SUPERSTARS:

  Rob Van Dam

You can discard a Strike to play a High Risk at reduced fortitude and vice versa.

You cannot discard Chair Shot to both his ability and to the Van Daminator. (you do not get a -10F to play the Van Daminator)

Discarding a card to reduce the Fortitude Value of another card can trigger such cards as Brahma Bull.

  Lita

You can search for any card with “drop kick” in the title and this includes Lita's Drop Kick, but does not include Fully Loaded's Missile Dropkick (since "dropkick" in this case is one word, not two).

Only the card Drop Kick can be played for 0F using her ability.

  Big Show

Big Show's Superstar ability regarding High Risk maneuvers should read: Big Show may not have High Risk cards in his Arsenal or Backlash deck (this include High Risk hybrids).

You must discard two cards anytime you play a maneuver after you have played the first one in the same turn.  So the first maneuver, there is no penalty. If you want to play another one you must discard 2 cards. If you wan to play a third, you must discard 2 cards, etc… Note: using a Trash Can is the same as playing it and so he must discard 2 cards if it is not the first maneuver.

While he cannot play High Risk maneuvers, he can play High Risk hybrids and use them as reversals and actions.  (For example he may play the Flying Reverse Elbow as an Action.)

Since Big Show’s ability reduces Grapples to a maximum of 3D, you can use cards like Elbow To The Face, Clumsy Opponent etc. to reverse them.

Opponents may play Grapples that do more than 3D on Big Show; the damage will just be reduced to 3D - which will affect the playing of certain High Risk cards.

If Big Show takes damage from the Reversal part of a hybrid Grapple/Reversal, the damage is not maxed to 3. Also, a Rolling Takedown against a Grapple played by Big Show will not max out at 3 since it’s a Reversal doing the damage.

  APA

Their Superstar Ability regarding Actions should read like this: APA cannot have Action cards (including hybrids) in their Arsenal. Note: this means they can have it in their Backlash deck.

  WILLIAM REGAL

His ability to search for certain cards, especially the FACE and HEEL cards does NOT allow you to build an illegal Arsenal. The ability just allows you a wider range of searching depending on whether you build him FACE or HEEL.

CARDS and RULES:

Q: Can you explain how to use the Duchess Of Queensbury Rules in regards to the Count Out clause?
A: Ok, a Count Out happens at the end of any turn in which someone does not have cards in their Arsenal. So, if you have no cards at the end of ANY turn, and you are about to be Counted Out, you can place the card in the Ringside pile and shuffle any 8 cards into your Arsenal so that you won't get Counted Out.

Q: For TLC Match - do you have to leave room for Table, Ladder and Chair, and in your Backlash deck, or can they just be added in?  In other words, if you already have your 16, can you put a Ladder in there?  Or would you have to have only SEVEN Mid-Match to leave room for the Ladder?
A: You do not need to leave room. They get added to the deck and do not count towards the total.

Q: In a Four Corners Match with Not Done With Any Flair in the Ring, if I play my last Touch Turnbuckle, can my opponent stop me from winning in this case?
A: No, because the Touch Turnbuckle cards do not specify a Victory Condition: it’s the Four Corners Match that does. So Not Done cannot trigger.

Q: If you play the card titled Money Talks, BS Walks and the next card you play is your Trademark Finisher, can it still be reversed by When You Thought You Had All The Answers... (WYTYHATA)?
A: No. The text on Money Talks prevents the playing of a card from your Backlash deck and not really causing the Finisher to be irreversible.

Q: Does the Pre-match stipulation Not Done With Any Flair work only once, or as many times as opponent tries to win by a victory condition?
A: As many times.

Q: Can you play Here Comes The Money to reverse something like Brothers 'Til The End?
A: Much like Where Are Your Medals, you CANNOT reverse a Reversal unless it specifically says so on the card.

Q: If you play X-Treme Measures and your opponent Over Sells the maneuver that follows what happens? Can you even Over Sell it?
A: Yes you can Over Sell the maneuver and since your opponent’s turn ends without fulfilling the playing of a High Risk, he must discard his hand.

Q: If you have Torrie Wilson, On It! in play, and your opponent is Angle with Intelligence in play, can you put you whole hand under Torrie all in one go, because your hand is constantly being shown, or only once per turn?
A: Neither. You may put one card under Torrie when Intelligence first resolves. Since it is a continuous effect it does not trigger Torrie’s text.

Q: Can you play V.K.M's Patented Big Gulp as a Reversal when you have no cards in your hand?
A: Yes. You will “discard” your hand, though there is nothing there.

Q: How does V.K.M's Patented Big Gulp and Signed Contract From Linda McMahon interact?
A: Your opponent has to discard enough cards to equal the number of cards in his hand. So if you have 5 cards in hand, and your opponent 7, he will have to discard 2 to equal your 5. You do NOT discard cards equal to the number of cards in hand.

