WWF Smackdown Just Bring It is the first game in the Smackdown series to arrive on the Sony Playstation 2. Improvements were made in every aspect with Just Bring It featuring more realistic gameplay, a new robust creation suite that allowed players to build custom superstars with a ton of customization options, a new story mode was added with branching storylines, and the roster itself featured guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Edge, The Undertaker and... Fred Durst.
Smackdown Just Bring It on PS2 was the first true evolution of the Yukes wrestling engine and subsequent Smackdown games (such as Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes The Pain) would build upon the foundations established in Just Bring It.

This game was the reason I bought a PS2. I believe it was the first wrestling game released in North America that allowed six man tag matches. So much fun.
Same here, me and my brother bought this game "by mistake" so my mom could get us the PS3 for that reason back in 2001 😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣
If i remember correctly, JBI actually allowed you to have 8 people on screen at once...which didbt happen again for a long while.
@@TheOGNoName I don't believe just bring it could do 8. However, WWE royal rumble for dream cast could
@@Giantsfanlewis it is 8 player. A quick search will show that
@@johnm3907 Yes it is, in Royal Rumble matches. Also the first game where you could go into the crowd! That part didn't really live up to expectation though lol.
Oh my gosh, YES! This was the first Smackdown game I played. So many PS2 memories. My friends would go crazy with multiplayer. Good stuff.
THE LAST RIDE! THE LAST RIDE!
@@essgee4225 I hear Michael Cole when I read that. Lionsault! Lionsault! Swanton Bomb! Swanton Bomb!
@@essgee4225 This singles match will be an important match
@@essgee4225add another one: Stone Cold Steve Austin is the BEST, WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT HEAVYWEIGHT, CHAMPION, WE EVER HAD! 😂
This game blew me away with the CAW. I would print out formulas and make tons of wrestlers that never looked as legit on any game before this, including the Fire Pro games. Huge leap in CAWs for the genre.
Smackdown Just Bring It even in 2024 > WWE 2K20 to 2K23.
The weird thing about the roster being outdated and not having any of the WCW/ECW guys from Invasion, is that if you look up the default stables that are in the game, there is one called "Federation Defectors" which includes wrestlers who jumped from the WWF to the Alliance in the Invasion! So they excluded all the new Invasion roster and didn't have Invasion in the story mode but they had a stable of Invasion defectors. So weird!
What's worst is that they don't have any WCW or ECW Championships in the game either.
Well in that era it was easy for them to slightly update the video game down to the last minute. I remember reading things online about how they slightly put some mention of the invasion, into the video game
I think there was at least 3 stables with "Federation Defectors" in their name.
@@SSJ491WWF SMACKDOWN JUST BRING IT should've had all those aforementioned divisons, yet, last minute decisions suddenly removed those divisions.
I got this game for Christmas and remember finishing the story mode before Christmas dinner, I still remember the disappointment to this day
Damn.. I've never played this game (I had gamecube) but yeah that's pretty ridiculous..
HUUUUGE disappointment 🗑 plus the click bait graphics in the opening intro was a low blow 👎
3 matches 😂
@@Mzuka-Moto 😂 I thought it was a glitch. Returned it to the shop saying this can't be right.
@@Mzuka-Motosometimes even only 4 matches.
Great game for its time! It really was a huge leap. I remember getting Just Bring it, GTA 3 and THPS3 and being blown away 😂
I would disagree. Compared to the two smckdown ps1 games it was a huge leap backwards. I was really disappointed in this game when it came out and felt gulity i made my mum spend 30 pounds on it
GTA3 had my jaw on the floor when I first played it.
Gameplay and graphics were definitely a huge leap forward. But the season mode, or lack thereof, is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a video game.
it was not a huge leap graphically, shut your mouth, now that was a huge leap
Those were happy times, man
This was my first PS2 game when I got it for Christmas in 2001 and I absolutely loved it at the time, though looking back now without the "rose tinted glasses" of nostalgia I can freely admit that it really wasn't as great as I remembered it being. That's not to say that it isn't a fun game because it definitely is, just not quite at the level I felt it was back then.
I owned the first 2 SD! games, but didn't get a PS2 until Christmas '02. So I went from Smackdown 2 to Shut Your Mouth.... which was obviously mindblowing. I wasn't able to finally play Just Bring It til almost a year later, and by that point I'd already spent hours upon hours of playing SYM, so it felt super redundant and old when I did check out JBI.
The 1 major issue about JBI is the save file on the memory card. It was so god damn large that you'd need an extra memory card JUST for it. I'm glad the games that came after it didn't have that issue. 1 thing not talked about in this video is how you can fight in the audience. That's one of the coolest things, and they didn't keep that as a feature for so many years.
