How to Perform an Irish Whip in SmackDown vs Raw on Xbox: Varies by Version—Check Tutorial/Move List

Controls vary by specific game version (2007–2011) and updates, so there's no single universal button combo. Here's how to find it for your edition:

Find the Right Input

1. In-game Tutorial: Most entries have a "Tutorial" or "Training" mode under Options → Game Modes that covers grappling and Irish Whips.
2. Pause Menu → Move List: During a match, pause and check the move list for your selected wrestler; Irish Whip is usually listed under "Grapples" or "Strong Grapples."
3. Experiment in Exhibition: Set up a 1-vs-1 match, get into a front grapple (usually Right Stick or A/B depending on control scheme), then try directional inputs + grapple buttons.
4. Search Online: Query "Irish Whip SmackDown vs Raw [year] Xbox controls" on YouTube or GameFAQs for version-specific guides.

General Tips

• Timing matters: Execute the input as the grapple animation starts.
• Wrestler stats affect success: High "Strength" or "Irish Whip" attributes make the move more effective.
• Control schemes differ: "Classic" vs. "Alternate" layouts change the buttons.

Practice in Exhibition mode until the motion feels natural.
