V-shaped trophy
Finish survival mode without losing (37 straight wins).

Beating D Mob
The easiest way to beat him is by submission. Throw him against the ropes and walk slowly to him. As he bounces back, put him in a head hold. It takes roughly eight attempts of these to make D Mob submit. After his head health meter is empty, you must repeat the tactic two more times.

Beating Pockets, House, and Snowman
When you fight Pockets, House, and Snowman, beat on one of them. Then, run away and work on one opponent at a time. When one of them is in danger, use your Blazin against him and you will automatically K.O. that person and win the match. Remember, to keep on running.

Keep working on Pockets. When in danger, get Blazin' on him and it will be a K.O.

When you are fighting them, only go after Pockets as he is the smallest person.

In story mode, you are ambushed by House, Pockets, and Snowman. You have to battle all three of them at once, and the only way to win is to make them submit or knock them out. The best way to win is to focus on one of the three. To do this, you have to be fast on him. Take every opportunity to throw him down and put him in a submission. One of the other two will break it; repeat as necessary. Build up the Blazin' bar and hit him with your special. Remember, these three work as a team. The two that you have been ignoring will try to hold you down until the other recovers. Keep that one opponent in the danger area as long as possible. You may need to work on the other two to build up the Blazin' bar and to keep them at low health. Follow these steps to eventually win.

Easier knock out
Discover your most powerful move and use that a few times, followed by a couple different moves, then your most powerful move, and repeat until your opponent is in peril. Get a Blazin, then use it against your opponent for a fast knock out.

Easy submission
Grapple an opponent then keep on getting them in submissions. When their head, leg, or arm health runs out, you will win.

Spider combos

Briggs combos

Dishonorable Discharge: Hard Strike Direction + Square, then Hard Grapple and Left + X, then Head Submission.
War Cry: Soft Grapple + Square, then Leg Submission.
Friendly Fire: Running Strike and press Square + X together, then Ground Strike.

Suggested characters
The best character to start off the game with is Spider, because of his strength and defense. He is also an excellent submissionist, which is really useful when you are facing someone fast like Ludacris, and someone with charisma such as N.O.R.E. and the 3 on 1 handicap match you will have later. The suggested characters from best to worse are Spider, Briggs, Tank, and Proof.

The easiest way to finish the game is with Briggs. As you obtain money, put most of it on Power, Defense, and Grapple. This is the easiest way to make people lose health fast. With Briggs, the best way to knockout an opponent is to use his Blazin move from the rear.

When you are playing survival mode, choose WC. He is a great person to use because of his power and defense. After you select him and when you are fighting, just use his strong attacks. Pick your opponent up and preform another one. After roughly five chokeslams and three pile drivers, he will be ready for Blazin mode. Go behind your opponent and use his Blazin move there. Your opponent will be K.O.ed. Keep doing this strategy, and after ten matches you will have roughly $30,000 to spend.

Just use D-Mob in survival mode, because of his attention towards his opponents head. He has a series of moves to the head from submission to grapple.

DMX: Combos

Junkyard Dog: Do a Weak Rear Grapple, then press Square(2x's), Circle.
What's My Name: Do a combo strike (Square + X), then Hard Strike (Square + move toward opponent), and Hard Grapple (Square + Down).
Doggy Style: Press Square + Circle, then press Up when next to your opponent.

Ludacris: Faster special
When you are Ludacris in Club Luda, taunt and his special meter will always goes up a ton.

Method Man combos

Boxing Buffs: Press Circle, Down, do a Hard Strike (Square + Circle), then press Up.
Flip o Rama: Go to the turnbuckle, then press Up + Square. Then he will do a back flip, which you have press X.

Skills
In story mode, before you go up against a challenging opponent, fight several battles in battle mode to earn money for better player attributes. This is helpful when going up against Snowman, Pockets, and House.

If you already have an I.D. name, choose battle or survival mode at the main menu. Select your I.D. name and pick a fighter. When you win, you will receive money. Then, go to story mode and pick your I.D. name. Select the button to put your stats up, and the money you won from the battle will be there also. Do this enough and you will have full stats at the beginning of your story mode.

Go to one player and accumalate money. Then go to another person and collect that money and use it on another person.

Easier tag team or handicap matches
If you happen to grapple your opponent, press L1 to turn them around. You may be able to press either Circle or Triangle. Circle will lead to you locking the opponents arms with yours for your partner to strike them. Triangle will lead to you picking up your opponent onto your shoulders for your partner to strike from the top ropes. However, if your opponent has plenty of health, you will more than likely drop backwards when attempting to pick them up.

Grappling
Grapple moves to the head, body, arms or legs are accounted for when trying submissions. You will see that the bar depending on which of the four you attack will lower with every grapple attack.
