- In the early 2000s, you couldn't walk 2 feet without bumping into a new WWE video game. With the SmackDown! series running on the PlayStation, RAW holding things down on the Xbox, and WrestleMania keeping the GameCube side of things covered, everyone had a little something of their own. This installment of Triangle X Squared O: The Wrestling Games Retrospective Series is going to zoom in on the latter, DanDans. The Nintendo GameCube may not have set the world on fire in the sales department, but I'll be damned if that little guy didn't play host to some fantastic games in its time. 2003's WWE WrestleMania XIX picks up where it's predecessor left off, improving in every way, and solidifying the GameCube as a great place to be for wrestling fans.

The Orton song is actually the first Evolution's song used for a couple of weeks before Motorhead.... it was a real theme....
So I've been told, lol. Seems they only used it a few times. Makes sense why it's not memorable.
This game is very underrated. Wouldn't call it the best on the gamecube.( The best for me is day of reckoning 2) but wm 19 is still good
It's definitely good, no doubt.
Day of reckoning 2 is the best on GameCube no doubt it has a no mercy vibe
Day of Reckoning 2 is one of the greatest of all time, no doubt.
@@616Entertainment You should do a RETROSPECTIVE of the game WrestleMania 21, and RAW & RAW 2 for the XBox.
@@dustinhogle3844 Stay tuned.
The N64 and Gamecube got some bangers when it comes to wrestling games.
And PS2
The Creation in this game is madness! You can make an advance body, gear, moveset, and advanced entrance ! It was ahead of its time and one of the Best wrestling games ever.
It's really a good one, no doubt.
shame the rest of this game sucked lol
@@paulwoodford1984You must’ve played WM21 then
@@paulwoodford1984Wrong!
WrestleMania XIX/Day of Reckoning/Day of Reckoning 2 are some of my favorites. They were the first wrestling games that I was really good at and could wrestle against the CPU on the hardest difficulty and kick their butt. For over 10 years, these were the wrestling games my friends and I came back to.
XIX holds up pretty well, too. Dated, but still fun.
@@616EntertainmentToo dated? Nah it is not too dated
The Evolution song by Motorhead didn't come out until after this game released. Orton has it in Raw 2 as well. lol
So I've been told, lol. I guess they only used it a couple times, makes sense why it's not very memorable.
Can’t tell you how many hours I spent on Revenge Mode & laughing at the sound effects the workers made when you attacked them
Hahahahhaha
The last ride off that like 60 ft construction tower thing:
"AAAAAAAAaaaaaaa a a a a a"
"Eliminated"
Possibly the most satisfying wrestling video game moment of all time lol
I was playing X8 about a week ago thinking how much I’d like to see a 616 episode on X8 and XIX together. Love it 🤘🏻❤️
Well, here we are. =)
WRESTLEMANIA 21 ON XBOX. I remember it looked amazing and having full voice acting. Then the bell rang...
Really damn good story mode too. Too bad the gameplay was complete trash 🗑
Most garbage wrestling game I've ever played in my life. It sucked badly!
And then the bell ring is extremely appropriate for that game.
This was the first wrestling game I bought since no mercy had come out. I was a lapsed fan at the time but this brought me right back into the fold. My stepdad wasn't a gamer at all but he loved watching me play this. He got it for me for my bday that year. We'd set up fantasy matches and tournaments. Good memories. RIP Doug. I'll play this in honor of you.
Dude those are some of the best memories, right?
For me this is the true successor of No Mercy. The system, the feel. Probably in my Top 5 of wrestling games.
Day of reckoning 2 was peak wrestling game. I wish day of reckoning 2 gameplay was on WrestleMania 19 wrestlers
Owned this game and played it with friends a lot. Revenge mode was something different and often frustrating. Wait I still own this and sneak a quick game in the wii every once in a while
It's still a good time, no doubt.
Aww yes. The first really good wwe game on the GameCube. After the mediocre WrestleMania x8, this was a huge improvement in almost every way. Just a shame, many didn’t like the revenge mode. Yes day of reckoning 1 and 2 are so much better but XIX is really fun too.
Um No
@@pesamino3503 lol
Your opinion is your opinion, Jacob. Not everyone's.
I agree completely.
I agree, one thing wrestlemania x9 did best was the championship mode, it was fun as hell especially tornado tag team matches. The random opponents picks would put male wrestlers with females haha.
Weekend in bed with 616Entertainment videos to confort my dilapidated soul, it's what the dr recommended to get over these difficult times
That's a good doctor right there, man.
Playing multiplayer games before the online era was the best experience of gaming. So much trash talking, making alliances, playing mind games, bringing your controller, memory card or even your own system, while breaking night playing for hours. Glad I lived through those times.
Dude no doubt. Local multiplayer was special.
this was the first wrestling game i ever owned as a kid, and it's still a great time. Revenge Mode is so fun and unique (when it isn't frustrating) and i remember as a kid, I didn't know how to do regular matches in a ring, I thought they weren't in the game. because i didn't know what "Exhibition" meant, it thought it was some boring museum mode or something, so i never clicked it in like three years, but it was still one of my favourite games to play even without that.
Hahahaha. I love that.
Still have my original copy along with x8, used to spend hours and hours with my cousin on both especially 19's revenge mode however i never played day of reckoning but always wanted to.. Great video man, i appreciate retrospectives on your channel, truly takes me back bro
12:15 bro you killed me with the youre fired impression! 😂😂😂😂
The story about your friend touched me. I had a similar situation. I had a ps2 he had a GameCube. He came over played my ps2 I played on his GameCube. He unfortunately passed away when I was 14, I’ll always miss him and your story about Bobby reminded me of the good times thank you, and I miss you Spencer Van Klavern
Look bruh, if i'm an independent contractor getting paid to build a site for an annual sporting event and Stone Cold is running at me in ring gear, he's getting shot.
