Instructions
Knock your opponent to the ground. The best time to perform a pin is after using a finisher. Press "L1" to use a finisher when the logo appears.
Walk to the center of your opponent's body. Hold the "Down" direction on the D-pad and then press the "Circle" to perform the pin. If the opponent is laying belly-down, your wrestler will flip him over and make the pin.
Go behind an opponent's back and press "Down" and "Circle." Your wrestler will scoop the other wrestler between the legs, roll them down and make a pin. This move will not work with larger wrestlers, such as Undertaker, Kane and Mark Henry.
Perform a power bomb finisher that turns into a pinfall. Chris Jericho's double power bomb, Undertaker's Tombstone and Bubba Ray's powerboms all have automatic pins after the finisher is applied.
Use a top rope finisher to automatically pin opponents. Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb, Val Venis' Money Shot, Eddie Guerrero's Frog Splash and Rikishi's splash all lead to automatic pins on opponents.
