All characters share some basic (but important) moves.

Super Combo-Combo Meter must be full.  Must grab opponent and press FF buttons in 
order to execute.

Run- Press Square+X.  Once you have started runnig you can alter the direction you are
heading or by pressing an attack button your player will lunge at the opponent and
knock them down.

Power Throw- Press Triangle+Circle.  Can only be used by Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna,
and Lex Luger.  

Hair Grab- /\ (when near a downed opponent's head).  This allows you to pick up your
opponent from the canvas and do some more damage.

Grab- FF Triangle.  Once you connect with this it enables you to do a number of things.
You can start a mini-combo, a regular combo, a throw move, or a High-Risk Move.  There
are multiple ones in the game but these work for all characters. They are FF Triangle
and DD Circle.

Hip Toss- BB Square.  

Irish Whip-BB Triangle.  Sets them up for a good move

Shove- L1+Square.  

Turnbuckle Leap- Up Up right next to the turnbuckle.  Once on top, press any attack and
you will spring forward.  

Flying Drop Kick- Triangle+X then press Circle-You must run then hit the Super Kick.

Flying Body Dive- Triangle+X then press Square-You must run then press Super Punch.

Reverse Throw- Either FF Square or DD Circle.  In my opinion this is the most
important thing to learn.  When grabbed press in the motions listed (careful, they
differ with every character).  You will then reverse there attack and look really cool.

Power Up- Do two 360's away from the opponent.  By doing this you will enable a power
up that will last for about 5 seconds.  All moves will then do 4x damage, except for
super combos.

Speed Up- Do two 360's toward the opponent.  By doing this you will enable turbo speed
for about 5 seconds.

Random Select- Press up and start at the character select screen.

Hip Toss- B+Square.  This will fling your opponent when they are running at you.

ALL Combos start with a grab. 

Mini Combos can be done anytime after a grab.  They can be reversed but they can take a
lot of energy.

Codes:

For infinite combo energy, Hold L1 and R2, then press Square, X, Circle, Triangle at the
character select screen.

Pause the game then for:
Resetting cheats press square, circle, triangle, X.
No human damage press X, triangle, R2, up.

Big damage press X, triangle, L2, down.
No timer press X, triangle, R2, left.

Begin a two-player game and have one of the players choose Lex Luger.  Begin a normal
match and have Lex Luger climb the corner turnbuckle and stand on the top rope.  Now,
press the "Block" button.  The crowd will cheer and MacMahon or Lawler will say a few
things.
