WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 Cheat Codes (for Playstation 3)

[final kaoss]

• 24/7 mode: Easy wins

Use either a created wrestler or an original superstar. Make sure you have two controllers. Select your match in 24/7 mode and choose your opponent. Do not select your wrestler. When the match starts, if it is just normal rules grab a weapon and hit your wrestler for the DQ, or you can simply get counted out. This results in an easy victory for the character you selected. In a Fatal 4 Way match, put both players one and two on any two goons. Focus on the single CPU wrestler and help your character to an easy win. This will work under any difficulty setting. Basically switch the CPU opponent to your control and cause him to lose.

• 24/7 mode: Fast start to a good paycheck and skill points

When you first start 24/7 mode you are given four exhibition bouts. Your salary is $2,000 a week during that time. After completing these exhibitions you will get a set salary. This salary is based on your popularity. Do not waste your time training. You have four days before each bout. Spend $1,500 on three trophy dates and one day signing autographs a week. Watch your fatigue level. Pace yourself so you do not go past your last two strikes or you will get injured. If you get injured it is no big deal. It is always a minor injury for four weeks. Your early matches are very easy. Once done you will get $16,000 a week. Whether you win or lose your bout does not matter. Use that money to buy skill kits. The basic kit is $30,000 and premium kit is $110,000. Get the basic kit first. Your salary does not change once under contract until it expires again. Note: a $1 million dollar contract is only $20,000 a week.

• Arenas

Get the indicated number of Hall Of Fame mode points to unlock the corresponding arena.

December to Dismember: 8 points.
ECW One Night Stand: 7 points.
Great American Bash: 10 points.
New Year's Revolution: 9 points.
No Way Out: 5 points.
Summerslam: 11 points.
Vengeance: 6 points.
Wrestlemania 23: 12 points.

• Attributes

Do not train to increase your skill level on a CAW until you purchase the premium ability kits. If you do, it will be a waste of time because the skill levels will be set to the defaults. Train only after you have bought it to bring it from the 80s to the 90s and 100s.

• Beat hall of fame mode

To beat hall of fame mode really easy:

1: Before your match go to the main menu and go to options.
2: Go to ingame options and lower the computers attributes to zero.

Now when you play it will be a lot easier. | [jeffhardy619]

• Chair Moonsault

First get someone who has a hardcore fighting style. When in a match get out a steel chair and when the opponent is on the ground, grapple with the chair, you will place the chair out and run up and moonsault off the top rope. (it will not count as a DQ) | [MattKell]

• Conchairto

Play as a wrestler with the Hardcore style (for example, Sandman, Sabu, etc.). When an opponent is face down and you have a chair, press X near the head to slip the chair under his or her head. Run either to the top or bottom of the ring, and get another chair. Press Square to hit him or her in the head. If you press X near his or her's legs, your wrestler you will put the chair on his or her's legs. Then, press Square to stomp on it. If your opponent is face up, press X to put the chair on his or her throat. Press Square to stomp on the chair.

• Double stacked tables

Set a table up inside the ring. Get another table, stand to the side of the other table, and press X. To it set on fire, get a full bar for your finisher, and press Finisher.

[final kaoss]

• Drag opponents

To drag your opponent while they are on the ground, hold R3 when near your opponent and press the Left Analog-stick in the direction desired.

• DX Costumes

To unlock DX costumes, insert "DXCostume69K2" (minus the quotes) at the in-game cheats menu.

• Easy $1,000,000 Contract

When you start WWE 24/7 mode, go on trophy dates as much as possible. This is the quickest and easiest way to earn popularity. Your salary is based on how popular you are. Get your popularity at 100 (or close to it) when your contract expires. The next week you will get your salary notification. Teddy Long or Coach will tell you that you now have a $1 million salary ($20,000 per week).

• Easy Money

Here's a great way to make lots of money quickly. Start a new game on 24/7 Mode with a created wrestler. He doesn't even have to be any good. On the Calendar, scroll down to Wrestlemania PPV and select it. Choose to simulate each and every match to this date. It will take a while, but at the end of simulation, you will have made hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can use this to buy new, better character (and other stuff), and you can repeat this process as many times as you want.