Yeah I was looking for a comment about fighting in the audience , didn't remember if it was on this one.
Saving each WWF Smackdown Just Bring It save data require 4278kb.
The Royal Rumble matches were the best. Having up to 8 wrestlers in the ring at one time meant it felt more genuine although in the next game it would drop to a maximum of 6.
Same! I did SOOO many 8 man battle royals, it was so cool to see all these entrances, and then fighting everybody.
@@pirajacinto4i wish WWE 2K24 had 8 man battle royale match back.
Ahh, my first Smackdown! game.... and actually the first PS2 game I bought, when I got the console, some time during the first year it was out... I was 20 years old. Great memories.
I still have it, but I haven't played it in forever.
This game didn't come out at launch lad
@@chillibeef9947 yeah, it wasn't directly at launch. It was the same year it came out though.
Same here. I ordered the PS2 with Gran Turismo 3 and Just bring it!. What a glorious Start into that Console Era.
Honestly the core gameplay still holds up. The rest, well it was a different time. Still this and the sequel are my favorite controls.
@@patrickhein6986Gran Turismo 3 even in 2024 still played awesome and legendary despite the car list is very thin. Only 186 cars in total compared to 503 in GT7.
This game brings back so many memories, I also remember the game took half of a memory card space to save the game.
I remember me and my friends being extremely hyped for this game, but when it was released, it was really disappointed when we found out (for the time of release) the roster was massively out of date.
The invasion had happened and what Just Bring It had was quite a bit behind the times.
I was disappointed in that also the season was short (wishing we would of got an invasion season mode) and this was probably the first wwe game that had been released with an outdated roster
@@shady3legend FACTS.
@@cliffordjackson3Smackdown HERE COMES THE PAIN despite only had ⅖ of the rosters from WWE 2K20, its still so beloved till this day.
"Probably trying to fork up some hush money."
Ah, timely.
Cole: This SINGLES MATCH for the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE should be great!
Tazz: Woah, woah
Cole its James, please hold position. Sorry.
One of the games I got with my PS2 along with Medal of Honour I enjoyed it my mate unlocked the ultimate unlockable " Fred Durst" lol
Back in 2001 SDJBI's intro had my jaw on the floor. I couldn't believe the graphics and animations...
...I felt so gypped.
Man, never clicked so fast in my life
Lol you're not the only one.
I remember saving peny by peny doing juggling in the streets JUST to play this damn game.
Amen
Same!
Same man
Same!
I've got to be honest out of all the 5 Smackdown games (before it became SVR) this one is the hardest to go back to IMO. It probably doesn't help I didn't play this one until after I played Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth.
A new wrestling bios video: 🙂
He covers Just Bring it: 😀
It has Steve Mfing Blackman in it: 😩
I actually disagree about the upgrade. coming from Smackdown 2 it didn't seem like a big upgrade. The graphics were a lot better but they weren't good for ps2 standards. The Gameplay felt almost identical to me besides the two finishers which was awesome. I felt like Smackdown 4 was the real next gen Smackdown.
Thank goodness shut your mouth was so good because they would have lost a lot of fans playing just bring it.
@@Micfri300 I went to buy shut your mouth eBay other day was surprised how pricey it is now a days. Amazing game but most wrestling games are on cheaper end.
@@KennyPowersUrOut depends on how well they sell. Shut your mouth and here comes the pain are on the expensive end now. Smackdown 2 is the same way. I'm glad I got my copies back in 2012. Most of my ps2 collection is worth money now. It's insane. Games I got for half off in 2012 are now worth more then most new games now. The retro market has gone crazy.
My only knock was how short the story was. I was what 11 when this came out? And even then I knew that was just a hard draft for future installments. They were just testing out the new hardware. Which that all is still relevant. Any new systems that come out you're better off waiting at least a year for you to actually get your money's worth out of it. It took so long for the 4 and the one to get quality games that I basically only play ps2/ps3 era of games now. I have zero interests in modern gaming
My god, literally watching my childhood on a Wrestling Bios video!
I used to play this game A LOT in my early adult years!
I got this game when it first came out , well my older brother bought it for us . I remember watching the commercial & being excited about how good the graphics improved & Kanes hair moving .
Such an iconic game.. loved this game for the time being. It just had a feel to it that was perfect for wrestling in this age.
Nope was trash from day one
17:26. Damn, Wrestling Bios with the savagery 💀🤣 I wouldn’t be surprised it Vince was sending out hush money.
My mind was blown when I first got to fight in the crowd of paper people as a kid 😂
The intro was such a tease. I remember watching it and thinking about how good future games would look.
The CAWs were very good for the times. You would go to smackdownhotel forums and had all of the invasion wrestlers. If you followed every meticulous detail you'd have caws that were very "real" compared to the actual wrestlers in game.
