I find it funny how huge they used to make Brock Lesnar's character models look in the older games. I thought he was ridiculously huge in HCTP, but in this he's an absolute unit. Even the women are ripped beyond belief in this lol.
I played the hell out of this game and The original Day Of Reckoning. You could add some pretty crazy thing to your created wrestler like samurai swords, light sabers, so on and so forth. Great video as always!
Wrestlemania 19 was my top 5 favorites in wrestling games, this game gave me a lot of fun with couch play. Easy to learn, easy to reverse, it felt like an upgraded no mercy/wrestlemania2000/wcwNwoRevenge
I know, not only they were in the Wrestlemania XIX match card in the triple threat tag-team ladder match, but they won the damn match too and retained their WWE Tag Team Champions and they're still not in the game smh. There are still many others that are missing, that would've been a great addition to the game. But overall, it is easily one of my favorite games. I loved the addition of Revenge Mode.
I loved this game, the only thing it lacked was a story mode but that’s about it. I liked the collision detection system, throwing your opponent into other wrestlers added a different element to the game.
The collision issue isn't much of a problem in XIX since the ai will wait for you to finish. They don't intentionally break up your moves like they do in X8 or Day of Reckoning 2.
I use to call this game the "animated version" of HCTP... It has just about the same roster.... It also has a lot of the same in game music.... GREAT REVIEW BRO!!!!
Hey man, I only discovered your channel this week but I have watched pretty much all your wrestling reviews and I love them, I think you have a honest look but its clear you have a passion for them and something I like is you remember what the game what like at the time. I own over 50 pro wrestling games (basically all wwe/wcw from snes onwards), its great to find somebody who appriciates the history of pro wrestling video games! Keep up the excellent work!
This game turned out a lot better than I thought it would when I first got it. I didn't really like WrestleMania 18 all that much because the game for me had a lot of problems. WrestleMania 19 was definently an improvement over that last game. The gameplay was a lot better the graphic's were well improved and it was a lot more fun lol.
I think Revenge mode was probably my favorite single player mode in a wrestling game. I'm shocked to hear that some people didn't like it because they wanted a tradition career mode.
I loved the collision issue. It was annoying at times but getting to slam your opponent with a choke and hit the other two guys in the ring it brilliant.
the created wrestlers you can make in this can be pretty fun, I remember making stuff like a monk whos face was on fire, and a dancing lizard I named Capoeriasaurus..... also, Stacy Kiebler had different things she would say when you exited the Shopzone, one of them being: "go earn some more cash, and come see ME again"...
I didn't really mind revenge mode all that much. I know a lot of people didn't like it but I thought it was unique for a wrestling game. I would've much rather preferred a season mode but I could accept revenge mode for what it was.
Best Wrestling game for Gamecube, I prefer this game over, Smackdown vs raw 2008-WWE12 and 2k15-2k16. The replay value is crazy. Get a king of the ring going with tag teams attack the ref he attacks you back no dq and your set. Putting people through tables has never been easier.
+Wrestling Game I remember that, Earl Hebner was so vengeful in this game. You accidentally smack him a few times and he is suddenly launching himself off the ropes at you in a moonsault XD
Yes! I hated when I would make a tag team match and my partner would accidentally hit him and then my partner couldn't help me anymore until Hebner would stop his attack.
+Junior Sanchez hey man i know you asked the reviewer but, imo Wrestlemania 19 is very very cheap naybe 5-8 dollars, its the fastest game out of the four on gamecube, but Day Of Reckoning 2 has the best graphics for an old school wrestling game. Only two things with that game, Stamina is always turned on, and movement is slowed down. I would recommend getting both.
+Junior Sanchez I like this game best but a lot of that has to do with the roster and the overall era it represents. I was still very into wrestling during this time and played this one more than the others. I would say that DOR 2 is probably the better title as far as gameplay, but I still prefer XIX. Grab them all though, they are all relatively cheap!
