No WWE Superstar becomes a Legend overnight. It takes dedication to mastering the fundamentals of in-ring competition before you can start to assemble the string of victories required to attain legendary status. This chapter covers all of the moves and maneuvers you must learn to rise through the ranks of WWE’s elite Superstars and become the greatest Legend of all time.

DIRECTIONAL NOTE L and z/1 are interchangeable for any of the following moves and maneuvers. For simplicity’s sake, only L is used in this chapter.

The moves in this section can be performed in any match type. Practice them until they become second nature.

01TRAINING.indd 2 3/11/09 2:17:16 PM MOVEMENT Moving around the ring (and in and out of it) is one of the most fundamental skills to master on your path to becoming a WWE Legend. All movement is performed with L or l/1, often accompanied by the Action button (B for 360, L for PS3).

STRIKES Strikes are quick, forceful attacks like punches and kicks. They require little to no set-up and can be unleashed without warning, but they don’t infl ict as much damage as grapples.

All strike commands are based off of the Strike button (X for 360, I for PS3). Because the controls for many of these moves are so similar, pay careful attention to the positioning of your Legend and his opponent.
