Objective	How to Complete
Begin with a strategic approach and aim to exhaust Hogan with powerful offense!	Use strikes, grappling, and Chain Wrestling to inflict sufficient damage on Hogan to fill the meter and clear the objective.
Execute a Carry Attack on Hogan!	Position yourself to grab Hogan with Circle/B, press R1/RB to lift him into a Carry stance, and follow through with Square/X or X/A to execute the slam.
Landslide Hogan with 3 Heavy Attacks from varied angles!	Employ a mix of strikes, diving maneuvers, or grapples. Hit the X/A button for standard attacks or use a Heavy grapple move as required.
Corner Hogan and deliver 2 Heavy Attacks within 30 seconds!	This task is time-sensitive; avoid grappling distractions. Irish Whip Hogan into the corner using Circle/B and the left stick, then unleash Heavy Attacks by pressing X/A.
Focus your attacks on Hogan’s head to inflict Moderate Damage!	Strike Hogan’s head from a standing position, or get inventive with corner attacks or running moves until the damage indicator for his head turns orange.
Apply a Standing Bear Hug to drain Hogan’s energy!	Approach a standing Hogan and press R2 with Circle/RT and B to initiate the submission move. It doesn’t need to last long; the key is to trigger it.
Show Hogan the meaning of a Belly to Belly Suplex!	From a standing position, grab Hogan with Circle/B and press X/A to execute the move.
Finish with a devastating Signature Leg Drop!	Once Hogan is on the mat, perform the Leg Drop by pressing R2 along with Square/RT and X.
Capitalize on the momentum and secure a win by pinfall or submission!	A Finisher will be available post-leg drop, but you can end the match anytime with a pin or submission attempt.