Thank for you talking about the sound of the pyrotechnics, for some reason WWE games lately just have this massive brain fart that happens when it comes to the pyrotechnics and the sound of it.
Just a late point: There was only one game to have more than 4 people in the ring at the same time for the Royal Rumble mode and it was the WWF Royal Rumble (1999) Dreamcast version. It boasted having an entire Royal Rumble filled with eight participants (with no lag, but no full entrances either). They lower the amount for quality control in later games (even the N64 games had 4, WWF/E WrestleMania X8 had 4, this one had 4). The amount of players didn't go back up until WWE 2K18 -- which contains 6 at one time.
Some of my observations: Wwe day of reckoning 2 has no steel steps.. 6:14 table move away from standing ladder is same as wwe day of reckoning 2... 6:59 in day of reckoning 2 you can't easily break table and ai will unconscious on top of table some time ... In day of reckoning 2 ladder or table will reassign to ground if you try to keep it over or inbetween rope.. Both games not have ability to remove corner pads.. Both games had only 10 front grapple same as wwe raw 2 for xbox... Wwe day of reckoning 2 has four options while doing submission and ladder can't be kept over table.. Wwe day of reckoning 2 has no corner ladder and table grapple but you can slam opponent on ladder and table.. In wwe day of reckoning 2 opponent can be unconscious in reymisterio 619 opponent position (on second rope) and 619 can be done manually...
Revenge Mode brings this game down a few points for me, I personally hated that mode and it’s not the type of season mode I wanted. While the gameplay is better than WMX8 I actually prefer that game because at least it has a better arena selection and the Path of a Champion which while it may just be an arcade style winning the title I like it better than the Revenge Mode.
I do wish they had real American for hulk hogan but great great as a toddler it was this and raw 2 then I came back to this when I was 8 after playing day of reckoning 2 for 3 years I realized I missed masked Kane
Big names was indeed removed from this game,but at the same time Wrestlemania XIX has a bigger roster than any WWE GameCube game at 45 wrestlers excluding the crazy bosses...I just wish they had more arenas tho...
A good wrestling game on GCN. But the Revenge mode is terrible. I remember buying this game at launch and when I played the Revenge mode...I was disappointed. So instead, I quit about half-way through and never bothered to play that mode again. I just used Action Replay to unlock everything instead. But the game has crazy Creation options. I miss the swords, and wished the recent WWE games would have them again. I have created everyone from Goku, Superman (with a G), Cloud Strife, Squall Leonheart, Heihachi Mishima, Darth Malak, Spider-Man to an original barely naked guy with an endless piss coming out of his penis. Funny shit.
I loved No Mercy so much the controls were very similar in this game. I was fooled into purchasing another game that reviewers compared to No Mercy Wrestling Revolution 3D has to be the most tedious wrestling game there is. The controls are trash, the collsion detection is non existent & the AI is just the pitts. I don't know why so many reviewers compared it to No Mercy that game has no competition in my opinion. Looking forward to the AEW game as it has a lot of the same team behind No Mercy
Bought a Wii for my girl at the time and attempted to use their ability to play gamecube games on it to try these puppies out. Did not work well. Was very sad. Day of Reckoning 2 looked great.
it took me forever to find this game back in 2003 only to find it similar to the previous game wrestlemania 18 and i absolutely hated the story mode which i thought was the worst story mode in a wrestling game.
Pros Far More Playable Than Wrestlemania X8 Great Roster Decent Graphics Uses The Same Music As Smackdown! HCTP The Only WWE Game To Use Blue Mats Cons Lack Of A Legitimate Campaign Mode Drop-In Arenas Awkward Looking Entrances
This is honestly one of the best wrestling games ever made. Def in my top 3 of all time
This is my favorite of the GameCube titles. I know that the DOR games are more popular but this one has my vote for sure.
I loved playing this on the GameCube
All the divas have alt attire that's literally just bra panties and high heels.
WWE was definitely something else at this time.
Good ole days
I find it funny how huge they used to make Brock Lesnar's character models look in the older games.