• Easy Popularity

The easiest way to get popularity is to go on trophy dates. You will increase 5% on each date (about 30% per week).

• Easy Royal Rumble wins in Hall Of Fame mode

Use the following trick to complete the Hall Of Fame mode task where you must complete a Royal Rumble on the Legendary difficulty setting entering at number 1. At the options menu, select "Gameplay Settings", then "Custom A.I." settings. Scroll until you get to frequency of COM's usage. There will be a few bars. Set them all down to the lowest possible so that your opponent cannot reverse attacks. Play a Royal Rumble, and put your entry to number 1. When you start the match, you can easily throw your opponent out, but you must do it before the number 3 entrant comes out. The trick is to wait facing the ramp just outside the third rope's shadow. When the superstars come out, wait until they have gotten up, and then Irish Whip them over the ropes. Keep repeating this until you have won the Royal Rumble.

• Easy wins

Use any dirty superstar. Store your fighting style icon and use the dirty special move. When your oppenent turns around, press the Right Analog-stick Right to roll him up and grab his tights for the win.

• Easy wins in Hall Of Fame mode

Set your difficulty to "Legend" and your custom AI settings so the CPU never reverses strikes, grapples, etc. When you play Hall Of Fame mode, it will still be easy to defeat the CPU.

• Easy wins in King Of The Ring event

At the screen before you begin your match, there are four options: "Play", "Simulate", "Match Rules", and "Select Arena". Select "Match Rules", and turn off DQ. You now can use weapons and will not be disqualified, making the tournament a lot easier.

• Easy wins in Money In The Bank event

Take both ladders to the entrance ramp where the superstars enter. Wait for the other superstars to get to you. Once they get there, hit them all with a ladder. Run back with one ladder, and get the briefcase. Note: Superstars only walk; they do not run. This trick also works in a Ladder match.

Get both ladders. Set one up under the briefcase/title. Set the other one up diagonally. Run up the ladder that is set up diagonally while holding the Left and Right Analog-sticks. If done correctly, your superstar will grab the briefcase/title and both the ladders will fall.

Put one of the ladders up by the entrance. Some of the wrestlers will keep leaving the ring to get the ladder, keeping their numbers in your favor.

• Easy wins in Royal Rumble event

This trick works in any Royal Rumble and is especially useful when trying to complete the Royal Rumble challenge in Hall of Fame mode, and get the "That's one for the record books" achievement. Set the difficulty to Legend, and start the Royal Rumble match as the #1 entrant as The Great Khali. When the match begins, Strong Irish Whip the #2 entrant over any top rope. Once they are over the top rope and are on the apron, start striking them relentlessly. When the #3 entrant is four seconds away from entering the Royal Rumble (check the timer on the left side of the screen), stop striking the #2 entrant, and grab them. If done correctly, the #2 entrant's meter should be halfway or more gone, making him easy when you grab them. Do this to entrant after entrant to win the Royal Rumble.

• Easy wins on Legend difficulty

Go to the options menu, select "Gameplay Settings", set the difficulty to Legend, then go the "Custom A.I." settings. Scroll until you get to frequency of COM's usage. Set the bars all down to the lowest possible. Go to damage balance, and raise those bars to the highest possible; leave the game balance bars alone. It should now be much easier to win matches on the Legend difficulty setting.

• G.M. mode choose every superstar you want

If you choose G.M. mode for 24/7 mode when you choose which G.M. you want to be get 3 controllers and choose every G.M. with the controllers, when you pick your superstars on use new roster you will see that you choose the superstars for ECW, Smackdown, and Raw. | [Jake]

• Getting created superstars stats up

To get your created superstar's stats up easily, just go to 24/7 mode pick your superstar and then go straight to your calender, scroll down to wrestlemanina and simulate, when you do that you will have a lot of cash (p.s if you want to stop simulating days just press x on a day) then go to the shop and buy the fight package according to your superstars style it will put his stats up to 80 something, then just keep simulating all the years and eventually you will have a wrestler with an overall of 100! Hope this helps, to add me on psn im kemphall. | [zacho]

• GM mode: Easy General Manager Of The Year

In GM mode, when trying to become the General Manager Of The Year, follow the 30 CAW creation and drafting method, but only use 25. Before Wrestlemania, fire all of you superstars. The best superstars will be stolen by the opposing shows. Then turn them off from being drafted and have nothing but three CAWs on your roster (the other two are insurance in case you do not get it the second year either). After Wrestlemania, switch your high level popularity characters back to "on" in the roster section and rehire them. Chances are you would have had to renew the contracts soon anyway. For example, buy only six superstars (Edge, John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, and Shawn Michaels), however buy a full year's contract. Skip to the two weeks before Wrestlemania. Set up the CAWs, turning those characters off, because by that point two to four of them will have 100 popularity, which can make your ratings plummet after the event.

