WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 cheats & more for PlayStation 2 (PS2)

Hints

Easy Victory Streak

This is the easy way to get a perfect winning streak on 24/7 mode. Before every match, turn on dq's, and choose to play as your opponent. Then, when the match starts, grab a weapon and attack your superstar with it. You are dq'd, but your superstar wins! But in a title match, if your trying to win the title, play as the other guy and let yourself get beat up and get pinned, and your superstar will have the belt!

Get On The FireTruck In A Backstage Match

First make it a 2 player game. Throw your other fighter into the truck. Move the right stick. It will run their head into it. Make your other man climb the truck. Now you climb the truck and it will throw them off and you will be on the truck!

Win Easily

To win easily, plug in player two and on story mode put player two as your guy and you as your challenger and make yourself win.

Win By Hearse Or Trash Truck

Pick any two superstars for a parking lot brawl match. Beat your opponent until you reach full momentum (when you get to the point to where you can pull off a finisher). Irish whip your opponent into either the hearse or the trash truck. Press triangle and, viola, you win.

Easy Hall Of Famer

When playing just about any of the Hall of Fame matches go to in match options and put no DQ. When in the match go outside and get a weapon. Stay outside and fight your opponent until he is bleeding our is weak enough to pin. Fight him inside and pin him and their you go, you win.

Set Careers

In 24/7 mode there are 2 or 4 set careers. I only know two. They are Triple H and Batista. You do their 24/7 mode and they have special events. For Triple H there is his marriage to Stephanie Mcmahon and other things. Batista starts out with a title belt when you start and you have a #1 contender problem between Finlay and Undertaker. The other two I think there are are John Cena and Rey Mysterio.

Beat Royal Rumble Legend Challenge Quicker

First you go to options. Then go to gameplay settings. On standing grapple and strike reversal rate put it all the way down. Then put ground strike and reversal rate down. Then put finisher reversal rate all down. Pick Triple H. Every time someone enters the ring run up and do the choke move. Then eliminate them.

Easy Cash In 24/7 Mode

In 24/7 mode, choose events and activities as your daily activity. Choose the option 'Villian movie'. If the movie fails, you will get $ 4000. If it's a success, you will get $ 10,000 and if it's a big success, you will get $15,000 or sometimes even more depending on your 'On camera' skills which can be improved in the option of on camera training.

Easy Legend Progress

Play as a superstar or a created superstar in 24/7 mode. In the daily activities, select the events and activities option. Choose the option' Other brand invasion' and get a +5 or +8 popularity bonus. Repeat this until your superstar receives 100% popularity bonus. Your player will be ranked on top of the Power 25 and will receive a +3 Legend progress. In the next week, after your match in your show, just simulate the week till your next show. Your popularity will decrease by either 20 or 15%. Then again make your popularity 100% and you will again receive some legend progress.

100% Popularity

While playing as general manager in 24/7 mode, go to the options, and toggle the injuries off. Now go to events and activities and select the option 'Other brand invasion.' Select the superstar you want to give a popularity bonus. If it's a success, your selected superstar will receive a bonus of +5 and if it's a big success your superstar will receive a popularity of +8. Repeat this until your superstar gets 100% popularity.

Fan Support

Play as GM in 24/7 mode. For this you first have to try the 100% popularity cheat. When all or most of your players have 100% popularity, their match rating will come up to either 4, 4.5 or a 5 star rating. The more the match ratings, the more the show ratings. If you have a higher show rating than the other brands, you will receive a good fan support.

Shovel As Wepon

There are 2 place you can get a shovel as a weapon: In the Parking Lot Brawl, go over to the garbage truck and press the "pick up weapon" button. It will then be available to use. In the Buried Alive Match, go over to where the casket is. Right next to it is a shovel. Walk up near it and press the "pick up weapon" button. You can then use it to hurt your opponents even more then usual!

Get Popular 1

Keep going on trophy dates which will offer a 5% fan boost (8% if big success), costs $500, 10% fatigue. I would only use this method if you are very impatient.

Popularity Boost For Carrer Mode

Keep going to the autograph things that only offers 1% fan bonus (2% if big success). I recommend this since it doesn't take any fatigue.

No-Failure Pin

To Pin without failure go to either a Hardcore match or any no DQ match. You must be in multiplayer mode and player 1 must be in a pin position while player 2 holds a steel chair. Make sure player 2 is next to player 1. Move the right analong stick in any direction as player 2. Player 1 would continue the pin while the second player does his grapple move. [Must be a Hardcore Superstar]