I loved the Revenge Mode, at first it was weird to have tha kind of mode in a wrestling game, but the story and gameplay on it were great.
the intro is actually a wrestlemania commercial because it actually was an wrestlemania commercial!
This,Looks alot better then i remember it to be
It was always good, it was just tainted by the horrible x8 release. Everyone kinda skipped this one and waited for Day of Reckoning.
sucks that Haas and Benjamin isn't in this game ugh
I know, not only they were in the Wrestlemania XIX match card in the triple threat tag-team ladder match, but they won the damn match too and retained their WWE Tag Team Champions and they're still not in the game smh. There are still many others that are missing, that would've been a great addition to the game. But overall, it is easily one of my favorite games. I loved the addition of Revenge Mode.
@@RainbowRoadCrashTest it wasnt a ladder btw and rhyno wasnt in the game aswell
my very first wrestling game. the game that introduced me to the sport.
amazing how many choices of wrestling games we had then. now we just have one usually glitchy mess to look forward to
I loved this game, the only thing it lacked was a story mode but that’s about it. I liked the collision detection system, throwing your opponent into other wrestlers added a different element to the game.

This is the first WWE game I ever bought.
Great review, never got to play these, never had a Gamecube or knew anyone who had one
3:06 Is that Goldberg's actual game model? it looks like a CAW especially his face
That's what I thought.
That's the Real Goldberg
Still one of my all time favorite WWE title on the GameCube.

This game's one of my favorites!
really enjoyed this! i never really got into the gamecube wrestlers as i stuck with the n64 but this looks cool
Thanks! This game started the momentum for the GC wrestling games. They only got better from here.
PHILL SHIVELY I had created Spider-Man,Venom,Carnage and a whole bunch of heroes and villains in general.
Glenn! Hi! Trust me all GCN wrestlers are worth it. Excluding Crush Hour XD
I loved this game, it holds a special place in my heart along with Day of Reckoning.
Definitely the foundation for the next couple of games where they absolutely nailed it!
I think Revenge mode was probably my favorite single player mode in a wrestling game. I'm shocked to hear that some people didn't like it because they wanted a tradition career mode.
Me too I also love revenge mode as well
@@alfredgarcia6814 so much fun throwing construction workers off the stages backstage
@@HoneyMike yes it does
I’m stuck on that mode
Do y'all see that Austin pose? do you see another wwe game cover before?
2k16?
I loved the collision issue. It was annoying at times but getting to slam your opponent with a choke and hit the other two guys in the ring it brilliant.
SVGR - WWE Wrestlemania XIX (Gamecube)
thx man
what
Bring this guy back - me in 2024
the created wrestlers you can make in this can be pretty fun, I remember making stuff like a monk whos face was on fire, and a dancing lizard I named Capoeriasaurus.....
also, Stacy Kiebler had different things she would say when you exited the Shopzone, one of them being:
"go earn some more cash, and come see ME again"...
Quite surprised u didn't mention the alternate attires!
I knew I was forgetting something!
@@NikateeN I heard you cant change hat colors in CAW is that true? I am used to Day of Reckoning and love that game. But I prefer this roster
It's also worth mentioning that instead of button mashing to get up, you could just twirl the control stick. Which I really loved
I love this game childhood
I didn't really mind revenge mode all that much. I know a lot of people didn't like it but I thought it was unique for a wrestling game. I would've much rather preferred a season mode but I could accept revenge mode for what it was.
I used to get a kick out of throwing or chokeslamming people off ledges and wracking up points
jshudo44 yah i loved this game a lot one of the best for me
I love this game
Ayee gain ground theme in the beginning classic! Dope video too bro love all the wrestling videos

Out of the four GameCube games we got, this was the one I spent the most time with. It was so much improved over WMX8. I really do love this game.

Best old Game of wwe
Your wrestling game reviews are so dope man! Keep it up!
The strangest single player mode ever in a wrestling game....
For real you go around murdering security guards lmao
It was fun though. There were one or two missons that were really annoying.
Revenge mode was cool but I couldn't beat it lol I got so pissed. Hated those construction workers and security lol
'Mum, can we please have Smackdown Here Comes The Pain?'
'We have Smackdown HCTP at home'
I want this game back just for Goldberg holy crap I forget he's in this game. Loved it! Great reviews

Really enjoy your videos bro
Just awesome
Wait! How's that possible? King of the ring tournament but no arena of it?!
Still loving ur reviews man! I still pop this game in at times..it feels like no mercy..and you can't go wrong with no mercy :)
Thanks! This game brings back a lot of memories. It made me happy I owned a GC.
Can't wait til the Here comes the pain review! Hey what is the background theme starting at 32 seconds?
The Marble Zone theme for Sonic 1
Some of my observations:
Wwe day of reckoning 2 has no steel steps..
6:14 table move away from standing ladder is same as wwe day of reckoning 2...
6:59 in day of reckoning 2 you can't easily break table and ai will unconscious on top of table some time ...

