Here is a list of all the locations needed to KO opponents for this achievement:

I've also included a video showing all of them, in case some of the descriptions are confusing.

*******TIP******* This can be done in conjuction with "Thank You Edge" and the 3 achievements for winning on hard, by doing these brawls as Edge on hard. I'd also recommend doing this against a superstar with low overall (I used Heath Slater, cause I hate him and like to watch him get destroyed) because you'll only have to hit a couple of moves between KOs. Also, if you need the "Against The Odds" achievement, I would recommend doing that while working on this, in the Hallway South because there are finish spots EVERYWHERE, and lots of room to maneuver around to keep from getting ganged up. Again, using lower overall opponents will make it easier to pick one or two of these guys off early so as to keep from being ganged up on.

Do you have to do a Y-Finisher or does the grapple move that finishes the fight count as well?

Not sure if it does or not, but if you do it the way I describe it takes maybe 10-15 minutes tops, so I can't imagine why that would be a problem.

Did you start a new Free Brawl for each location? Because I tried to use the "Rematch"-Function and the achievement didn't pop up.

@MC SHARKYYY - Yes, I used Edge and did the 44 locations at the same time. After I did the finisher on the other wrestler in the correct location and it said Edge won by KO all I did was pick rematch instead of exit and moved on to the next location and after 37 matches I got the Thank you Edge achievement and then after that I just continued on till I did all 44 locations and got that achievement. Hope this answers your question.

@MC SHARKYYY No, I did Thank You Edge in conjunction with the Submission Specialist achievement - I used rematch to get all of the Free Brawl ones, though.

Hordriss - It's really not that bad if you follow my tips in the solution. It took me maybe 15 minutes to do them all that way. If your stats are superior enough you can end each brawl within 4-5 moves, which is a breeze for anybody who's any good at the game.

By TESTUBE BABY 82 on 13 Jan 2012 14:53
Not entirely sure. I always used Y... to be safe I'd say try and do it that way, just in case... but if you try it the other way and figure out the answer, I'd be more than happy to add to the solution.

By CndnViking on 13 Jan 2012 17:55
The grapple is enough - just got the achievement without using Y (thought I try it with the last spot i need)
Also - you can use a CAW, so you can do one with an overall of 19 and one with 100, walk in the park, even on hard (if you want to do the 50 wins on hard as well)

I just got this cheevo only doing half of them and getting it so i dont need to be in one sitting. So i guess that all the ones you get from the story carry over. Just though id point this out.

If you don't want to waste time building the story, I've uploaded mine. Search for 'Master of the Brawl' keywords: Master of the Brawl, Achievement, I Got Fans.

I also included Edge in it so you can unlocked the 'Thank You Edge' achievement as well.

It could possibly be the way you went back & forth with listing some of them, instead of starting on left (for example) and just working up and around, then down right. I found it a bit confusing when you said "Single silver crate opposite concrete wall slab on right side" instead of saying (single silver crate above concrete wall slab). Just being a bit nit-picky with the wording, but good guide regardless! Thanks for taking the time for it, as this is the last achievement I need to 100% the game!

I just like to add that this can be done faster with the method Kaiser679 came up with for the achievement Submission Specialist!

This is how I did it:
- Make a CAW with a overall of 1
- Create a new story in story mode.
- Make the first match a brawl match with any wrestler of choise against the CAW with overall 1.
- In the wrestler selection menu press Y when selecting the CAW and give him full body damage
- Just to make it easier put the difficulty on easy.
- Copy/paste this match enough so you have a total of 44
- Now save the story and play it.

This way when the match start you only have to irish whip the caw into the spots and press A and you'll do the finisher directly.
It saves a lot of time!

Haha I had this solution up under the other one he mentioned (nothing like seeing other people get props for your ideas) for quite some time... I just didn't want to write a NOVEL on one solution, and since using even a low end superstar (Santino, Slater, Ryder, etc.) only takes a couple moves to finish, it really doesn't save all THAT much time.

