Mountain of a Man
-This affects the wording of Big All Over even when Big is in the Arsenal.
-The opponent may play hybrid Action: Set-up cards as Reversals. This is because Set-up is a sub-category of Action card, and the Reversal part is not considered a Set-up. EXAMPLE: An opponent could reverse Irish Whip with an Irish Whip.
-Vince cannot play the card titled No Chance in Hell as a reversal if Mountain is in play, since his Ability makes this card a Set-up. Other Superstars with abilites that alter cards to add the Set-up trait fall in line with this ruling, such as Stacy Keibler and Mae Young.

Set-Up
-A sub-class of Action card. There is no limit to the number of Set-Up cards you can have in your Arsenal as long as this does not break the maximum amount of cards in your Arsenal or Backlash deck. This overrides the normal limit to how many copies can be packed, unless a Superstar Ability specifically restricts some or all of this number. EXAMPLE: Spike Dudley and Trish Stratus restrict what Set-ups can be packed, while René Duprée and Test limit the amount which can be packed. (Note: Phenom does not restrict Set-up cards.)
-Superstar Abilities can add the Set-Up trait to specific cards. This does not change the type of card, only adding the sub-class to that specific card title.
-Unique Set-up cards are still restricted to 1.
-If a Superstar Ability allows a card to be played as a Set-up, blanking that ability will not prevent the player from playing more than 3 copies of that card.
-If one card title is a Set-up and another card is not due to Throwbacks, you may pack 3 copies of the non-Set-up in addition to the amount of Set-up cards.

Two Questions:

1.) Would Mountain of a Man prevent Big Show or Largest Athelete's opponents from playing cards such as Technical Monkey Flip and Technical Drop Kick as both actions and Maneuvers?

2.) Does Mountain of a Man keep Randy Orton from playing European Uppercut due to his Superstar Ability making them Set-Up cards?

-Thanks

1) Mountain of a Man will only prevent technical drop kick/monkey flip to be played as actions. because they are Strike/Action: Set-up thus they are only a set-up card when you use them as an action which is where Mountain of a Man comes in.
2) Yes, Randy Orton will not be able to play his European Uppercuts and Ego Boost alike.
As extra informatio, he can still play Fully Evolved: Only the Strong Survive as it says search as if it was a Set-up card not when you play it.
