General tips
Regain
health: When a CPU opponent does a pin move outside, hold Analog-stick
Down to regain health. Note: This also works for human opponents, but
they can break the hold at any time.
Playing
possum: If you are knocked down or injure yourself, you can stay down
until somebody picks you up by holding the Analog-stick Down. This is
particularly effective if you stay down as long as possible, then release
the Analog-stick when your opponent is going to do a high flying move
to force them to hurt themselves.
Execute
opponent's finishing move: Wait until your character's Spirit is flashing. Then, hold A
for a grapple, then press A + B.
Remove
masks: Select a wrestler that does an Eye rake as a head submission.
Perform this move approximately five times when your opponent is on the
ground. Note: Taking a mask off will cause your opponent's Spirit to fill to
maximum.
Flying
opponent: Grab and toss your opponent when he climbs the ropes. Hold the Analog-stick
as he is flying through the air. Your opponent should stop in mid-air and do
a taunt. Then he will bend over and spin in a circle in the air. The only
way to get your opponent down is to hit him, by doing damage to him, or by
slamming another player, such as in tag team, four-player, or handicap
modes. If you do a grapple move to another player, the opponent in the air
spinning will do the same motion of getting hurt as the person you are
slamming.
Easy
special: Grapple your opponent (hard or weak) then press C-Down to
throw him to the ropes. When he runs back, press L to duck under
(heavyweights only) or to jump over (cruiserweights only) the running
opponent. The opponent will run back to the other side of the ropes and then
back at you. Press L again. You will notice that your special meter
is going up. Keep doing this until you get up to special.
Get in a tag match. Irish Whip
your opponent into his partner .When he approaches you, press L and
his partner will get hit again. Keep doing this until you get your attitude
meter up.
Easy
win against the CPU: When you are on the left side of the screen, grab and throw your
opponent out of the ring. Go outside, and run along the front of the ring
while your opponent is still down. Then, re-enter the ring from the right
side while your opponent is on the left side. Stay to the right side of the
ring and your opponent will be counted out as long as the 10 or 20 count is
selected.
Get up
from any pin: While CPU or human opponent is pinning your character, quickly
tap the Analog-stick Left and Right or Up and Down.
You can always kick out of a pin using this method. If your character is in
a submission, you will kick out most of the time fairly quickly, but
sometimes may have to submit. Note: This does not work on TKOs.
Getting
out of a submission: An easy way to get out of a submission hold is to hold the Analog-stickDown/Left for one second. Your character will always get out of the
hold and will almost never get counted out. Note: If you keep holding Down/Left
for a very long time, your character will submit.
Injure
tag team opponents: Select tag team and tag format. When an opponent is knocked down,
go to your other opponent, press A and keep tapping C. You can
also run into them. If you hit your opponent's head into the turnbuckle it
will hurt him even more.
Getting
items to hit your opponents: Complete all of the league challenges, including the world
tournament. Select exhibition mode and play against the CPU. Leave the ring
and reach for an item. Sometimes new items may be used to hit your opponent.
Easy
TKO: Select Kevin Nash in a singles match up. As soon as the bell
rings, run at your opponent and tap B. Your wrestler should do a
clothesline of some type. When your opponent gets up, hold B button
while moving. Your wrestler should be throwing a series of punches. Keep
doing this to win by a TKO. This is also an easy way to make your opponent
bleed if playing with Realism enabled.
Wrestle as Shaman and do the
Chokeslam (Strong Grapple, B) repeatedly until you get a TKO.
You should win in under two minutes.
Effective
tag move: Get your opponent in a Back Grapple (strong) and press R.
Get your partner to climb a nearby turnbuckle and jump. Make sure he is
focused on the wrestler you are grabbing. He will jump, do a clothesline of
some sort, and hit your opponent. This may sometimes knock an opponent
unconscious, giving your team a victory.
