Hint: Interference:
Use the following trick to get someone to interfere in the match on your side. To do a run-in, select any wrestler and as soon as the match starts hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 for approximately three seconds. Continue to wrestle in the match and a wrestler will appear to help you if you are getting beat up or not. This works in single matches and works best with any Tag Team such as Faarooq, Bradshaw, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, New Age Outlaws, or any DX member. Interference must be enabled at the match options screen.

Hint: Be friends with different people:
In pre-season talk to someone under the medium or hard difficulty setting. Then, set the difficulty level back to easy or another setting.

Hint: Easy belts:
Create a PPV and set a match for any belt. Put the wrestler you want to have the belt in the first place and put the wrestler with the belt in the second place. Set the match for P1 vs. P2. Play the match and do not have anyone using the controller two. This will allow you to easily defeat the wrestler with the belt.

Hint: Hold all belts:

Information in this section was contributed by J.H.

Hint: Easy five star ability for moves - skill:
When creating a wrestler, set all your moves from Grapple to either Power/Techinical/Rough/Speedy . Make sure you only have one type (in the following example they are all Power). Make sure you use a lot of Power moves in the matches while you are in pre-season mode -- keep doing Piledrivers and similar moves). After a few months you will acquire the skill "Power/Speedy/Tech/Rough Skill +" . This automatically sets your skill to 5 and letting you choose any move you wish from that category.

Hint: I Quit win:
For I Quit win, grab the mic and press Circle when your opponent is flat on the ground.
Information in this section was contributed by J.H.
Play as Chris Jericho and do the Walls Of Jericho. Then get the mic, go right next to your opponent and press Down, Circle. Note: This may need to be done a few times.

Hint: Pre-season "I Quit" match:
When playing pre-season, if you lose the match to Mankind, you will have to fight The Rock in an " I Quit" Match at Survivor Series instead of the tag match against Edge & Christian.

Hint: Tag Team win:
This trick can only be done in a tag team match -- make sure you are allowed to get out of the ring and are controlling player one. Get out of the ring, and lure your tag team partner over to the opponent's tag team partner. Let your partner fight your opponent's partner, then quickly get in the ring and pin your opponent to prevent him from stopping the 3-count.

Hint: Continue Royal Rumble after you have been eliminated:
Just wait until another wrestler comes to the ring with their name bar where yours was located (top left for player one, top right for player two, bottom left, bottom right) and press Select. You will now control that wrestler.

Hint: Easy Royal Rumble:
Note: This trick requires a multi-tap. Plug extra controllers into the multi-tap and start a Royal Rumble. As the other wrestlers come in, press Select on the other controllers to make them stand still. This may take a little longer, but you can win the Royal Rumble easier.

Instead of fighting all the wrestlers one by one, wait and throw the first three wrestlers out. Then, wait at the top middle of the ring for the rest of the wrestlers to come out. Throw the rest out one by one until all have been defeated. Note: This tends not to work on under the hard difficulty setting, as the wrestlers will counter too much.

In Royal Rumble, get rid of the first three opponents within ten seconds. When the next person runs in, immediately slide through their legs. Press Circle, then hold Up until your opponent is facing up. They should go over the ropes. If they hang on, just stamp on them. If they jump over your head to counter your slide, bounce off the ropes and press X to hit them down. Then, pick them up and Irish Whip them out the ring.

When a new player enters the ring, press X and Irish Whip him over the rope. Do not try throwing him out without hitting when he comes in -- 99% of the time he will reverse it and throw you out.

Hint: Easy two-on-one matches:
At the beginning of the match, quickly do a move to one opponent, then punch the other one. After that, run outside the ring and one man should follow you. You now should have an easier time beating one man up at a time. Be sure to watch your other opponent in case he or she comes to attack you.

Hint: Easy pin:
Play as Stone Cold and whip your opponent into the corner. Start punching him until he falls down. Pick him up, press L2 to give the taunt, and deliver the Stunner (Left + Circle). If you hook one leg there is a better chance that he is not going to get out of the pin.

Hint: Gain strength faster in survival matches:
Taunt the wrestlers very fast outside the ring to get a dot or more.

