Yeah I know, but isn't that what "spike tombstone- the young bucks" on that list is referring to? Or do they do another tombstone move?

I've been running +1 matches with this setup and winning 100% of the time - just be sure to only pick opponents with ~100 matches so you avoid others doing the same.



And then closing the app when it gets to the picking prizes so I can take them at Survivor+ tier.


Sadly I'm like only 20 points towards the first Reigns, so I'm not gonna be getting him by the end of this, but it's an easy source of exhibition prize picks.

Yeah, I'm having to do this too since I'm 20 points away from Survivor Flair. It sucks because I should theoretically be able to just get that with two 5 point matches and 2 title matches but nope, that's not happening. Stupid game.

hmm, just got my first legendary manager so i tried this out. Lowered myself to Rare tier but with an Ultra Lana and Legandary Heenan supports. Still seems like I was getting matched against Epic-tier (my "real" RtG tier) opponents though. Am I missing something?

This only works on +1 point fights, the +3/5 ones are based on your RtG progress rather than deck level. people using the same startegy can end up in this bracket too, so just back out and try again if the +1 opponent has like 10k exhibition wins rather than 100

VPW2 was so goddamn good. Buying it through an import company with the n64 region adapter made me feel so baaaaaaad. Translating the japanese through old gamefaqs made me feel like a sperglord though.

I loved the ramp leading to the ring. It was something No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2k was sorely lacking.

Let me know of any matches you'd like to see and I can make it so. I can go as low as TL Hopper and The Goon so most suggestions will be possible i'd imagine. I even have a third save with specialities such as Gobledigooker.

I tried it again and got two different Dan Spiveys facing off in round 2, having a trashy roster is the best.

This may or may not be correct.

I wish this game would stop giving me KOTR energy cards and stuff when I'm already at my max. Feels like a waste of a draw, though I guess with RTG on it doesn't really matter when I'm pulling six cards at a time.

Still, three energy cards in a row last time, ouch.

I've noticed that I seem to get blocks of KOTR boost cards despite having the maximum number of each boost already. So I'll play a bunch of games and get 5-10 boost cards then get 5-10 R/SR cards then another block of boost cards. I don't know if it's confirmation bias or a glitch in the RNG that determines what the reset card in each tableau is going to be but it's annoying as hell to keep pulling boosts when all I want is some cards I can use to level my team up.

On a positive note I pulled a random Epic Macho Man last night just after winning the same card in RTG so some good came out of spending all weekend playing Supercard.

I decided to check out Supercard for the first time in weeks to see this RTG thing. I try to play, and it says "Event Ended." Meanwhile, an "Event Over" countdown clock is still going for another day or so.

I'd delete this game, but my five year old niece likes to play it sometimes and point out how gross it is that you can see all the guys' nipples.

I often encounter what appear to be tanked decks in regular exhibition games. Is there any strategic benefit to doing this??

Also, does the level of opponent I pick in exhibition affect anything? Like sometimes I'll see belt icons that are one + level lower or higher than me. I go for the higher ones, but I'm still picking from the same board at the end of the match regardless right?

Yup, still picking from the same board. Also there's no strategic reason to tank your deck in Exhibition that I can see, since you screw yourself out of (potentially) better picks.

If your 5 best cards get you to a higher tier but you can't win any matches, you might want to sub out one to try and get more wins and thus more card pulls. Good if you're going for energy for KotR or desperately need feeders to level a new card, but otherwise probably not a great move.

I'm going to do the math to figure out how much I'd have to spend to get BNB because I am stunned they would give him a reward SV card. Hope he's actually getting a push, I love that guy.
