And To Think, Some fans Are Dumb Enough To Buy This- WWE Selling Dirt From Boneyard Match At WrestleMania 36
From the "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute" File, comes this, and fans will willingly spend money to get? Dirt, LMAO! Yes, some fans are indeed, this stupid. And unfortunately, the WWE knows this as well.
You can now own dirt from WWE's first-ever Boneyard Match, which took place as the main event of WrestleMania 36 Night One with The Undertaker defeating AJ Styles.
WWE Shop is selling a Limited Edition 15" x 17" plaque to commemorate the bout, featuring a capsule of dirt from where they filmed the cinematic match at.
There are just 536 of the dirt capsules, and the individually-numbered plaques are likely moving fast.
The $74.99 item can be pre-ordered now and will be in stock on Wednesday, May 13. Customers who qualify can pay for the item in 4 interest-free installments of $18.75 as the WWE Shop website has partnered with the Klarna service.

WWE Reportedly Open To Granting Talent Releases (Yeah Right, We'll See About That, LOL)
WWE talents who are looking to be released from their contracts may be able to get those releases as the company is reportedly still looking to make cuts due to tough times brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
It was noted by @Wrestlevotes how multiple sources report that WWE is willing to grant a release to "just about anyone" who makes the request right now.
"Basically if a talent wants out, they can go," wrote WV.
It will be interesting to see if anyone asks to be released during the current period of uncertainty. There was said to be a lot of fear within WWE earlier this month when they made company-wide cuts due to the negative business impact COVID-19 brought on.
