February 14, 1999

• Win the match

Historical Bonus Objectives

• Hidden Objective: Prevent Mr. McMahon from climbing the cage
• Hidden Objective: Climb to the top of the cage and escape to win
• Hidden Objective: Perform a Stunner on Mr. McMahon

Match Strategy

This is a Cage Match against Mr. McMahon… with a twist.

Hidden Objective: Prevent Mr. McMahon from climbing the cage

Run over under Mr. McMahon and press grapple to start a cutscene. Two Hidden Objectives appear.

Hidden Objective: Climb to the top of the cage and escape to win

There are two ways to go about this. After the cutscene, Mr. McMahon is down. You can immediately climb the cage, but he’ll recover and attempt to pull you down. Reverse it and you can escape. Your other option is to pick up Mr. McMahon while he is down and blast him for enough damage to make him stay down while you climb out. Hit escape at the top to trigger a cutscene and meet the objective.

Hidden Objective: Perform a Stunner on Mr. McMahon

Work your momentum up and rock him with a Stone Cold Stunner.

After the Stunner, Paul Wight appears in the ring and takes some well thought out direction from Mr. McMahon. He throws Stone Cold Steve Austin through the cage wall, causing Austin to win by escape!

The Rock vs. Mankind

February 15, 1999

Match Objectives

• Win the match

Historical Bonus Objectives

• Put Mankind through the announcer table

Match Strategy

We had a feeling that Mankind was going to get caught on the short end of some WWE hijinks. We were Wight—er… right.

Objective: Put Mankind through the announcer table

Disassemble the announcer table. Move the ladder out of the way before you whip Mankind into the table, and hit a big grapple to destroy it!

Objective: Win the match

Use a Finisher to complete an OMG Moment and put Mankind through the crowd barricade. That will give you some time to climb the ladder in the center of the ring and grab the Championship that is hanging down.

When you’re successful, a cutscene will begin.

With some help from Paul Wight, Mankind is taken care of and The Rock grabs the Championship!

Mankind vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

March 8, 1999

Match Objectives

• Win the match

Historical Bonus Objectives

• Perform the Double-Arm DDT on Austin
• Perform the Mandible Claw on Austin
• Win by submission

Match Strategy

This is a Normal Match with a special referee. Making the calls for the evening is the World’s Largest Athlete, Paul Wight, in the world’s largest speedo.

Objective: Perform the Mandible Claw on Austin

Objective: Perform the Double-Arm DDT on Austin

Work your way up to a Finisher and hit Stone Cold Steve Austin with a Mandible Claw.

After some slams, use the left and right taunts to boost momentum and open up another Finisher.

Hit him with the Double-Arm DDT.

Objective: Win by submission

Stone Cold Steve Austin has taken such a beating by this point that his torso is probably critically damaged, so slap on a Surfboard Stretch Breaking Point Submission and he’ll be yelling “uncle” in no time.

Match Strategy

This Bonus Match has Shane McMahon getting some help from Triple H.

Objective: Get X-Pac’s damage to moderate

Work your way through X-Pac with Shane McMahon. Hit him with Shane’s Combination Punch Signature Move and follow up with a Finisher. If he’s still not to moderate damage, keep the pressure on.

Objective: Perform a Finisher on X-Pac and pin him in 10 seconds

After X-Pac’s damage gets to moderate, Triple H hops over the crowd barrier and joins in on the fun. Work up to a Finisher and hit X-Pac with a Snap Suplex.

Whip The Rock out of the ring, and then whip him again, this time into the announcer table. Grapple him to start a cutscene.

Hidden Objective: Perform a Finisher on The Rock & pin him in 10 seconds

Work your way up to a Finisher. It’s another Stone Cold Stunner.

Pin The Rock. He’ll kick out and a cutscene will start. The next Hidden Objective is revealed.

Objective: Succeed in the “WWE Attitude” Moment

In order to trigger the minigame, you’ll have to open up another Finisher and use it. The “WWE Attitude” Moment is a dramatic version of the Stone Cold Stunner.

End The Rock’s night with a Camel Clutch Breaking Point Submission. With all of the Stone Cold Stunner Finishers you’ve thrown, The Rock has taken some big-time critical damage to the head. The tap out was set up nicely.
