Wrestlemania 2000

A Ton of Secrets for You

Stephanie McMahon

CAGE MATCHES

Hidden Cage Move
To take full advantage of the cage, your fighter can use a special maneuver. Grapple, then tap Right-C to throw your opponent against the metal bars.

Climbing
Keep climbing straight up, and once 'TAP' appears, repeatedly press Up and B to leave the ring. Alternatively shimmy across and perform an elbow drop.

Spider Man
Once your spirit meter is flashing "Special," your wrestler will be able to climb twice as fast.

What Goes Up...
Opponent escaping? Run and press B to hit the cage, then A to rattle it.

ROYAL RUMBLE

Brains are Better than Brawn...
You need to conserve your strength. Let your opponents fight it out among themselves and pummel the survivor into submission!

Easy Ring-Outs
Press A to grapple and hit Left/Right and Bottom-C to throw your aggressor into the ropes. Now press B to send him through onto the other side, following up with a strong attack.

Eliminating
The fastest way to succeed at Royal Rumble is to eliminate your rivals through "ring-outs." Pinfalls and submissions just take far too long.

Dropkicks, Uppercuts etc.
Knock your adversary onto the ropes and then perform a strong maneuver to send him flying straight over the top.

Or...
When you're both up against the ropes, throw your opponent to the other set, wait until he returns, then tap L to duck/jump and send him flying.

MULTIPLAYER

Reversals
Guaranteed to infuriate! Wait for the opposing wrestler to throw a punch and tap block as it hits. You can reverse most moves in this way.

Count Outs
These aren't real wins, but if you're desperate get ringside, just before the end, do a submission hold. Release with a second left to go...

Alternatively...
Face the entrance to the arena, and before count out, throw your opponent with Bottom-C and hop back onto the apron.

Mix 'n' Match
Using the same throw displeases the fans, annoys your mates and quite often results in easy reversals, so mix things up a bit.

Stolen Specials
Instead of using the stick, press A + B to perform your opponent's special move. He'll be furious!

Running Moves
Naturally, the computer has faster reactions, so use a charging clothesline, elbow strike etc. from short range for a surprise knockdown.

Weapons
Go to the crowd, hit Top-C, and grab a weapon. Hold B for a stronger attack or run and swing for a bit more damage.

Like The Real Thing...
Use punches and weak grapples to begin, building up to higher-risk maneuvers to avoid reversals.

Tree of Woe
Grapple in the turnbuckle, then press L. Your opponent will find this particularly humiliating. Excellent!

Team Up
To perform a joint attack, grapple, press L to get behind and Top-C to put your foe on your shoulders. Player 2 attacks from the air!

And there you have it. My kick ass Benoit creation. He has to have the
Canadian(Crippler) Crossface for his ground submission facing down, and

and the Multiple German Suplexes for his back special. His taunt is
where he runs his finger across his throat.