In wwe day of reckoning 2 opponent can be unconscious in reymisterio 619 opponent position (on second rope) and 619 can be done manually...
i still love this game!
Can you edit the wrestler's attires , for example , changing the colour of tights or trunks?
The wrestlers come through the curtains,New Generation still can't make that happen,The GameCube was very cool to have
Why does this look more enjoyable than Day of Reckoning? Those Revenge stages look alot of fun.
I like how it shares the same music as HCTP and Raw 2.
Most people would say the DOR games are superior but for some reason I actually enjoy this one the most on the GameCube.
I actually like this game better DOR 1 & 2
Revenge Mode brings this game down a few points for me, I personally hated that mode and it’s not the type of season mode I wanted.
While the gameplay is better than WMX8 I actually prefer that game because at least it has a better arena selection and the Path of a Champion which while it may just be an arcade style winning the title I like it better than the Revenge Mode.
They should've added Benjamin & Haas, 3 Minute Warning, and Shane McMahon
Omg wrestlemania 21 was amazing
I do wish they had real American for hulk hogan but great great as a toddler it was this and raw 2 then I came back to this when I was 8 after playing day of reckoning 2 for 3 years I realized I missed masked Kane
love these intros u made
I loved this game !
I'm thinking about getting a gamecube just for this game :o
I would say do it! There are so many gems on the GC anyway.
+Lumpy Rug probably HCTP, but I'm also a big fan of WM19. Can't go wrong with either!
+Plasma Diamond or scr 2007 its an awrsome game
Get the GameCube Dolphin emulator and play the roms on your pc.
I love this game 💓
Big names was indeed removed from this game,but at the same time Wrestlemania XIX has a bigger roster than any WWE GameCube game at 45 wrestlers excluding the crazy bosses...I just wish they had more arenas tho...
looks like no mercy with HD graphics :p
christian varela perfect comparison!
I think the reason there was no king of the ring arena that year was because it got pulled for bad blood, could be wrong though
Once and for all...... What is the ONE on Gamecube and N64? Are we still WWF No Mercy?
Both play like Day of Reckoning (2).
Revenge mode didn't make too much since. But with a buddy it was quite nostalgic
love this game
This is up there with hctp period
They could have just gave us the wrestlemania arena and that’s it, so I’m thankful.
This review made me "hunt" wrestlemania xix
Awesome! Did you enjoy it?
Yeah! But I couldn't buy the game.... I had to download to emulator. Such a great game but not the same excitement like on the console.....
Stacy said thank you! Isn't that refurbishing?
THQ consistently put out great wrestling games when AKI was the developer. Yuke’s had a lot of highs, but many lows too.
that framerate is orgasmic
I remember when I was a child I ate pizza. That was some nice pizza
I used to have this but my copy would often fail to load and then it got stolen
I enjoyed the Revenge mode on this game.
That WM X8 cover is a weird one because RVD was there.
I thought revenge mode was fucking great, giving those dudes the Last Ride off the edge of the construction site was gold lol
I also noticed that the character selection screen could have passed for Monday Nitro themed! Lol.
A good wrestling game on GCN. But the Revenge mode is terrible. I remember buying this game at launch and when I played the Revenge mode...I was disappointed. So instead, I quit about half-way through and never bothered to play that mode again. I just used Action Replay to unlock everything instead. But the game has crazy Creation options.

7:55 not too many games if any others does the referee come up to the top of the cell with the wrestlers and fall through with them
yay another new wrestling game review hey when are you gonna review the SvR games
I never played wrestlemania 19 but wrestlemania 18 I enjoy it I thought it was a good game it wasn't a bad game at all
Love your intro
Hey these player models look pretty descent i miiiight pick up a gamecube i gotta do more research
Nevermind lol
I love WWE DOR and DOR 2
Smash!
weapon list?
Please Review HCTP & the 2 DoR's?
Coming soon. I'm currently doing the WWE games in order of release.
I see. I love your vids man. You do an extremely good job on them.
***** Thank you, I appreciate that.
I like how they made HBK almost as massive and muscular as Steiner. LMAO
Gamecube was the best console

I’m sensing a deep hatred of good ol Scotty Steiner! 😆
I actually like Steiner, he’s just an easy target due to his antics.
it took me forever to find this game back in 2003 only to find it similar to the previous game wrestlemania 18 and i absolutely hated the story mode which i thought was the worst story mode in a wrestling game.