Hint: Easy S. Referee win:
To win a S. Referee match quickly, make your opponent hit the ref. You can do this by walking around the ref until your opponent hits/slams him or her. After you do this the ref, will take sides with you and help you win the match. He will count fast every time you pin your opponent and when your opponent is outside. Note: Do not hit the ref, or he or she will side with your opponent.

Hint: Switch to fight other opponent:
When fighting Royal Rumbles, Battle Royals, 3-way dances, or any other match with more than one opponent, press R2 to fight the other opponent.

Hint: Keep season mode titles from changing hands:
Simply take the people that are eligible for a title in season mode out. In some cases such as the Tag Title or Hardcore, you cannot do this because there are too many people, However, this works well with the WWF Heavyweight title and the Women's title.

Hint: Reveal finishing moves:
To reveal any wrestler's finishing move, select an "I Quit" match. Scroll through the wrestlers to see their finishing move.

Hint: Character traits:
After completing most pre-seasons, and throughout them, you will be shown notes such as Wealth+, Kane+, and Royal Rumble-. When creating a new wrestler, use one of these secret traits under "Characteristics" to get the aid of the more powerful wrestlers such as the Undertaker, Kane, and Austin. This is helpful when you are ready to create the ultimate undefeated wrestler once you have won pre-season and finished season.

Hint: Different character traits:
Instead of going through a pre-season and attempting to win every match, vary who you win and lose to in each pre-season. Almost every time you will get at least one new character trait. Winning the Royal Rumble will often unlock Royal Rumble+, making it more likely to slide under the ropes when getting thrown over. Getting eliminated first will get you Royal Rumble-.

Hint: Al Snow+/-:
Go through pre-season in normal mode. After the Royal Rumble, Big Boss Man will attack Al Snow. Your created wrestler will come in and attack Big Boss Man and save Al Snow. After the next match CPU vs. CPU, Al Snow will approach you. Answer "Don't worry about it" for Al Snow+ or "Don't get any ideas" for Al Snow-.

After winning the match, the game will show Paul Bearer and a randomly selected wrestler standing below The Undertaker's symbol celebrating the Undertaker's ceremony.

Hint: Slam opponent into crowd separator:
When near the crowd separator, whip your opponent into it, but hold the direction you whip them. If done correctly, your wrestler should your opponent's head and slam it into the crowd separator.

Hint: Ball Breaker on the post:
Note: This is a difficult trick to perform. Throw your opponent to the any of the four posts, but make sure they are standing towards you or has their head on the ring post. Once this is done, get out of the ring as quickly as possible and grab your leg of your opponent that is closer to the post. If done correctly, your opponent will fall and your wrestler can perform the Ball Breaker.

Information in this section was contributed by J.H.

Hint: Face opponent's back when picking up:
Press Circle(2) when picking up your opponent. This is useful for wrestler such as Road Dogg when performing a finishing move.

Hint: Fast special:
Repeatedly press L2 (taunt) in a match to gain quick power instead of waiting for the taunt to finish.

Instead of beating the other opponents up until you get your special move, continually throw your opponent out and press the L2 (taunt). Do not wait for the taunt to end -- just rapidly press it.

The following strategy with Steve Austin can be used to fill up the red bar and gives you a finisher when it is filled. Keep doing the Austin Elbow Drop (Right + X) when someone is on the mat to fill up the bar.

Hint: Do special without using a dot:
When your meter says "Smackdown", instead of pressing L1 press Left + Circle. Note: This does not work for all wrestlers -- sometimes they will just do a special move.

During a Hard-Core match, you can fight backstage by irish whipping your opponent up the ramp by pressing Circle.

Hint: Winning handicap matches, 3-way dance, and 4-way dance matches:
These matches can be very frustrating in pre-season and season modes because when you are trying to pin someone, the other participant(s) will break the pin. An easy way to win this type of match is by KOing your opponent. Simply beat up your chosen opponent and keep on beating him until you have a green dot. After that, you can KO him by using your finishing move. Sometimes, it may take two to three attempts before your opponent can be knocked out.

