The best character to start off the game is Spider, because of his strength and defense. He is also an excellent submissionist, which is useful when you are facing someone fast such as Ludacris, and someone with charisma such as N.O.R.E. and the 3 on 1 handicap match you will have later. The recommended characters from best to worse are Spider, Briggs, Tank, and Proof.
SkillsIn story mode, before you go up against a challenging opponent, fight many battles in battle mode to earn money for better player attributes. This is very helpful when going up against Snowman, Pockets, and House.
Avoid losingWhen your opponent has Blazin, or if your fighter is completely out of health, to avoid being knocked out or pinned, get out of the ring quickly and run around until his Blazin is gone or you have enough health to live on. Note: When you are running around, your opponent's momentum also decreases.
Keep opponent's momentum downWhen wrestling an opponent, you may sometimes pull off a move with an accompanying pin (for example, the Illicit Package, etc.). If you pull off one of these moves for damage alone, and definitely know the opponent will kick out, make sure to release the pin yourself (R1) before they can kick out. Kick-outs, as well as rope breaks, will give the victim a decent-sized momentum boost. However, if the attacker chooses to willfully release the hold, it is recognized as an act of mercy and thus no momentum boost is given to the victim.
GrapplingGrapple moves to the head, body, arms or legs are accounted for when going for submission. You will see that the bar depending on which of the four you attack will decrease with every grapple attack.
Easy submissionGrapple an opponent then keep on getting them in submissions. When their head, leg, or arm health runs out, you will automatically win.
Easy knock outFind your most powerful move and use that a couple times, followed by a couple different moves, then your most powerful move, and repeat until your opponent is in danger. Get a Blazin, then use it against your opponent for a easy knock out.
Blazin movesEvery character has two Blazin moves. To perform their second Blazin move, move to the back side of your opponent, grapple, and move the Right analog-stick. Sometimes this is more effective then their regular Blazin. For example, DMX's Blazin from behind the opponent is where he breaks their arms and snaps their neck.
Defeating D MobThe easiest way to defeat himis by submission. Throw him against the ropes and walk slowly to him. As he bounces back, get him in a head hold. It takes about eight attempts of these to make D Mob submit. After his head health meter is empty, you must repeat the tactic two more times.