• GM mode: Easy money

Run advertisement promos each week, along with your superstars being at 100 popularity. Once you have won over 10 million fans, you should make over $1 million per show.

• GM mode: Easy ratings

Create a superstar. Duplicate him thirty times. Start GM mode. Turn off every superstar and only leave on the created superstar. The other two brands will be left with the CAW at 20 popularity. Turn on the superstars again in available draft the next week. When they become available, sign them. You will win the ratings easily.

Send your superstars on trophy dates until their popularity reaches 100. Once it does it usually stays there and will only come down a point or two. When all your superstars are at 100 you can just maintain the ones at 99, 98, etc. This will give you easy four star match ratings. Have as many rivalries as you can, and a few weeks in you will get five star match ratings.

• GM mode: Get the Triple Threat Tag Team match to be a title match

This trick will only work if the Tag Team championship is vacant and you are playing RAW or SmackDown!. Do this if you want to make the Hardcore Triple Threat tag team match into a title match. When you are at the GM desk, select the CPU and go into "Options". Then, select "Play Options" and turn "Title" off. Doing this will allow you to strip any champion of their belt or belts, therefore making the title vacant and you can choose a new holder. Strip the Tag Team champions of their belts. Then, put them in the Hardcore Triple Threat Tag match against any other two teams of your choice and make it for the Tag Team Championship. Next, go back and put the belts back on the superstars you just stripped the belts from and turn "Title" back on. The match will now be a Tag Team match and the champions will actually be entering with their belts on.

• GM mode: Maximum fans

Use the high ratings trick along with replacing the roster with CAWS. Within three months you should have 10 million fans with the other two shows at 0 fans.

• Hall Of Fame mode: Easy Royal Rumble wins

Use the following trick to complete the Hall Of Fame mode task where you must complete a Royal Rumble under the Legendary difficulty entering at number 1. At the main menu, enter the "Options" menu. Select "Gameplay Settings", then "Custom A.I." settings. Scroll until you get to frequency of COM's usage. There will be a few bars. Set them all down to the lowest possible so that your opponent cannot reverse attacks. Play a Royal Rumble and put your entry to number 1. When you start the match, you can easily throw your opponent out, but you must do it before the number 3 entrant comes out. The trick is to wait facing the ramp just outside the third rope's shadow. When the superstars come out, just wait until they have gotten up and then just Irish Whip them over the ropes. Keep repeating this until you have won the Royal Rumble.

• Hall Of Fame mode: Easy wins

Set your difficulty to "Legend" and set your custom AI settings so the CPU never reverses strikes, grapples, etc. When you do Hall Of Fame mode it will still be easy to defeat the CPU.

• Helicopter with ladder

While holding a ladder, press R3 to do the "Helicopter".

• Kelly Kelly's Alternate Outfit

To unlock Kelly Kelly's alternate outfit, insert "KellyKG12R" (minus the quotes) at the in-game cheats menu.

• King Of The Ring: Easy win

On the Road to the WWE Hall of Fame challenge for May 25, 2006 you are instructed to do the following. Using any superstar, win the King Of The Ring tournament in Tournament mode under the Legend difficulty setting. These matches, even the first round, can be quite difficult for players. To do this easily, when you go to the screen before you play your match there are four options: "Play", "Simulate", "Match Rules", and "Select Arena". Go to "Match Rules" and turn off DQ. You now can use weapons and will not be disqualified, making the tournament a lot easier.

• Money In The Bank: Easy wins

Take both ladders to entrance ramp all the way to the place where the superstars enter. Wait for the other superstars to go to you. Once they get there, hit them all with a ladder.