If you try and pin in one of these matches, the other wrestlers in the ring will usually break you out. They cannot break you out of a submission or a special move. If you do a special move and the victim does not get KOed, beat them up a bit more then try a submission. Usually it is a good idea to take someone outside of the ring to fight and fend off anyone else who wants to take a shot at you -- but let them attack the other participant if they want.

Hint: The Smack Down Hotel:
In a 3-way dance, use The Rock or a created wrestler with the People's Elbow and a friend who has the standard Falling Head Butt move. When you both have the opponent ready on the ground, have one wrestler in position to do the Falling Head Butt between the legs as the other has the People's Elbow revved up and near the end of the fall. Start the fall with the head butt. If done correctly, you both should fall and land at the same time.

Hint: Created wrestler: More moves:
Simply put your skill to a higher setting to get more moves for a created wrestler.

Simply edit the "Fighting Style" to "Powerful", save and exit, then go to "Ability". Increase "Powerful" to level five, then save and exit. Go to "Moves", insert all the desired moves, then save and exit. Go to fighting style again. Repeat those steps to set "Technique", "Speedy", and "Rough Neck" just like "Powerful". For example, once you change the "Ability" from "Powerful" to "Technique", the level for "Powerful" will reset -- but you still have those moves you have selected. You could not edit again because the moves for "Powerful" are dimmed. (If you want to select the moves for "Powerful" again, then you have to set the "Ability" to "Powerful' again). Try to set all the moves before changing (for example, "Powerful" to "Technique"). Although this is cumbersome, it is worth the effort to have all the higher level moves when you create a superstar.

Complete every match in the pre-season with a created wrestler. You will get the level five moves. For example, for a "speedy" wrestler you will get The People's Elbow, Senton Bomb, and more. For a "powerful" wrestler you will get the Full Nelson Slam, Tombstone Piledriver, and more.

Hint: Created wrestler: Pull off elbow pads:
Use the People's Elbow as a finisher to have a created wrestler pull off his elbow pad. If your created wrestler does not have elbow pads, one will appear when the move is used.

Hint: Created wrestler: Appear with the Godfathers Ho's:
Set your created wrestler's ring entrance to The Godfather and he will appear with the ho's.

Hint: Created wrestler: Socko taunt:
Use the Socko taunt as part of your created wrestler's moves to pull Socko out of your sleeve by pressing L2. Remember to choose the Mandible Claw to have some fun with Socko.

Hint: Created wrestler: Explosive intros:
Custom wrestlers can have a fiery explosion during their intro if they have their character entrance set to Kane, regardless of movie.

Hint: Created wrestler: Evil entrance:
When creating a wrestler, use Al Snow's entrance move.

Hint: Created wrestler: Longer theme music:
When creating a wrestler, use the Stonecold Special as your winning move.

Hint: Created wrestler: Morphing hands:
When creating a wrestler, pick the last shirt. When you start a match your hands will morph into different forms as you fight, taunt, ect.

Hint: Created wrestler: White eyes:
When creating a wrestler, use Undertaker's head and entrance. When your created wrestler appears, his eyes will roll back leaving them white.

Hint: Created wrestler: Special taunts:
Create a wrestler and give him/her a special body and they will do a special taunt. For example, create a wrestler with the metallic body and Austin's taunt. When you do the taunt, his arms will turn into large spikes instead of using fingers. Create a wrestler with the metallic body and give the D-X taunt. When you do the taunt, his hands will turn into big round stones.

Hint: Created wrestler: With on all fours double team:
When creating a wrestler give him/her the On All Fours taunt. Start a handicap match with a friend. When your opponent is in the corner, taunt. Your created wrestler should get on all fours. Have your friend run towards you. Your friend's wrestler should jump off your back. While in the air press X or Circle to do a double team.

Hint: Created wrestler: Rock Bottom through table:
Select the Rock Bottom for one of you ready moves. Then, throw your opponent on the table and execute the move.

Hint: Avoid recreating custom wrestlers:
When you have finished creating a wrestler, you cannot re-edit their profile (name, age, gender, entrance, etc.). Be careful with those entries, or you will have to recreate that person. However, you can edit everything else.

