Quoted from RDReynolds:As for WOZ with its no cradle mode, WWF also has a mode where it punishes you for cradling. When you are Royal Rumble multi ball, if you keep the ball in play and do NOT cradle, it will start a countdown to get more balls in play. However, if you DO cradle, the countdown never starts.
Hurricane also punishes cradling during multiball. While cradling a ball during multiball, you do not build up your time you'll have multiplied playfield scoring (which follows multiball).
