Adam Tabb sent this item. … While at Gencon, I ended up playing the WWE Superstar Showdown board game, by GaleForce 9 games. When the game companies demo and sell games at the Convention, they usually bring some sort of "promotional" item which you gets some sort of added character, board piece, miniature, cards etc when you buy them there. They have 6 characters in the game, Daniel Bryan, Big Show, Big E, John Cena, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. The Promo was supposed to be Hulk Hogan as an extra playable character. They were not able to bring all of the items for the special launch of the game. They were told by WWE to pull the Hogan Promo character at the last minute.
