— We reported last month that WWE had plans to release a Monopoly board
game. In an update on this, ToyNews-Online.biz reports that the game will retail
for $39.99 and feature 22 WWE Superstars and Divas. The train stations will be
replaced with WWE’s “big four” pay-per-view events – WrestleMania, SummerSlam,
Royal Rumble and Survivor Series.
— There are plans in place for WWE to stream their international live events
on the WWE Network. This means WWE will broadcast house shows when the company
heads overseas for tours. As of now, there are no plans to broadcast domestic
(United States) live events.
— During a recent interview with
TheAdvertiser.com to promote
next Tuesday night’s post-WrestleMania WWE SmackDown TV tapings, Kofi Kingston
said the following:
“It’s the season premiere of a whole bunch of different, new story
lines. The SmackDown and RAW after Wrestlemania are just awesome because you get
to be there and get engulfed in what’s going to be the road to the next
WrestleMania. They’re always jam packed. All the WWE stars will be there. We’re
going to do what we do and put on a great show, continue to entertain and feed
off that WrestleMania hype.”