But as a kid I remember being a little let down over the game, but SYM was so much better and I had more fun with that one.
The game that made me get a PS2 in 2001. Great memories playing this game.
This game was my jam growing up. Loved it to death, played it more than the first Smackdown on PS2 and I probably wore the disc out. Never got the sequels, but this had enough in it to keep a teenage me very busy.
I actually really love your video game reviews. A lot of these I grew up with and alot I watched friends played or played at their friends house. It brings me back to growing up
I played this game endlessly and unlocked everything then played it over and over
@17:15 “I go to the parking lot, and what’s this creepy little b****** doing here? He seems like he doesn’t have time for poor little Crash Holly. He says he’s busy. Probably forking out some hush money? I don’t know!”
This part was fantastic. 😂😂😂
My parents split up in late 2001 when I was 12 but I got over it quickly because that Xmas I received a PS2 with this and GTA3.
This is my first ever wrestling game I got on the ps2 great memories.
I didn't play Just bring it and Shut your mouth. So I jumped from Know your role to Here comes the pain. IMAGINE THE LEAP! ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING
1 thing I always remembered about this game was how much space it took on a memory card. On an 8 MB memory card it took like 4173 MB so half of the card lol.
Christmas 2001, I got a PS2, this game and Metal Gear Solid 2. Good times.
Thanks for showcasing Steve Blackman at every opportunity 😍
Smackdown Shut Your Mouth was everything this game was supposed to be. Just bring it felt like a game they rushed out to keep up with the new consoles
Always brightens my day to see a new video from Wrestling Bios. 👍🙂
The commentary in this game was legendary
Michael Cole- Hurry hurry
Tazz- who you think ya talking to?
Michael Cole- The Undertaker is really a great person
Tazz- that’s dumb
Michael Cole- the rock bottom, the rock bottom
Tazz- Shut up!! 😂😂😂
Tazz- Chris Jericho is the best Intercontinental champion we’ve ever had
Michael Cole- stink face!!
Michael Cole- who will win the match?
Tazz- hey don’t look at me! 🤣🤣
Michael Cole- what’s he gonna do from behind?
Tazz- hey whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the best intros I ever seen it pulled me right in automatically
Hope you get better. Love all your stuff and love that you go into the games.
I loved the game as a teen, my dad was a huge gaming fan and bought the ps2 3 months after the console came out and he also bought this game when it was released he also loved wrestling.
I remember getting this game at launch with THQ giving a free Rock action figure with it. It was impressive at launch, but I remember it quickly feeling outdated once true PS2 games started coming out in early 2002.
This was my first wrestling game as a kid. I can't tell you how much time I spent, and how many memories I have playing this game. Amazing video that brought back loads of awesome memories!
Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet!
I owned Just Bring It back in the day. However, for one reason or another, didn’t spend all that much time playing it. I didn’t spend much time with the Smackdown series, until Here Comes The Pain, good to seeing Just Bring It being covered and reading what others made of the game.
The first game I got with my PS2 for Christmas 2001, played it to death.
Now were getting to the golden era of these games.
Yes!!!! Just got home from work and excited to watch!! This is the best channel on CZcams!
Your the only person I've seen review this and say anything good about Story Mode. Very refreshing
This is the one I've been waiting for. My friends and I played this game a ton back when it came out.
Love the wrestling game videos from you keep it up!
I look forward to these Wrestling Bios drops every week and of course I am an avid follower of Reliving the War
Same here!!!!!!!!!
I love this game and think it is extremely underrated, first wrestling game I ever played , still play it pretty regularly
This the first wrestling game I've ever played so many memories man!
That intro song is 🔥🔥🔥 greatness
@Ultra Instinct 94 I know but he usually remixes the songs
my first ever wrestling game i will never forget the memories i had on this amazing game
I remember being so underwhelmed by Just Bring It when it was released. I was a lot younger so did not appreciate the difficulty of the generation console leap the devs must have had. The career mode frustrated me with how short it could be, the commentary I switched off, and the roster was probably the most out of date in any Smackdown game to date.
In saying that your review has made me think it was probably a lot better than I gave it credit for and I was being a spoilt brat :) I will say though Shut Your Mouth was the game I was expecting Just Bring It to be! SYM was amazing and a true generation upgrade, so much fun with that game and then Yukes followed it up with their opus in HCTP!
2 OF THE BEST WRESTLING GAMES OF ALL TIME
WELL SAID 👏
"THE LAST RIDE! THE LAST RIDE!" is burned into my brain
Awesome gaming videos. Perfect when fine tuning a roster in current gen and roster ideas 😁
Tazz commentary in this game: "The Rock has a powerful (... pause... ) The People's Elbow" 😂😂😂
That opening intro was legendary. It looked so good. I remember being in shock. And then I got into the game…
I wish the in game models looked as good as that intro
@@TheMenInTightsPodcast That wasn't possible on the PS2.
