How To Complete Yokozuna vs Hulk Hogan in WWE 2K25
|
Objective |
How To Complete |
|---|---|
|
Start off methodically, and look to wear Hogan down with some powerful offense in the ring! |
Inflict damage on Hogan through strikes, grappling, and Chain Wrestling until the meter is filled and the objective disappears. |
|
Lift Hogan into a Carry position and slam him to the mat with a big Carry attack! |
Grab Hogan with Circle/B, press R1/RB to lift him into a Carry position, then Square/X or X/A to complete the attack. |
|
Now hit Hogan with 3 Heavy Attacks from any angle! |
This can be done through strikes, diving attacks, or grappling. To complete, simply select the X/A button to attack or select the Heavy grapple move. |
|
Trap Hogan in the corner and unleash 2 more Heavy Attacks in 30 seconds! |
This one is time-sensitive, so try to avoid getting caught up in any grappling exchanges. Irish Whip Hogan into the corner with Circle/B and the left stick in the direction of the corner. Once he’s there, you can Heavy Attack by pressing X/A. |
|
If you can focus on Hogan’s head to cause Moderate Damage, he’ll be seeing stars! |
Strikes to the head from a standing position will do the trick, but you can also be creative and attack him in the corner or hit him with running attacks. Keep going until the damage indicator for his head is orange. |
|
Now squeeze the life out of The Hulkster with a crushing Standing Bear Hug! |
Standing in front of a standing Hogan, press R2 and Circle/RT and B to perform the submission. It doesn’t have to last long, it just needs to be triggered. |
|
Your Belly to Belly Suplex in the ring will show Hogan the real meaning of “when it comes crashing down and it hurts inside!” |
From a standing position, grab Hogan with Circle/B and press X/A. |
|
Add the ultimate insult to injury, and crush Hulk Hogan with your own Signature Leg Drop in the ring! |
With Hogan laying on the mat, press R2 and Square/RT and X to perform the Leg Drop. |
|
Hogan’s momentum goes up in flames! Take advantage and win this match by pinfall or submission! |
You’ll have a Finisher stored after the leg drop, but you can end the match at any point with a pin or submission. |
