PLAYING POSSUM
Brute strength alone will not always carry you to a victory inside the WWE ring. Using your quick wits will often pull you out from the doldrums of defeat.
New to W SmackDown! vs Raw 2006 is the ability to play possum during matches. You can now feign an injured state in order to lure in your opponent and secure a pinfall.
When down on the mat, and in possession of a stored special, hold the button and press the L2 button to counter an expected strike or the R2 button to counter an expected ground grapple in order to take your opponent by surprise and perform a quick pin on your opponent. If you guess wrong, you will lose your special.
