-
Surprise The Hulkster with some grappling and put him in a submission hold! Perform a submission hold by pressing R2/RT and Circle/B. Ensure the wrestler has a suitable submission move based on their position.

And blitz the Hulkster in the ring with one of your trademark Front Running Attacks! Run at Hogan with the L2/LT button and press X/A to execute a Front Running Attack.
-
Now show the Power of the Warrior and get these people behind you with a Crowd Taunt! Perform a Crowd Taunt by pressing the left button on the D-pad, ensuring enough space and time to complete it.

Send Hogan into the ropes with a timely Irish Whip! Grapple Hogan with Circle/B and then press Circle/B again while holding the left stick in the desired direction.

Hogan’s never met anyone with your power! Don’t let up now, stay on the attack! Continue to inflict damage on Hogan with strikes, grappling, and diving attacks. Mix up your offense to prevent being countered.

A Light Grapple here will help set up your following move! Perform a Light Grapple by pressing Square/X after grabbing Hogan with Circle/B.

Now unleash a flurry and take Hogan down with 3 Running Clotheslines! Run at Hogan with L2/LT and press Square/X to execute a Running Clothesline. Connect with this move three times.

Try to squeeze the life out of Hogan with a Bear Hug in the ring! From a standing position, press R2/RT and Circle/B when Hogan is facing you to initiate a Bear Hug submission.

He’s in trouble, but still dangerous! Time to throw everything you’ve got at him! Continue to attack Hogan with strikes, diving attacks, and grappling.

That includes hitting him with 3 Diving Attacks from the top rope! Climb to the top turnbuckle with L2/LT and press Square/X or X/A to perform a Diving Attack. This can be done when Hogan is standing or grounded, both inside and outside the ring.

The Warrior is running wild! Lose control with any Taunt! Distance yourself from Hogan and press the left, up, or right button on the D-pad to perform any taunt.

Now get Hogan up in the air in the ring with your signature Military Press Drop! With a signature move stored, indicated by the blue meter under Warrior’s health, press R2/RT and Square/X when Hogan is standing to perform a Military Press Drop.
