1. Introduction

Hello to all readers.  If you haven't found out by now, I'm BostonFuse51, A.K.A
Chris.  Throught my FAQing career, I've FAQed a wide variety of games
stretching from pokemon to star wars.  My most common platform that I write for
is the Xbox.  I saw this game on the bounty list, and I thought that it was
time for me to FAQ a wrestling game.
In this guide, I will bring you through an entire career in story mode, list
all of the controls, give you the basics of wrestling, and its different
matches, and also list and tell you how to unlock the different unlockables in
WWEshop.com.
If you wish to contact me in any way, you can email me at
bbeltchris92@netscape.net, and I will be happy to answer and of your questions,
thoughts, suggestions, or comments.  I hope that you enjoy the guide, as much
as I am sure to enjoy writing it.

4. Basics
=-=-=-=-=-
In this section, I'm just going to tell you how the typical wrestling match
runs, and things such as that.
In the typical wrestling match, two men (or woman) put it all on the line for a
win.  This match can be for a title, a match to show the better of two
wrestlers, or just for bragging rights.  In a match, the two men or woman
square off using submissions, (to wear an opponent down, or to get an opponent
to tap out when the pain they're feeling is just to much) moves such as
top-turnbuckle moves, or regular ground strikes, and also (if the case may be)
weapons.  In a normal match, weapons are not allowed.  However, when the ref is
knocked out, or not looking, wrestlers will be wrestlers.  In most other forms
of matches, weapons are allowed.
In a match, a wrestler's main objective is to get their opponent to tap out, or
to pin them.  In order to get your opponent to tap out, you must put a
submission move on them causing extreme pain to one or more areas of the body.
To get a pin, you must get your opponents shoulders down, and make sure that no
part of their body is moving below their waste.

========
Batista:
========
Batista "The Animal" is the current holder of the Smackdown World HeavyWeight
Champion.  He is one of the strongest wrestlers in the WWE, and can put
oponents down easily with his Batista Bomb, and some of his other moves in
which he often uses.  Batista is will rounded, and is above average in every
aspect.  A definate force to be reckoned with.

=========
Big Show
=========
Big Show is the biggest athlete in the world.  He has perfect strength in
this game, and is not matched in the power he can use on his unlucky opponents.
Big Show has plenty of moves which shall inflict much damage on opponents, yet
lacks in the smaller moves, and speed.  A very good wrestler, who uses his
size to his immediate advantage.
Strategy: Clean

=========
Booker T
=========
Can you dig it...Sucka!  Booker T is a pretty good wrestler who has some good
and bad things about him.  Booker T is kind of mediocre for the fact that
sometimes, he goes through a period of being an amazing superstar, to being
someone who can't get a move in without getting nailed.  All and all, a fairly
above average wrestling superstar.
Strategy: Clean

Irish Whip Grapple: Book End
Flying Attack (from Turnbuckle): Rolling Guillotine Leg Drop

========
Carlito
========
This bushy haired, very young wrestler reminds me of Booker T.  He goes through
stages where you say to yourself "This guy is a future ledgend" and then can go
pretty bad where he gets his butt kicked.  He is young, and a rising star.
Carlito has some room for improvement, put pulls his weight among the vetrans
of the WWE.

===============
Chavo Guerrero
===============
Chavo is an average wrestler.  He has yet to receive any major pushes, but
sticks around.  He is the nephew of Eddie Guerrero, and they both play "dirty."
This isn't the dirty where you try to end someone's career, just the dirty that
has the audience in tears from laughing so hard.  He is known to do things
behind the refs back, and bring weapons into the ring, and pretend like he's
been hit.  Chavo is an average wrestler.

=============
Chris Benoit
=============
Chris Benoit is the guy that everyone seems to love.  He is usually the
underdog for some strange reason.  Chris is one of the best wrestlers in the
WWE, and has a good moveset, so you can dish out different types of moves on
different types of opponents.  Chris Benoit is a major face, so he is one of
the good guys that almost every fan likes.  Chris Benoit is a great wrestler,
and one that always gets the job done.
Strategy: Clean

Down Grapple Facing Down (Side): Crippler Crossface
Flying Attack (from Turnbuckle): Diving Headbutt 03
Momentum Shift: Multiple German Suplex
==============
Chris Jericho
==============
Chris Jericho is a good, average wrestler.  He is introduced to you early in
the game.  Chris has a fairly average moveset, and all aspects about him are
around the average level.  In this game, I think that he is overrated, but
that's a different story.  Chris is pretty much a face, and is liked by most
WWE fans.
Strategy: Clean

