I don't think there are any cheats in the conventional sense of the word, but here's a collection of hints and tips to help you get the most out of your copy of the game.

HOLD ALL THE TITLES To hold all the titles find out who is/are the champions for all the belts. Select the Light-Heavyweight Champion (or become them first) and go to Exhibition mode. Choose to fight the Hardcore Champion and the computer will give you the option to put a title on the line. Choose the Hardcore Title and win your match. You will now be Light-Heavyweight and Hardcore Champion. Repet the process with the European Champion, Tag Team Champions, Intercontinental, and WWF Champions until you hold ALL the belts!

RISE UP THE RANKINGS If you want to rise in the rankings you need to defeat someone that's ranked higher than you. You will then get their ranking, but only if they're are competing for the same belt as you.

HOW TO DO THE DUDLEYS MOVES There are loads of double team moves but they're quite easy to do. To do the 3D you whip you opponent into your corner and press & , but what most people don't realize is that you must be D'von!!! Buh Buh ray does the variation with the suplex neckbreaker. To do the WHASSSUUUPPP you must be Buh Buh Ray and press & .

MAKE EXISTING WRESTLERS MANAGERS There is a way of adding more managers...on the Main Menu, click on "Rankings". Once that has loaded, click on "Re-Enter" on the right hand hide and then select the wrestler you want to be manager. Move him/her to the "Other" Ranking. Once you've done that, go back to Main Menu and go to the "Create-a-Manager" menu. The wrestler should now be a manager!

BECOME NO.1 CONTENDER QUICKER To make your wrestler get up the rankings fast take out the no.1 contender and move him to another title, enter him, then move him back to the original belt. This will move him to the bottom of the list. You can keep doing this until your wrestler is at the top, giving you have a title shot. (Thanks to Michael Whyte)

INTERFERE WHEN YOU WANT In Season mode, if someone asks you to interfere, you won't really unless you actually view the match. If you do view the match, to interfere press all the top buttons during the match (R1, R2, L1, L2) and you'll sprint down and be able to lay the smack dwon! Also, giving yourself the characteristic 'Rowdy' gives you the ability to interfere in any macth by pressing those buttons.

UNLOCKED CAW PARTS/MOVES/TAUNTS Everytime you wrestle an 'unknown' competitor, his/her body parts and taunts are unlocked. This allows you to create past members of the WWF and other Federations in the CAW mode. These are not ready made wrestlers with videos etc. which are unlocked in Season Mode.

USE RINGSTEPS AS WEAPON IN NORMAL MATCH In normal matches you can't press R1 to pick up the ringsteps. All you have to do to be able to use them is whip your opponent into them. This makes a clanging noise and knocks them over...allowing you to pick them up.

ACCESS MORE WEAPONS BACKSTAGE If you see an object that looks as if it could be a weapon, such as the weights in the gym, them whip your opponent into them. More often than not the item will fall onto the floor allowing you to use it against your opponent.

ACCESS HIDDEN AREAS BACKSTAGE Whip your opponent into large areas of wall to the right of the Gym. This should damage the wall making a whole. The red arrow will appear and turn blue when you can go through the whole and enter the hidden shower area.

BECOME CHAMPION IN TWO MATCHES To quickly rise up the rankings for a particular belt, wrestle and beat the number one contender for that belt in exhibition mode. As long as you save after the match, this will make you number one contender in season mode too. Once you are number one contender, play and beat the champion in exhibition mode, save and exit, and you will be the champion in the season mode too! (Thanks to Joe...Just Joe?!)

UNLOCK EVERYTHING! Win your match at WrestleMania, year 5, and you'll unlock eveything that hasn't been unlocked previously.

CHANGE WEAPONS DURING HARDCORE MATCHES In hardcore mode you can change your weapon by going out of the ring and pressing R1 by the ring apron. You have to be holding a weapon already, but you can keep doing it until you get the weapon you want.