Hint: Create a team:
Create two, three, or four players in "Create A Superstar" mode. Get them all through the pre-season mode. Then go to a new regular season, and choose one or more of the created wrestlers. Then the game will prompt "Are You Sure?". Choose "Yes". A screen with "Solo, 2-Person Team, 3-Person Team, and 4-Person team" will appear. You will be prompted for who will be in this team, and what the name will be. The created wrestlers will appear with that name in tag-team matches during the season. This is especially useful when creating Too Cool, The Radicals, and any other team that is not already in the game. Note: In order for this to work in exhibition mode, you must save your season.

Hint: Best moves in Creating a Superstar:
For the best moves possible when Creating a Superstar set your character's ability points as follows. Keep the Attack and Defense at 1. Keeping them down enables you to get high skill points, which corresponds to "Level" when select moves. Note: You must create the wrestlers; if you read what it says after you complete the certain year it states "You are now able to CREATE etc".

Hint: Create the Ultimate Superstar:
If you want to create a strong Superstar, go to pre-season mode and unlock many the character traits. When you have some that you want to use with a created wrestler, use them for things like Degeneration-X+ or other good wrestlers. Also, use other items such as good in matches or good moves. After setting the traits, complete a pre-season and your Superstar will be very good.

Create a Superstar with maximum weight and height. Set the Power Skill to level 3 or higher, and Power Attack to level higher than level 3. Have Bearhug as your superstar move. When fighting in a match, keep doing the Bearhug as many times as possible, and other moves such as the Anklelock, Boston Crab, and Camel Clutch when your opponent down. Your opponent will give up immediately within 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Hint: Post your opponent between the legs:
You can post your opponent between the legs on the ring post. Get your opponent in the corner, then slip out of the ring. Get positioned behind or in front of him, depending on the throw, then quickly press Circle to grab the nearest foot.

Hint: Double-Team Springboard Plancha:
Select either the Hardy Boyz or Edge and Christian. Set your opponent up in the corner, then move one of your wrestlers a few steps in front of him. The other wrestler should be a couple steps behind him. Press L2 for the wrestler in front and he will squat on all fours. Press Triangle for the other wrestler and he will run on and jump off his partner. If you press X in the air, he will land on his opponent. Note: Your opponent does not have to be in the corner, but it just looks better.

In a Royal Rumble when an opponent is caught in the ropes, you and a friend can use the Double-Team Springboard Plancha to knock him out. Note: You must have a wrestler that gets down on all fours as a taunt to do this.

Hint: Double Senton Bomb:
Select a Handicap Match and set it up as 1P and 2P vs. Com. Have a friend be player two. Select the Hardy Boyz for players one and two, and anyone else for the CPU. Beat up your opponent badly, until Jeff Hardy has a green dot. Then, slam your opponent face-up in the middle of the ring. Both players one and two should climb up on the turnbuckles opposite each other. Have the player controlling Jeff press L1, and the player controlling Matt press X at the same time. If done correctly, they will perform a Double Senton Bomb and will score an easy victory.

Hint: Perfect Senton Bomb:
Irish Whip your opponent into the turnbuckle so he bounces off and lays on the mat. Then, climb the turnbuckle and execute the move.
Hint: Mr. Socko:
When you are about to do Mankind's special, press Down + Circle to get out Mr. Socko. When you do Mankind's special your opponent should give up right away.

Select Mankind and taunt by pressing L2 + D-pad. Mankind should take out Mr. Socko.

Hint Leap frog:
To do a leap frog, have a large amount of distance between you and your opponent. Face your opponent's back. When it is turned, hold Triangle then press Square. If done correctly, you will leap frog over and continue to run. Then, you will bounce off the ropes. Use your desired run attack move to destroy the competition.

Hint: Baseball slide:
Have your opponent face to face to slide under their leg. Have a large amount of distance between you and your opponent. Run while holding Triangle then press Square. This works best with the turn around move from behind for a good looking finish.

Hint: Jeff Jarret's hidden taunt:
When creating a wrestler give him/her the "Peace Sign" taunt. When you taunt, it will be Jeff Jarret's taunt.

Hint: Too Cool Sidestep:
Create a wrestler and select "Peace Sign" as your taunt (Jeff Jarret). Start a match and repeatedly press L2. Although slow, it looks like Two Cool's Sidestep.

