WWE NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2014-12-26 10:24:28

For those of you in Canada, the WWE Network is free today until 12 PM.

TMZ had a piece on Sheamus buying a $55,000 Delorean. Thanks to Wes Jones.

There is a Total Divas marathon kicking off today on E! Canada running from 12 PM Eastern through 12/28 at 9 PM Eastern.

The next WWE statue being released by McFarlane Toys will be Triple H. Thanks to Jay Gunn.

Chris sent the following....I've noticed today that some people think that WWE has removed the 1995 episodes of WCW Monday Nitro from the Network. This is not true. For some reason, the drop down menu on the Nitro page displays the 1996 episodes even if you pick 1995. However, the 1995 episodes have not actually been removed, at least on the WWE.com web version of the Network. You have to access them via the search engine by doing a search for "WCW Monday Nitro 1995", but the episodes are still there and can be watched.

2K Sports issued the following:

2K today announced a new gameplay mode for WWE® SuperCard, the action-packed WWE collectible card game for mobile devices. In an update available now for download on iOS and Android devices, WWE SuperCard adds Road to Glory, a regularly scheduled mega-event that challenges players to win 22-card, all-out rumbles against increasingly difficult WWE Superstars. The mode also offers strong replay value through notable rewards for building the ultimate WWE roster.

Players can preview and familiarize themselves with the first Road to Glory event beginning today (Tuesday, December 23) at 2:00 p.m. PST. The active play period will begin in time for Christmas – Thursday, December 25 at 12:01 a.m. PST – and end on Tuesday, December 30 at 12:00 p.m. PST.

More details on Road to Glory, as well as other key features in the latest WWE SuperCard update, are as follows:

Road to Glory Basics: In a Road to Glory event, players begin at the Common rarity level and take on a series of increasingly difficult WWE Superstars. They will choose from a list of opponents with varying difficulties and whose decks have the rating of the Superstars. Each Road to Glory game uses a deck consisting of 22 cards (16 Superstars, four Divas and two Support) for both the player and opponent. A round begins when four cards are dealt to both the player and opponent. Players select cards they would like to play, and the highest stat total wins and gains a point. The player with the most points after four rounds wins the game;

Road to Glory Rewards: If the player wins a Road to Glory match, he or she receives points toward defeating the current Superstar, as well as six board picks. Losing will result in no points awarded toward defeating the Superstar and only three board picks. After a player gains the required points to defeat a Superstar, he or she is awarded that Superstar’s card at the contested rarity level and progresses to face a Superstar at the next rarity level. The further along the Road to Glory players get in the limited window of time, the more gratifying the rewards;

Enter the Ring with Bouts: Players use Bouts to play Road to Glory matches. A player can hold up to five Bouts at one time. Once spent, a Bout regenerates every 15 minutes. A player may also purchase either a single Bout or a full refill of Bouts;

Tag Team Diva Matches: Divas tag team matches have arrived in Road to Glory matches. The Divas will form alliances and have tag team preferences on their cards;
Higher Card Limits: Road to Glory raises a player’s overall card limit to 120 cards;

Game Improvements: The update includes minor bug fixes.