...especially when you consider that by copying the matches you'd have to move between the areas of the backstage manually... while I just went into it from the menu and PICKED the area, then did rematch for however many locatations were in that area. Doing it this way, I got the achievement in about 10 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, I did credit you for comming up with the method. I just said how I did it.
And yes when you create the matches you make as many matches as the area has spots and then you use the next area and create as many matches as that one has spots and so on.
And using a CAW with 0 overall makes it that faster as you don't have to beat them up at all, just throw them into the spots and you excute them immediately

If you want to save time, I have created a "Story" that not only makes getting this achievement quicker and easier, but if you use the video guide (not created by me), you will also unlock:

Professional Material - Win 20 Matches on Hard
Thank You Edge - Win 37 matches with Edge
Legend Status Accomplishments - Win 50 times on Hard
That's gotta hurt! - Smash your opponent through a glass window (One of the 44 places you have to do a finisher)

Go to XBOX Live > WWE Community Creations > Download > Press X to search > Keyword(s) > type in ACHIEVEMENTS in the search box and there will be a story you can download created by myself.

There are 50+ matches, all on Hard, all with you playing as Edge, all of them with facing a severely weakened David Otunga as your opponent, so you only have to do a finisher to win the match and all of them in FREE BRAWL mode.

As long as you do a finisher against a different area out of the 44 each time by the 44th match you will get the achievement (as well as the other achievements noted, carry on and once you win your 50th achievement you'll get the achievement for winning 50 matches on hard as well.

Hope this helps everyone.

No. I did this after playing through the Road to Wrestlemania which included a fair few backstage brawls. On the 43rd finisher I got the achievement.
Each finisher should take you a min average anyway. So put an hour aside and you will get it in no time. Happy Hunting

This achievement is a cunt and a half. It seems like you have to do it all in one go. That means you can't do half one day and half another. This probably isn't a problem as it only takes 45 minutes. However, this game has terrible freezing problems that not even installing it will fix.

I had the game freeze on me 11 times usually somewhere in the last 10 I needed. I spent an accumulated 6 hours on this one achievement.

Here's the thing. I noticed that a lot of people were saying that there progress from story mode carried over, and they unlocked it early... So I couldn't figure out why it wasn't saving for me.

I found a solution if you're having freezing problems.

1. Create a wrestler with all stats set to 1.

2. Create a new story with these settings
User: John Cena
Computer: Your created wrestler (make sure to turn body damage down to 0%)
Difficulty: Easy
MatchType: 1V1 free brawl
Location: Hallway south
Copy/Paste 13 times.

3. Create another story, everything the same as before but this time Hallway North and five locations.

4. Do the same for the other three locations.

5. Pick each story individually and execute your created wrestler on the spots listed in Kaiser's solution.

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART!!!

6. Go to WWE Universe and Simulate a match/Advance the story. Make sure it says saving progress in the upper left. This ensures that the game is saving all your locations you executed in free brawl.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6, and if your xbox freezes on your restart the story you were working on.

Hope this saves you as much headache as this caused me!

The following method will get you Thank You Edge, Legend Status Accomplishments, and Master of the Brawl.

In the story creation mode, set up a Free Brawl match with Edge and a superstar of your choice. Again, like in the Professional Material description, make the opponent's damage all red and change the difficulty to hard. You will need to copy and paste this 44 times, changing the arena to match the number of KO locations in each hall (e.g. 13 for Hallway South, 5 for Hallway North, etc.; you can find a list below). Also, I suggest turning "Instant Start" to on and "Victory Animation" to off. You don't have to inflict any damage at all now - just whip your opponent to one of the KO positions and hit , , , or . Now repeat 43 more times and you're done!


If you don't want to create your own story, you can download one via Community Creations. The name of the story is Master of the Brawl and you can find it by searching these keywords: x360a, master, brawl.
