Fans of Making a Murderer have sent up a petition to send cleared Brendan Dassey to Wrestlemania.

The 27-year-old, who had been found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, second-degree sexual assault, and mutilation of a corpse of Teresa Hallbach in 2005 alongside his uncle Steven Avery, is set to be released from jail in the next 90 days.

And now supporters have set up a petition to send Brendan to Wrestlemania.

A peteition, set up by Matthew Kirk, says: "Dassey, now 27, was originally convicted of helping his uncle, Steven Avery, in the murder of Teresa Halbach but a federal judge has ruled that his constitutional rights were violated when he was grilled, without a parent or his lawyer present, at the age of 16. We ask that the WWE and Vince McMahon help make his dream come true and send Brendan Dassey to Wrestlemania."

It currently has more than 100 signatures but is set to grow in the coming days.

Milwaukee Federal judge William E. Duffin ruled to overturn the conviction on Friday with E!News claiming that he requested that Brendan should be "released from custody unless, within 90 days of the date of this decision, the State initiates proceedings to retry him."

The judge further ordered that "in the event the respondent appeals this judgment, this judgment will be stayed pending resolution of that appeal."

Supporters of Dassey are excited over the prospect that he will now be able to watch the Wrestlemania's that he's missed since he was sentenced to life behind bars.

One fan wrote: "Good for brendan dassey. his 'confession' was horrifying to watch, the sheer weight of the unconstitutionality crushing. hope he walks free (sic)."

While another added: "Brendan Dassey can finally watch WrestleMania."

"Couldn't be happier about Brendan Dassey's release. He shouldn't have been there in the first place," another Twitter user commented.

One elated supporter wrote: "Super happy to see Brendan Dassey will be released from prison! I hope he gets VIP treatment to Wrestlemania & like a basket of kittens!"

Photographer Hallbach went missing on Halloween 2005, with police confirming her charred remains had been discovered in a burn pit on the Avery Salvage Yard ten days later along with her Toyota RAV4, mobile phone and car keys.

Dassey's lawyer Steven A Dirzin took to Twitter shortly after the ruling to clarify the judgement.

He wrote: "It's TRUE. Federal court granted the writ. Brendan Dassey must be released or be brought to trial within 90 days.

"Court rules confession was not voluntary due to promises of leniency made by officers to Brendan. Judge also concerned abt. reliability."

Dassey confessed to her murder during a video-tapped interrogation by police, which he recanted in a letter to the judge and said he was pressurised into making the false by police at his trial in April 2007.

In March this year, it was reported that Dassey was unable to watch WWE's Wrestlemania event.

The wrestling superfan was devastated in March 2006 after his arrest meant he would miss the annual showcase the following month.

TMZ reports that, despite being moved to a new prison earlier this year, Brendan wouldn't be allowed to watch his favourite show.

He transferred to Columbia Criminal Institution in Wisconsin in January, and prison officials have told the gossip site that there is a strict rule against "violence, foul language and nudity for TV viewing".

Fans of Netflix series Making a Murderer will recall his main concern when he was arrested was that he wouldn't be able to watch the show.

In 2006, he was charged with being a party to first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse, and first-degree sexual assault after confessing to investigators, and he was later convicted in a separate trial.

He is currently serving a life sentence, and still faces more than 30 years before he has a chance at parole.

Speaking at the Stranger Than Fiction panel in New York, filmmaker Laura Ricciardi told Variety, there is so much more to come from the cases of Stephen and nephew Brendan Dassey.

She said: "From our perspective this story is obviously not over. It’s real life and (Avery’s and Brendan Dassey’s) cases are both still pending.

“We have no idea when the magistrate will make a decision in Brendan’s case. We do know that two potential outcomes are that the judge could order Brendan’s release or he could order a new trial. So we are on the edge of seats about that. "