Hint: Dragonrana:
This is a Hurrancana off the ropes. Set up the move so your opponent can stand still, then pull it off. If done correctly, you will get a pin.

Hint: The Worm:
When creating a wrestler such as Scotty Too Hotty or any other wrestler give them the "Peace Sign" taunt and the Austin Elbow Drop. When doing the move, press L2 to taunt a few feet away from an opponent on the ground, then execute the Austin Elbow Drop.

When creating a wrestler give him/her Edge's taunt and The Rock's taunt where he does the hand motions. Then knock your opponent down, back up a few steps, and do Edge's taunt. You should crawl towards your opponent. Then do The Rock's taunt when next to your opponent, and finish off with an Austin Elbow Drop.

Hint: Diving Fame Asser on a running opponent:
You must have the Diving Fame Asser for this trick. First, lure your opponent into a corner. Then, whip him/her into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Immediately climb the turnbuckle that your opponent was closest to after bouncing off the ropes. As soon as your opponent rebounds off the ropes and starts running back, do the Diving Fame Asser. Timing is the key, and it will take a few attempts to do this. Of course, you can only do this in the ring.

Hint: Double People's Elbow:
Select a 2-on-1 match playing as The Rock and a friend as Mankind. Get your opponent on the ground. Press L1 to perform the People's Elbow. When he starts running, have your friend start running as well. When your friend gets to the fallen opponent, have him/her press L2 to jump over the opponent. When The Rock starts to fall down for his Elbow Drop, have your friend do Mandkind's Elbow Drop. Note: This will work with any wrestler who has a standard elbow drop.

Hint: Fake People's Elbow:
Create a wrestler with The Rock's People's Elbow taunt and an Elbow Drop as one of his moves. This is hard to perform since your opponent will stay down for long. Go by a fallen opponent's head, do the taunt, run to one set of ropes, and press L2 to jump over your opponent. Then, when you bounce off the other side, wait until you stop at your opponent and do an Elbow Drop.

Hint: Setting up The People's Elbow:
When playing as The Rock, perform a Scoop Slam if your opponent is not groggy . After slamming them onto the mat, their head will be facing towards you. If the Smackdown! Meter does not appear, perform more Scoop Slams until the Meter is active.

Hint: Alternate Anklelock:
If you do not like the way Shamrock executes the Anklelock (he performs an Armbar then goes to the Anklelock), just create a wrestler with the Scissor Sweep in ready moves and have the Anklelock (not Shamrock Anklelock) in ground moves. To execute the alternate Anklelock, just perform the Scissor Sweep and then do the Anklelock before your opponent can move. You have a better chance of doing this if your opponent just received a brutal shot (for example, the Diving Fame Asser on a running opponent). You can do this "combo" anywhere.

Hint: Hidden Elbow Drop off the side of the cage:
Climb the side of the cage and, when you are about half way up, hold Back + X to drop the elbow. This can be done if your opponent is standing or knocked down.

Hint: Test Diving Elbow:
If a Test or a created player lands the "Test Diving Elbow" correctly, it will result into a pin. This works as long as your opponent is face up and a reasonable distance from your wrestler.

Hint: Slam opponent's face into cage or barricade:
When your wrestler is backed up the cage or barricade press Circle(2) to slam your opponent's face into the cage or barricade.

Hint: Boomerang bulldog/Face crusher:
Throw your opponent in the corner. As he falls, press Triangle to run then press Circle to Bulldog/Face crusher the opponent.

Hint: Throwing your opponent's head on the guard rail:
Simply throw you opponent to any part of the guard rail. After he or she hits, throw he or she again, but press L1. If done correctly, your opponent's head will be thrown to the guard rail.

Hint: Catapult power:
If you are playing with a friend in a handicap match, you can press Circle to throw your opponent into your partner and do any number of rope moves (such as the Back Drop, Power Slam, Side Walk Slam, Tiltawhirl Slam, Monkey Toss, Ready Clothesline, etc.)

Hint: Catapult of pain:
Using catapult power with a friend in a handicap match, have your friend go to the top rope. Irish Whip the opponent to your friend. When he is set, deliver a Missile Drop Kick or other effective move.

