But as we all know, fancy intro 
  sequences won't make up for shoddy gameplay. In most parts, WWF Raw manages to 
  blend both great graphics and gameplay pretty well. But the gameplay is quite 
  simple, which I guess isn't always a bad thing. The X button performs striking 
  attacks on your opponent, the A button for grappling, the Y button blocks and 
  the B button picks up objects, tags partners in the Tag Team matches, taunts 
  opponents and a few other moves. A lot of these attacks and blocks depends on 
  how you are facing your opponent, ring positions and what direction you are 
  pushing the controller in at the time.