Top notch as usual Mr. Bio-Man thank you sir, cheers!
The visuals were great considering the time period and just love the game play. It's why I upgraded to the PS2.
I distinctly remember the unlockables and it having what I would call "diminished returns" as your save file on your 8mb memory card would inflate quicker than fuel prices.
I'm pretty fairly certain it once everything was unlocked it was around 6.1mb. - Case in point you'd need a memory card exclusively for the game if you wanted to keep everything.
I put more hours into the PS2 Smackdown games than I care to admit. Let's just say I went through 2 consoles and multiple memory cards. I used every slot in the Create a Wrestler mode. I would even make the same roster of guys in every game. I miss those days.
As far as I know, Just Bring It and Shut Your Mouth are the only two games that Molly Holly has ever officially appeared in. She had one of the best move sets. Recreating her in later games was always fun.
This came out the same day Survivor Series 2001 took place. So from that standpoint the game was not very outdated, because the next day all WCW wrestlers were kayfabe fired.
When i started playing wrestling games i worked my way backwards from SVR and by the time i got to this i loved this game. Laughed way too hard at vince and those damn tag titles XD
The Flight Club video game used a Limp Bizkit song too. Fred was a playable character in that game as well.
I could be wrong but I think I remember reading somewhere that Fred never asked for royalty payments. He just wanted to be in the games.
I just went to your channel to rewatch one of your vids, I was about to look for the Survivor Series 97 video but seen this had just been uploaded so no need to rewatch anything, for another 22 minutes at least :))
Post X7, pre-Invasion was an awesome time in the WWF
Every time I hear you say “jam packed” I imagine Brett Hart smiles somewhere
I appreciate everything you do Big Homie

"Probably forking out some hush money."
Nail on the head, bud.
Was playing Smackdown vs Raw 2007 the other day, it's crazy how many of the animations (especially counters) that came all of the way back from this game
This was the first PS2 Game I ever played when I was introduced to the PS2 back in 2001. Great memories to this day.
SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain was the first wrestling game I ever owned but SmackDown! Just Bring It was the first wrestling game I ever played.
Same, it looked so good backed then (quality)
This was my first PS2 game. Great memories
Love these reviews please keep ‘em coming
@Wrestling Bios great analysis of the just bring it game. definitely kicking my ass now about trading it all those years ago. I need to see your video on Smackdown Shut your Mouth! really looking forward to it when you decide to put it out.
The season mode was so short, that when I played it I thought my copy was broken. I took it back and got GTA 3.
“Probably forking out some hush money or something”🤣☠️
This game was so ahead of its time since 8 men can be in a royal rumble
Thanks for all that you do man.
Praying you feel better.
God is good! 💙💯
I still have this game for my PlayStation 2 game console but my favorite ones to play or Here Comes the Pain of all versus Smackdown wall versus butt down 2000 Here Comes the Pain the first 2000 five versus Smackdown and 2006 that was my favorite ones right there
WWF Smackdown Just Bring It. I have that game on the PlayStation 2 and it was my first pro wrestling game on the PS2 and my PlayStation 2 was my video game console system.
When my brother and I got our first PS2 this was a demo for either one of the gaming mags or the disc that came with the console. We absolutely fuckin rinsed that demo until we had enough pocket money to finally buy the full game. The step up in quality was insane back then from the smack down ps1 games. Good memories and the start of a good run of WWF/E games on PS2
Gotta say I'm not a big wrestling fan now days but I love your channel especially these wrestling game videos
Congrats on 300k!!
This was my first wrestling game 🔥🔥
I love the Power Move soundtrack in the background of the videos
Loved this game, had the 4 way adapter everyone was on it at the 4812 barracks
Yo i played this game countless hours and never knew you could unlock the smackdown fist arena 🤯
This was my second wrestling game that I play (the first one was WrestleMania 2000 for Nintendo the 64).
I LOVE this game, one of my first PS2 games, the arenas, the 6 man matches and the music make my childhood.
I laughed so hard at your comment "Vince trying to come up with some hush money" now I have the hiccups and I can't get rid of them
I used to have this game, and I actually used to like it. My favorite characters were "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Rikishi & The Big Show. So many great memories!!!
Cant believe you didnt show fighting in the crowd..first game to do so...it was funny watching the 2d crowd do a weird slide shuffle out of your way lol
I was absolutely blown away by this as a kid when the ps2 came out. I was obsessed with it
Dude I loved the dreamcast, do a shen mu video , loved driving the forklift!!