Standing Grapple (Rear): Walls of Jericho
Down Grapple Facing Up (Lower): Walls of Jericho
Flying Attack (Springboard Attack): Lionsault
Momentum Shift: Low Blow 01
==============
Chris Masters
==============
Chris Masters is very much like Carlito.  He is young, and new to the WWE, but
he hangs just as well with the rest of the WWE.  Masters seems to get better
every match, and most of the time he does well.  Masters is very lowly rated in
this game.  He has some room for improvement, but is even better than Carlito
in my opinion.  Overall, Chris Masters is an above average wrestling superstar.

==========
Christian
==========
Christian is a pretty good wrestler, and is liked by many WWE fans.  He is
famous for his "Peep Show" which is his talk show.  Christian has a nice movese
but hasn't received the push to be ranked higher.  Overall, Christian is a good
wrestler.

===============
Eddie Guerrero
===============
Eddie Guerrero is known as "Latino Heat."  He is known for his promos, most
popular "lie, cheat, and steal."  Eddie lies to people, cheats, and steals, yet
never is caught, and always is loved.  Fans have come to love his style, and
every time he goes out there, he gets a big, warm round of applause.

=====
Edge
=====
Edge is a good wrestling superstar.  He is a big heel, and is booed when he
comes out.  I happen to like edge, and think that he is a good wrestler who
gets the job done when called upon.  Edge's strategy is to use an assortment of
different moves in order to crush his opponents.

Eugene
=======
Eugene is an...odd...wrestler.  His promos include carrying a teddy bear out to
the ring, and sticking his tongue out at his opponents.  Many people dislike
Eugene, and don't think that he should not be in the WWE including me.
Overall, Eugene is average wrestling-wise.

============
Heidenreich
============
Heidenreich is a wrestler still looking for a major push.  He has some pretty
okay promos such as be my friend, and the pump up he does when he walks down
the main isle.  Heidenreich, in my opinion is underated in this game, and
deserves a better rating.  Overall, Heidenreich is an average wrestler.

JBL
====
JBL is the ultimate heel, and gets booed all the time.  He claims that he is a
wrestling god which indeed he is.  JBL has a lot of moves that cause damage to
his opponents, and is a very good wrestler.  JBL has good strength, counter,
and durability, and is a nightmare for all opponents to deal with.

John Cena is the current holder of the raw WWE World Championship belt.  He is
an extremely strong wrestler, and has the charisma, and durability to always
get the job done.  Whenever picking your wrestler to use, you will always have
John Cena in the front of your mind.  A definate force to be reckoned with.

superstar.  Kane is a well-rounded wrestler who is pretty good in all wrestling
aspects.  He has some very powerful moves, and can punish anyone, anytime
inside the ring.  Overall, Kane is a very good wrestler who I like to use in
the game.

Kenzo Suzuki
=============
Kenzo is not one to stick with the big boys in this game.  All of his stats are
around 5-6, and he is the average wrestler.  I think that he needs a little
higher rating, but there is nothing anyone can do about it.  Overall, Keno is
an average wrestler.

Orlando Jordan
===============
Orlando is a fairly good wrestler.  He has some points, like a lot of other
superstars where he looks great.  However, at other times he doesn't look so
great.  Orlando can come in flying, and excited, or down and gloomy.  You never
know what you're going to get, but most of the time, the good outweighs the
bad.

============
Randy Orton
============
Randy is one of my favorite wrestlers in the game.  In current day, he is one
of the leaders of the WWE.  Randy is known to play a little dirty, and is very
aggressive at points.  Sometimes, he gets to aggressive, and ruins the match
for himself, but he is young, and still soaking in information with the help
from his dad "Cowboy" Bob Orton.

some way to win using his methods, and is liked by most WWE fans.  Ric has a
lot of power even though he's getting to be too old, and he also has a lot of
speed still left for when he needs it.  Overall, Ric Flair is a very good

Rob Van Dam
============
Rob is a good wrestler.  He has a lot of strength and speed, and all other
aspects are in the above average range just as well.  Rob is a dangerous
opponent, and one that not many people look to fight.  In this game, I think he
deserves a lower rating by 3 or so, but there is nothing anyone can do about
it.  Overall, Rob is a pretty good superstar.

