Okay, I feel pretty stupid about this. I found out this morning that there was a whole array of moves I hadn’t yet tried out. I am still playing through the career mode with my own guy, and this morning I casually set up a table. I am a hardcore-type superstar, I had a stored finisher and my meter was full again. I usually set up a table to gutbust or outsider’s/razor’s edge someone through before going for a pinfall. However, as I set it up, the ‘press triangle for finisher’ came up on the screen. to begin with I just assumed it was just to put someone through it via a nice piledriver, but the other guy wasn’t anywhere near the table. After hitting triangle, my superstar struck a match and lit the table on fire.

Apart from looking awesome, it doesn’t seem to do a hell of a lot. The table disintegrates after its had someone put through it, and from what ive gathered, stays alight till its been broken. If you throw someone into it they react in the same way as if you threw them into an exposed turnbuckle, ie stagger away after the impact. I tried doing this with most of the other weapons and you can also set the barbed-wire wrapped 2×4 on fire, making it a flaming, cutting weapon. However, you can’t do any more grappling moves, which would push the flaming, spiky mass into their face, but instead you can just swing it like the usual attack moves. As far as I have tried, this is only available with hardcore-type superstars, and looks awesome.

So there you go, flaming tables.
