Objective | Requirements |
|---|---|
Hulk is ready for a fight - so bring it to him with punishing offense! | Use a variety of striking, diving, and grappling moves on Hogan to inflict damage until the meter is filled. |
Show Hogan you fear no man and try to rattle him with an Opponent Taunt! | Press the right button on the D-pad to taunt. Bear in mind that you cannot block attacks during a taunt, so make sure you give yourself enough space and time by knocking Hogan down. |
Save that strength for later, use a Light Grapple to hurt Hogan! | Light Grapple by grabbing Hogan with Circle/B, then press Square/X to initiate the attack. |
Surprise The Hulkster with some grappling and put him in a submission hold! | You can perform a submission hold on a standing or grounded opponent by pressing R2/RT and Circle/B. The wrestler has to have a submission assigned to the position you are grappling your opponent from. |
And blitz the Hulkster in the ring with one of your trademark Front Running Attacks! | Run at Hogan with the L2/LT button and press X/A to perform a Front Running Attack. |
Now show the Power of the Warrior and get these people behind you with a Crowd Taunt! | Press the left button on the D-pad to perform a Crowd Taunt, ensuring you have enough space and time to complete it. |
Send Hogan into the ropes with a timely Irish Whip! | Irish Whip Hogan by grappling him with Circle/B, and pressing Circle/B again while holding the left stick in the direction you want to send him. |
Hogan's never met anyone with your power! Don't let up now, stay on the attack! | Continue to inflict damage on Hogan with strikes, grappling, and diving attacks. Be sure to mix up your offense to avoid being countered. |
A Light Grapple here will help set up your following move! | Light Grapple by pressing Square/X once you have grabbed Hogan with Circle/B. |
Now unleash a flurry and take Hogan down with 3 Running Clotheslines! | Perform a Running Clothesline by running at Hogan with L2/LT and pressing Square/X. Connect with this move 3 times. |
A Back Suplex here will zap Hulk of a huge chunk of energy! | From a front position, move the right stick to the left or right to strike Hogan and move his position, so he has his back to you. From there, press Circle/B to grapple and X/A and up on the left stick. |
Try to squeeze the life out of Hogan with a Bear Hug in the ring! | From a standing position, press R2/RT and Circle/B when Hogan is facing you to initiate a Bear Hug submission. |
He's in trouble, but still dangerous! Time to throw everything you've got at him! | Continue to attack Hogan with strikes, diving attacks, and grappling. |
That includes hitting him with 3 Diving Attacks from the top rope! | This can be done when Hogan is standing or grounded, both inside and outside the ring. Climb to the top turnbuckle with L2/LT and press Square/X or X/A to perform a Diving Attack. |
The Warrior is running wild! Lose control with any Taunt! | Distance yourself from Hogan and press the left, up, or right button on the D-pad to perform any taunt. |
Another crushing Suplex from a Rear Grapple may be enough to put Hogan down for the count! | As above, position Hogan to have his back to you, then press X/A and up on the left stick after grappling him. |
Now get Hogan up in the air in the ring with your signature Military Press Drop! | With a Signature move stored, indicated by the blue meter under Warrior's health, press R2/RT and Square/X when Hogan is standing to perform a Military Press Drop. Be mindful not to use Instant Recovery as this will drain your Signature meter. |
You want to become Immortal?! Then defeat Hogan by pinfall or submission and claim the WWE Championship! | Pin or submit Hogan to win. He is a tough and highly-rated legend, so it may take a few finishing moves to achieve. |
