I found this on both the IGN and GamingRing boards, so I can't vouch for its accuracy, but I thought someone might want to see these anyway. Word has it that the game actually doesn't tell you how to earn abilities. If these are true, then THQ officially hates CAW makers.

Submission: Attempt 7 Struggle Submissions in one match and then win
K.O.: Earn 5 star ratings in every Match (no title match) on a single title path.
Lock Pick: Face Y2J in a singles match and escape the Walls of Jericho
Resiliency: Kick out of a pin at 2 while having 2 parts of red body damage.
Durability: Beat a superstar rated 20 points higher overall while both having orange damage
Evasive Dodge: Win a Special Match against 2 opponents (between Rey and/or Jeff Hardy and/or Jimmy Wang Yang)
Hammer Throw: Earn an ability within your first 10 career matches, then get the Sit in the Corner award.
Kip-up: Win 6 championships
Outside Dives: Complete 25 Dives in career.
Possum Pin: Beat 3 people who have the possum pin.
Spring board: Win the Cruiserweight Title
Ladder Match: Get a 5 star ladder match against one of the Hardys
Object: Complete 50 object attacks in career
Fan Favourite: Successfully taunt 10 times in a match (must not have Steal Taunt)
Dirty Pin: 5 star rating against 3 different people who have the ability
Table Match: break 40 tables in career (announce tables count)
Referee Shield: Get 5 DQ losses, then win a championship match against a clean superstar
Move Theft: Beat 20 different superstars
Steal Taunt: foil opponents attempt to steal your taunt (can't have fan fave ability)
Bloodshed: make opponents bleed 10 times and bleed yourself 10 times (rewarded on win with blood)
Cage Match: win cage match in under a minute by escaping

You should be fine. As far as I know, men can't chase the Women's title, and there's a title that the women can't go after, but I don't think the Cruiserweight title is one of them. If it were me, though, I'd use codes anyway.

The bloodshed ability sounds sort of weird. It would be better to earn it if you face somebody, they make you bloody and you win the match with a 5 star rating.

Yea, some of these sound absurd and extremely difficult to win. 5 Star rating in every match? Ouch.

Are you serious? I won a cage match in seven (Or nine, can't remember) seconds last year. I only takes like four or five seconds to climb up.

some of them seem hard, others arent too hard. Ladder match and K.O. seems extremely hard.

Just do the goldberg spear when there red, that gives you plenty of time to leave the cage.

One big problem that I see is that you run the risk of ending up with at least one ability you don't want and not being able to get rid of it. Move Theft seems especially hard to avoid getting, as I don't see how you're only supposed to play through 19 matches in Career Mode unless you're chasing the Women's Title.

The "Sit in the Corner" award you have to earn in order to get the Hammer Throw is actually one of several in-game awards (not Achievements or Trophies) you can get in Career Mode. Just don't ask me what you're supposed to do to get it. Maybe someone here who has the game can help us out with that.

As for the others, some of them like Object and Fan Favorite look obscenely easy to get; others, not so much. (5-starring every fracking match to get K.O.?!??!) For me, the kicker is that I don't know how to go about having a 5-star match. It seems to be set up like the Day of Reckoning games in that long matches with lots of back and forth action and in which you take a lot of damage get you more money and XP. Again, someone who has the game will probably have to set me straight.

Bumping because it'll be handy to people...

Does anyone know if you earn more than six abilities you can choose them?

EG. Right now im against MVP. I have made a face character and I win I will "earn" the possum pin. What I want to know is, can I earn more abilites and in future change it with another desirable one.
Or do I have to lose this US Belt to him ;___;

Well this is bloody silly. A lot of them overlap so your limited to what you can do. Basically your gonna have to know what your aiming for and go with it.

As for earning more than six I don't think so, or at least even if you take a Superstar in that have a few abilities (such as a main eventer) abilities in you cannot change theirs.

Glad I got the PS2 version now ha-ha.

EDIT - As for 5 star matches, its decided by how many points you get per match. The longer the match and the more of the little "Awards" you get the better. I found if you get "+100" points you tend to get a five star match. Word of warning though. Dont win the championship and move along if your atempting to get loads of five star matches. If you do, you cannot go back and get a five star match with anyone you may have got 2, 3 or 4 star match with before. You can fight them but it never updates the star quality strangely.

Nope cannot get any awards or abilities in Exhibition. You can go through carrer mode as a Superstar or CAW. However its the same for both. And the levelling up of Attribute points is kinda random. Really hard to get the exact amount you want.

(Sorry DoubleAgent74 I meant to answer your query): As it happens the Hammer Throw is one of those abilities that it is gonna be hard NOT to get. The "award - Sit In Corner" is basically Irish whip your opponent into the corner (I think 5-10 times) in a match. Have to be so careful just to have a basic match!

Especially since, to get the Hammer Throw, you have to whip your opponent in the corner a lot during one match (ten times, actually--earned it on the PSP version last night) and get an ability in your first ten matches. And THQ wonders why we thought this was a lousy way to build CAWs...
