	b) Blue Meanie - Lose to Chyna in July on Normal Mode.

3) Getting Extra Abilities/Characteristics
------------------------------------------
	
	There are a ton of different characteristics to choose from when you create your
	character. But, a lot of them aren't available until you've unlocked them (by
	recieving them) in Pre-Season. The following is a fairly well-started list of 
	hidden characteristics, with descriptions on how to get them.

	Power Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level power moves repeatedly in 
			   a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give 
			   a minus.
	Technic Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level technical moves repeatedly in 
			     a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give 
			     a minus.
	Speed Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level speed moves repeatedly in a 
			   match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give 
			   a minus.
	Rough Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in 
			   a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a 
			   minus.
	Power Def.  +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in a match.
			  Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a minus.
	Technical Def.  +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in a 
			      match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a 
			      minus.
	Speed Def.  +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in a 
			  match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a minus.
	Rough Def.  +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in a 
			  match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a minus.
	Power Skill +/- - Plus can be gotten in Royal Rumble by winning it. Minus seems based on
			  a loss while using low-level moves.
	Speed Skill +/- - Plus can be gotten in Royal Rumble by winning it. Minus seems based on
			  a loss while using low-level moves.
	Technical Skill +/- - Plus can be gotten in Royal Rumble by winning it. Minus seems 
			      based on a loss while using low-level moves.
	Rouchneck Skill +/- - Plus can be gotten in Royal Rumble by winning it. Minus seems 
			      based on a loss while using low-level moves. 
	Talented/Bad Speaker - Win or lose the match in August against Kane on Normal.
	Special Referee +/- -Win or lose the Special Ref Match against Triple H in 
			     March on Normal.
	Fashion +/- - Tell Debra "Thanks" or "Shut Up!" in August.
	Tag Match +/- - Win or lose to the Rock and Sock Connection in March.
	Wealth - Complete 1 pre-season.
	European Title + - Complete 2 pre-seasons.
	Women's Title + - Complete 3 pre-seasons.
	Tournament + - Complete 4 pre-seasons.
	Hardcore Title  + - Complete 5 pre-seasons.
	IC Title  + - Complete 6 pre-seasons.
	Tag Title + - Complete 7 pre-seasons.
	Title Match + - Complete 8 pre-seasons.
	Skip Pre-Season + - Complete 10 pre-seasons.
	(Character) +/- - These are totally random, based on who you fight, what you say 
		          to people during interactions, and the difficulty. They can be
			  earned through winning or losing a match, telling a person
			  thanks or shut up, and attacking or not attacking someone.

First off, I want to thank everyone that e-mailed me. The comments were all very positive, 
and I'm very glad i wrote this. As for why, I wrote this FAQ out of frustration that
there were no decent FAQ's explaining how to get Stephanie McMahon. Even after creating this
FAQ, I still have no clue what the game sites mean by "Stage 65/House Show ED8: Stephanie 
McMahon", so for all those who didn't understand either, I hope this helps. Comments are always 
appreciated. Also, this FAQ is GROSSLY incomplete, but due to the size of the storylines in 
Normal Mode alone, it's a daunting task to catalogue all the outcomes. If anyone wants to help,
just send me your pre-season details, preferably in the form I've already used, but a simple 
"Match 2, lost to Shane, faced Test in match 3" will do. Please do let me know the difficulty 
level you were playing at, of course. Thanks for any help to add to this FAQ on probably the
best wrestling game made thus far.
