I finally bought this game and playing out my first match as Monty Brown vs. Kenny Dykstra. Trying to do the Pounce but I need to get Dykstra groggy on the ropes. In previous games I'd set up a grapple, strike, then drag them to the ropes and punch them back into it. In this game I have no clue how to do it and punching Dykstra at the ropes is just knocking him down, not making him groggy and on the ropes. Any tips on how to get him to be groggy on the ropes so I can do the Pounce finisher?

Edit - Figures, I was finally able to use strikes to get him groggy on the ropes to do it. Is there an easier method to do this?
