Lingwood, for filling a bunch of Normal Mode gaps. -- Chris Roberts, Nik Johnson, and OlyXV, whom I couldn't have finished the characteristics without. -- If I missed anyone, please let me know right away! 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.