Undertaker
===========
Undertaker "The dead man" is one of the most radical wrestlers of all time.  He
doesn't speak much, but all his promos are of the dead, and the mysterious.
Undertaker is an odd character, but always puts on a show for fans, and is
undefeated at Wrestlemania.  Undertaker is a huge face, and is loved by almost
all WWE fans.  Overall, Undertaker is an amazing wrestler.

==============
William Regal
==============
William Regal is a pretty average wrestler.  The only above average aspect that
he has is his countering which he uses quite often.  William Regal can look
good, or bad depending on the day, like many other wrestlers.  He is still
looking for the push that will get him more noticed in the WWE.
Strategy: Clean

*******************************************************************************
Divas
*******************************************************************************
==============
Christy Hemme
==============
Christy is a pretty good diva.  She has some okay moves, and digs into some new
moves and promos every match.  Christy is probably the tied for second best
diva in the game and overall isn't that bad to use in a diva match.
Strategy: Clean
Strength: 3/10
Speed: 6/10
Durability: 3.5/10
Counter: 4/10
Charisma: 7.5/10
Submission: 3.5/10
Overall: 56/100
Special Moves:
Standing Grapple (Front): Twist of Fate
Standing Grapple (Rear): Reverse Neck Breaker
Momentum Shift: Low Blow 01
==============
Stacy Keibler
==============
Stacy is probably the hottest, but worst diva in the game.  She doesn't have
anything at least average besides charisma, and doesn't have any really big
signature moves, or promos.  In the beginning of the game, you're wrestler and
her are dating!
Strategy: Clean
Strength: 2.5/10
Speed: 5.5/10
Durability: 2.5/10
Counter: 3.5/10
Charisma: 8/10
Submission: 3.5/10
Overall: 53/100
Special Moves:
Standing Grapple (Front): Full Swinging Slap
Standing Grapple (Rear): Full Swinging Slap
Momentum Shift: Golden Hip
==============
Torrie Wilson
==============
Torry and Christy are most likely the second best divas in this game.  Torry
has more moves then Christy, and around an equal status range.  Torry is always
a diva you might want to think about using.
Strategy: Clean
Strength: 3/10
Speed: 6/10
Durability: 3/10
Counter: 4/10
Charisma: 8/10
Submission: 3.5/10
Overall: 56/100
Special Moves:
Standing Grapple (Front): Full Swinging Slap
Standing Grapple (Rear): Full Swinging Slap
Turnbuckle Grapple (Front): Shattered Dreams
Momentum Shift: Lip Lock
==============
Trish Stratus
==============
Trish is the second hottest diva and the best when it comes to wrestling.  She
is the current woman's champion and the best diva out there by far.  Trish is
listed as dirty, but I disagree.  She usually never cheats to win, and always
gets the job done.  Overall, Trish is a good wrestling diva.
Strategy: Dirty
Strength: 3.5/10
Speed: 6.5/10
Durability: 4/10
Counter: 5/10
Charisma: 7/10

Ledgends (Unlockables)
*******************************************************************************
==========
Bret Hart
==========
Bret "The Hitman" Hart is known for his submissions, his durability, his
charisma and his counter.  All of these have boosted him to become a WWE
ledgend, and continue to get him further in the business when called upon.
Overall, The Hitman is a great wrestling ledgend.

Special Moves:
Standing Grapple (Front): Sharpshooter
Standing Grapple (Rear): Sharpshooter
Down Grapple Facing Up (Lower): Sharpshooter
Momentum Shift: Low Blow 01
===========
Hulk Hogan
===========
Hulk Hogan rating wise, is the best wrestler in the game.  In my opinion, that
is not true at all.  I believe that he is maybe the sixth best wrestler in the
game behind Flair, The Rock, Angle, Mankind, Stone Cold, and others.  However,
he is rated the highest overall, and no matter what his rating is, Hulk is
still a great wrestling superstar.
Strategy: Clean
Strength: 10/10
Speed: 6/10
Durability: 9.5/10
Counter: 8/10
Charisma: 10/10

========
Mankind
========
Mankind is one of the most famous wrestlers in the WWE.  He is known for
fighting in basements, and underground areas.  His most famous scene or promo
is him leaping off of one of his famous hell in the cell matches.  Mankind is
one of the best wrestlers ever, and is a hard-core wrestler.