Q: Can you play Sustained Damage if you reverse from your Backlash deck?
A: No. While the card may suggest this, we are ruling that you cannot respond to an effect with two reversals.

Q: Can I use Sustained Damage to lower the damage a maneuver is doing from say, 8D to 6D, then reverse it with an Elbow from the hand?
A: No! However, if you OVERTURN an Elbow, it will reverse it. Note that Sustained Damage only works once you decide to let a card be successful and do damage to you. You then discard to lower the damage before overturning.

Q: If I use Sustained Damage to reduce a card from 7D to 3D, can my opponent follow up with a High Risk maneuver that requires a 5D or greater maneuver?
A: No, because the damage was reduced to 3D.

Q: Can you use Sustained Damage on irreversible cards?
A: Yes. It does not reverse. Note: it does get affected by fortitude modifiers to reversals, but not while in play.

Q: If Triple H had Cerebral Assassin in play, then discards his hand to power up an Half Hour Suplex, would Big Show take the full damage or only 3D?
A: Full damage. Cerebral would trigger before damage is finished modifying. By then, Big Show’s ability is blank.

Q: Is Cerebral Assassin’s effect continuous?
A: Yes. As soon as you have 4 or less cards in your hand, your opponent’s Superstar ability is blank. As soon as you have more than 4, the ability comes back.

Q: If I have 3 cards in my hand and 2 under Keibler's Cookies, will Cerebral Assassin trigger?
A: Yes, since the cards under Keibler do not count toward your hand size.

Q: Can I play Fortitude Surge in response to an Undertaker Sits Up or Kane's Return or other reversal that modifies fortitude?
A: No. You cannot reverse a reversal unless it specifically says so on the card.

Q: Can I use Cuz Stone Cold Said So to play Mania to ignore the Fortitude Value?
A: No. You cannot disregard any value on a card with the Restricted Modification Symbol. See the writeup for the RMS in a separate document.

Q: Do I put the 2 cards under Keibler only when I first play it?
A: No, you can place up to 2 cards while it is in the Ring. It cannot hold more than 2 cards though.

Q: If I have cards underneath Keibler's Cookies and I have to discard my hand, do I discard the cards underneath too?
A: No, they are only considered PLAYED from the hand, not part of your hand. (Meaning you have to meet the rules for playing such cards as if they were in your hand.)

Q: So can I play a reversal from under Keibler if it says it cannot be reversed from the hand?
A: No, because any card played in this manner is considered played from the hand.

Q: When playing Judgment Day, especially as Angle, is it the total number of Face and Heel or choose one?
A: You choose either Face or Heel.

Q: How does Trailer Park Trash interact with Kissing Up To The Stinkin' Fans?
A: Trailer removes the word “face” in Kissing to have the first sentence read as such: Reverse any Action card if it is the second Action played this turn OR if opponent has five or more cards in his Ring area.

Q: Can you play Little She Devil in a Two-Man Power Trip deck while playing in a single match?
A: Yes. Normally, you can only play TAG cards while playing in a tag match. However, this card states it allows you to play it if your Superstar says it can only play tag team title belts. And this can happen whether in a tag match or standard one-on-one match. Same goes for cards like Stackplex and other cards with similar wording.

Q: Can APA play Little She Devil?
A: No, since APA’s Superstar ability overrides the card: they can’t have Actions in their deck and this is an Action card.

Q: Can Spike Dudley play Test Of Strength?
A: Yes. Even though there is no printed number on the card, it’s not 4 or greater so he can play it.

Q: If my opponent plays Test Of Strength, can I overturn a reversal to stop the damage?
A: Yes.

Q: What if my opponent plays Test Of Strength and he LOSES! Can he overturn a Reversal to stop the damage?
A: No. You can’t play a reversal on your turn unless it specifically says so.

Q: Do you have to discard cards when you overturn a Psychotic Bump?
A: No. It is not a requirement to reverse the cards listed so you can ignore that effect.

Q: Can I play a Remove Corner Turnbuckle if my opponent does not have any cards with the words “touch turnbuckle” in the Ring?
A: Yes.

Q: What can I retrieve with a Billion Dollar Princess?
A: You can only get foil Superstar specific cards, like I Am The Game, Tree Of Woe, etc. (Note premium foils like Puppies! Puppies! cannot be retrieved as they are Superstar specific foils. You also cannot retrieve Superstar specific cards that are not foils like B.A.’s Military Press Slam, From The Bowery, etc. Note: non-foil promo card versions of Superstar specific foils, like The People's Elbow, and Crippler Crossface are retrievable with Billion Dollar Princess.

Q: Can Totally Bogus reverse Beer, Cards, And More Beer?
A: Yes, since Beer potentially allows you to draw more than 1 card.
