WWE, as I really like the AEW sets. But I'm sure it'll go to Fanatics. 

WWE license is going to Fanatics

My issue is these organizations moving to terminate licensing agreements early. I collect wrestling cards some and was underwhelmed by the Panini Prizm set...mostly because it is huge (still working to finish it). But that being said I believe that you honor your contract to completion then if you get a better offer fine but don't seek to end a contract just because someone else offers you more. I do think that Panini has a solid case for tortious interference by whoever is talking to WWE or any other contracted organization (NFL,NFLPA etc.). To me this is less about the quality or lake there of then integrity.