=============
Steve Austin
=============
Steve Austin "Stone Cold" is one of the most famous wrestlers to ever live.
He is known for his "Stone Cold Stunner" which is his signature move.  Stone
Cold sticks up for the underdog, and is loved by almost all WWE fans.
Overall, Stone Cold is an amzing wrestler.

Down Grapple Facing Up (Lower): STF
Down Grapple Facing Down (Lower): STF
Momentum Shift: Stone Cold Stunner
=========
The Rock
=========
The Rock is the best wrestler of all time in most WWE fan's opinion.  The Rock
has great mic skills, and a ton of charisma to boot.  When The Rock gets that
fire in his belly (which is almost all the time) he is unstopable, and
destroyes everything in his path.  Overall, The Rock is the most famous
wrestler of all time.

6. Match Types
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In this section, I will list every match in the game.
*******************************************************************************
Kinds of Matches
*******************************************************************************
WWE Day of Reckoning 2 has tons of matches waiting to be fought.  Once you
select Exhibition Mode, you will have your choice of one of the following
matches:
SINGLE MATCH: Two superstars enter the ring and duke it out until the end.
TAG TEAM MATCH: Pick a pair of superstars, and duke it out against two other
wrestlers.  Make sure you use your tag team partner in the match to keep both
superstars fresh, and healthy.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH: Three superstars enter the ring for a free-for-all.
Concentrate on fighting one of your opponents quickly so that you can get it
done to a one on one match.
FATAL 4 WAY MATCH: Now four superstars enter the ring, and fight in an all out
war.  Square off against one opponent first, and then go after the others.
HANDICAP MATCH: Need a little boost?  Handicap the match by giving one opponent
an edge over the other.
ROYAL RUMBLE: In the WWE's signature event, you must throw all other opponents
over the top rope.  Can you survive...?
Once you select the kind of match, select the specific match type.
*******************************************************************************
Specific Match Types
*******************************************************************************
NORMAL MATCH: On this match, no weapons are allowed, and it's a clean fight
until the end.
HARDCORE MATCH: In this match, there is no disqualification, and also a No
Falls Anywhere rule.
LADDER MATCH:  In a ladder match, there are two ladders on either side of the
ring.  One or both opponents have to get a ladder in the ring and climb it in
the middle, to reach the suitcase, belt, or other object.  While ladders make
nice climbing devices, they also make great weapons.
TLC MATCH:  In this match, a wrestler may use a Table, a Ladder, or a Chair as
a weapon.
CAGE MATCH: In a cage match, a wrestler will be in a steel cage with their
opponent.  The first one to climb out of the cage and fall outside of the ring
wins the match.
HELL IN A CELL MATCH: This match is a steel cage match, but the top is closed,
and there is no disqualification.
BRA & PANTIES MATCH: In these types of matches, divas must strip their
opponents down to only bra and panties.  A very enjoyable match indeed!
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH: In a last man standing match, the first man who stays
on the ground for the 10-count loses the match.
IRONMAN MATCH: In this match, pin falls, submission tap outs, getting your
opponent to stay on the ground during a 10-count, and having your opponent hit
you with a weapon, and getting DQed will give you one point.  At the end of
half an hour, or an hour, the wrestler with the most points wins.

8. Story Mode Walkthrough
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Once you begin your season, it's time to create your superstar.  If it's your
first time playing, you only have 6 different styled wrestlers to choose from.
The different types are:
New York, Weight: 243 pounds
United Kingdom, Weight: 231 pounds
Canada, Weight: 250 pounds
Japan, Weight: 234 pounds
Mexico, Weight: 230 pounds
New York, Weight: 260 pounds
I chose New York, Weight: 260 pounds because he looks the coolest, and looks
like he's strong and will be a force to be reckoned with for all opponenents.
Once you pick your superstar you're going to be using, you can pick what his
specialties will be.  You can make it 5 attribute points to two things, 10 to
one, or 3 to all.  After this, you can choose which aspect you will want to
focus more on such as striking, dirty attacks, or grappling.  I chose well-
balanced for both to improve in all aspects.
After this, you can choose your superstars name.  Once you're done, press
start, and it will take you right to your career.
In the first scene of your career, Eric Bischoff will come out onto the ring.
He will tell the audience about last week on raw in a match between Triple H
and Chris Jericho.  He will show you footage.  In it, Triple H is pinning Chris
