Change music: If you tire of the music playing while you wrestle, press L and LT together to change it.
Whupass mode: Perform aerial moves off objects. It takes several to earn Whupass mode, but be careful not to miss or you will get whupass’ed yourself.
Easy reversals: Get a CPU opponent to grapple, then rapidly tap pause until you see your character flash white, the sign it is time to reverse. Quickly unpause and counter with something like Left plus X.
Deflect objects: If you are holding a barbed wire bat and someone throws a brick at you, press A at the right moment to hit the brick and stop it in mid-air.
Backyard: Run to the ladder on the house or the steps to the tree house to climb onto the roof. Pick up the can by the mattress and pour it on to set the mattress alight, then catch your opponent on fire.
Club Beatdown: Irish Whip your opponent into either fish tank a few times to break it. The fish can then be used as weapons, and both tanks will break.
Mall: Irish Whip your opponent into one of the thick poles by the car on the left or right to make the big M fall, though it fades out shortly after.
Mansion: Climb the pole near the butler to reach the roof, or run at the speaker and then the silver pole to reach the stage. Use the gas can on the table to set it alight and put your opponent through it, or whip them into the big speaker to break it and shock them.
Meatlocker: Irish Whip your opponent into the fan to knock the bars off, then whip them into it again to knock them down and blood over the fan wheels.
Truckstop: Irish Whip your opponent into the gas tanks closest to the 18-wheeler to blow them into the sky, or hit the tanks closest to the ICP bus to set the hay on fire.
