Logan Paul breaks Guinness World Record after wearing £4MILLION Pokemon card around neck for WWE debut at WrestleMania
LOGAN PAUL marked his WWE debut by wearing a Pokemon card worth a record £3.8MILLION around his neck as he made his way to the ring.
The social media sensation made his WWE bow at the weekend on Night One of Wrestlemania 38 in Dallas, Texas.
Paul, 27, made a better than expected debut at the Showcase of the Immortals, but it was his rare Pikachu Pokemon card that stole the headlines.
The YouTuber rocked a 1998 Japanese Pikachu Illustrator card - which has been graded “Gem Mint 10” by PSA - on an expensive-looking chain.
And it's emerged the vintage Pikachu card - the most expensive in Pokemon history - is worth close to £4million.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Paul bagged the rare Pikachu in a trade that valued the card at £4,025,088.

He is said to have parted with a PSA 9 version of the card along with £3,051,820.00 to get his hands on the sole PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator.
And Paul last year to get his hands on the card - after five months of negotiation.
The card is only one of 39 in existence and is held in an $80k custom diamond pendant with a Pokéball bail.
Paul put on a solid display in his tag-team match with The Miz, whom he took on Rey and Dominik Mysterio with.

But he was betrayed moments after their victory over the Mysterios, getting a taste of the Miz's Skull Crushing Finale.
An elated Paul said of this WWE debut: “This is surreal. I cannot believe I got to share the ring with the Mysterios and also won the match.
“You know this is my first win. I can no longer say I’m the world’s highest-paid loser, that was my thing."
When pressed on the Miz's betrayal, saying: “I think it’s equivalent to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
“I’m still processing why The Miz betrayed me. To be honest with you, if I had to guess, he’s probably jealous.
"I was doing flips, I went off the top rope, I was doing cool s***.

“Put quite simply, he’s not capable of doing that s***.
"He’s older, he’s a little thicker. I’m young, I’m spry.
"He just doesn’t have it like me and I think he got jealous and decided to turn on me."