Hint: Mankind's chair attack on The Outlaws:
During pre-season mode, if you are confronted by HHH he will give you advice. If you tell him to shut up, you will be attacked by DX later and Mankind will come to the rescue with a chair to help you out of trouble.

Hint: X-Pac's Running Leg Drop:
Have your opponent on the ground on one side of the ring (or on the ground anywhere) and press Triangle to run. When you get to the center of the ring press X (Bronco Buster). It looks like his Running Leg Drop.

Glitch: Easy cheer:
When in a False Count Anywhere or I Quit Match, pick up a weapon and keep pressing X. The crowd will go wild even though your hitting thin air.

Glitch: Anywhere match:
When in an Anywhere match, you will fight in the locker room, parking lot, boiler room, etc. After the match is over, you will be shown celebrating in the center of the ring.

Glitch Cage match:
Wrestle a cage match. After one man climbs out and is declared the winner and is celebrating, the loser will disappear from the ring.

Glitch: Ken Shamrock walks in like a girl:
Create a female wrestler and begin a pre-season. When Chyna asks you to beat up Shamrock, answer "Yes". When the game shows Shamrock coming in from backstage, he will be walking like a girl.

Glitch: The Rock's invisible elbow pad:
Use The Rock as a guest referee and have him do the People's Elbow. He will take off the elbow pad and throw it in the crowd. If the move is repeated, he will take off the elbow pad again (which was already thrown) and throw it in the crowd.

The second time or later time that you do the People's Elbow with The Rock or a custom wrestler with his moves, he will not have an elbow pad but still does the motions of taking it off.

To avoid the People's Elbow when playing as The Rock do one People's Elbow and if it does not KO the opponent or you do not pin the opponent for a three-count, use The Rock Bottom as a substitute when you are ready to go for the pin.

Glitch: Stephanie McMahon's big bat:
Create Stephanie McMahon. There are certain instances in the game where it looks like she is holding a 10 foot bat. You see this in Hard Core matches, when she is using the Eye Rake, and whenshe is tossed over the top rope. Note: This 10 foot bat cannot be used as a weapon.

Glitch: Stop The People's Elbow:
This can happen only in a 3-way or 4-way dance match. Have The Rock pummel another wrestler bad enough and when he is about to perform the The People's Elbow, face him. When he starts running to one side of the ring, run after him and press Circle. You will give him a Bulldog -- or wait until he turns and hit him with a clothesline.

You can also stop The People's Elbow in a Battle Royal match and in Handicap matches. Your opponent can do something to you before The Rock drops the elbow.

Another way to stop the People's Elbow is to attacking the wrestler who will get People's Elbow drop -- do it before The Rock drop his elbow.

Do a move on the wrestler laying on the mat.

Glitch: Flying Elbow pin:
If you have the Test Flying Elbow and you KO your opponent, he will still pin him. Note: Any wrestler that has a finsher that goes into a pin will do the same thing.

Glitch: Hook one leg during pin fall:
If you go for the pin near your opponents legs, you will hook one leg during the pin fall.

Glitch: Debra's outfit:
Get a friend to play against you. Select Debra as you wrestler, and any other wrestler for player two. Have player two make Debra fall on her back with her feet towards the screen. Debra will seem to have nothing on under her skirt.
Play as Chris Jericho with Debra as an opponent. Use The Walls Of Jericho on her and if the camera moves in the right direction you will be able to see her underwear.

Play as the Undertaker with Debra as an opponent in a single match with knock outs on. Get the Undertaker to do the Tombstone on Debra. If she gets K.O.'ed the camera will pull out and allow you will to see Debra's underwear.

Glitch: Not playing Royal Rumble in season mode:
When playing Royal Rumble in season mode, simply exit and you will be at the next month of your season.

Glitch: Delayed fight:
In season mode, when a wrestler picks a fight with someone, he will not fight that person for at least two months after he said it.

Glitch: Single match with a manager that disappears:
Play a match with a manager. After the match your manager is nowhere to be seen.

Glitch: Title belts text:
If you play a normal match and exit, sometimes the phrase ""The Match" will appear over who owns the belt. If this occurs the only way to make it to where you can get your belt back is to reset the game before you save or to delete your memory card data if you already saved.
