What’s inside the fifth WWE Slam Crate? Find out right here …

The latest WWE Slam Crate is here and things are getting divided with “stables” taking the spotlight.

There aren’t any Four Horsemen homages here, but we do get a nod to The Four Horsewomen of NXT as well as some DX, New Day and nWo pieces this month.

The first crate arrived last year, the second arrived in December and the third one was fun, too, as was the fourth which introduced a new toy twist, but this newest crate arriving now gives us a continued approach to WWE toy collecting and plenty more.

Today’s the day Irwin R. Schyster — IRS — gets remembered most

Mike Rotunda was a prep wrestling champ, a varsity competitor at Syracuse and a professional  for more than 20 years, but today’s the day where one of his short-lived personas lives on.

It’s Tax Day — the day that Irwin R. Schyster, or IRS, might be remembered most. (April 15 was a federal holiday so today’s the day to get those taxes in.)

WWE & Texas Lottery join forces to create WrestleMania 32 collectible

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.

WWEShop autographs offer big bargains at smaller prices

One advantage that World Wrestling Entertainment has with its merchandise is that autograph signings with the talent don’t typically involve a middle-man or an agent — it’s part of the deal and the wrestlers get compensated for their signings.

As in a cut of their merchandise sales.