I wouldn't press charges.
xD
Saw this and the kid in me screamed like a lil girl. I only had a GameCube growing up and I thrived on this game
Hahahahaha, hope you enjoyed it!
U know Ian is 100 percent better when he starts doing the Vince McMahon voice
Hahahaha I've been doing it for weeks on 616SD!
Finally. This game is a gem. Terrific roster, solid controls & fun game modes.
One thing I’m surprised you didn’t get into though is the customization in regards to move set & entrances.
Finally indeed. I always tell you guys "down the line" or "in due time." If it's not going to happen, I'll tell you. Otherwise, patience. =)
@@616Entertainment No worries, always appreciate the content. Any plans to maybe do Lucha Libre AAA one day?
Does anybody remember when undertaker faced off against A-train and big show at the actual wm 19? I recently rewatched the event and I kinda forgot that match happened
Yeah, that match was crazy.
@@gabrielbondyb8646 idk why people don't really like it tbh
Nathen Jones was supposed to be in it. Taker had a hell of an intro at that PPV.
@@EasyE3939 true
Yea, not really worth remembering. Definitely a low point in the Streak.
this is the first video ive watched from your channel, awesome content man! ill surely be viewing more.
I'm not even mad about that table SMASH! launch lmfao
Hahahaahaha
Bravo. Great as always dude!!
Thanks for watching. =)
Day of Reckoning hopefully real soon! Man I love these videos brotha man!
All in due time.
Yea cant wait, Day of Reckoning 2 is my favourite wrestling game of all time. Back in the day I could only afford a second hand GameCube and while my friends all played SVR I was always trying to convince them DOR2 was the ultimate wrestling game. Miss those days!
Another amazing retrospective, 616. As a PS2/SmackDown/SvR kid the GameCube wrestling games always fascinated me. And I legit didn't know they went out of their way to get AKI involved with this game. Very cool!
2003 Masked Kane in WWE Wrestlemania X.I.X GameCube game was my very top number 1 favorite Kane and Smackdown Here Comes the Pain.
CEO Kane 2nd top favorite.
Your summary is exactly how I feel. Shoutout to my old friend Ryan McElreavy. Haven’t heard from him in over a decade but I remember many late nights of playing wrestlemania 19 with him as a kid.
Yoooo I forgot about this game. I loved it for it's time on the GC and those tiny discs lol
They were super tiny, man. What a bad idea, hahaha
@@616Entertainment Tiny but could hold a full Dreamcast game. People can say that because GameCube use tiny disc, it's the reason why most of its games are on multiple disc but I seen PS2 games that were also on multiple disc and those were DVD.
Another great video Ian!
Was going to bed but NOPE this dropped. Awesome 🥳
Hope you got some sleep after, hahahaha
Great video as always dude! I can't wait for the Day of Reckoning games to be covered.
In due time, in due time.
@@616Entertainment yes we need day of reckoning! Being a Nintendo supporter and AKI guy, I thought it was the best wrestling game since no mercy. I remember playing these Gamecube games and hitting an RKO out of nowhere and wiping out everyone in the ring cause of the collision mechanic.
I've been waiting for you to start talking about the WWE games on the gamecube. Patience pays off.
Yes indeed, it does.
One of the first wrestling games that I ever played. I remember my cousin had this and we had a ball playing WM 19 all of the time. That prompted him to find Day of Reckoning & No Mercy (he had an N64), while I picked up SvR 06 & 07. Good times!
Great times, man.
Evolution was actually using the instrumental version called " Evolve " while the game was being developed.
So I've been told, lol. I guess they only used it a couple times, makes sense why it's not very memorable.
@@616Entertainment Thank you for this great video! I'm looking foward for your Day Of Reckoning and Day Of Reckoning 2 review.😊
Ah yes. Wm 19 had that "season" mode where you can kill innocent people lol
Hahahahaha
Bro, as much as I love your reviews, the heart felt moments when you talk about your childhood, or the memories you have with a game, the nostalgia. That means a lot. It goes beyond just a bland one note review, and makes it so much more personal. I can relate so much to a lot of your stories, especially with those early WWE games. On another note, the revenge mode, man I wish they had stuff like that today. Yeah it's fucking insane, and someone was smoking some good shit for sure HAHAH, but it was unique and interesting. I never got to experience the Gamecube WWE games, I was a playstation boy all the way. Maybe I should try and make that happen.
Can I just say I love the shirt the original Halloween was one of my favorite movies growing up. Love every video you make and keep up the amazing work.
The History of Halloween premieres 6-16-2021, be there!
This! This has been the recap video I've been waiting for! I didn't have a GameCube & none of my friends did growing up. I know basically ZERO about these games
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love the story of your buddy..got a few this game has so many memories
I was and always will be a PlayStation boy, I did however get a GameCube a few years ago only to play the wrestling titles and I’m glad I did! It’s been a while since I fired up the cube, this video is gonna make me play more! Thanks for another great video 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Excellent choice.
Great video and trip down the memory lane as always, man. I hope you and your friend Bobby are back in touch after all these years. I’m in the same exact boat but luckily we still check on each other every now and then. It sucks to lose a childhood friend with so many memories.
We're not. I don't have any way of contacting him or anything, either. It's okay. It's not like something bad happened and our relationship soured, sometimes you just grow apart, ya know? No bad blood, nothing nasty. It's okay!
Love ur videos my bro can listen to you talk about old school games all day.. wait I already do that. But seriously u got me back into gaming hard again thanks man 💯🔥
Hell yea, man. Thanks for being here.
@@616Entertainment no doubt !
My favorite part is there's actually a Wilhelm scream when you toss those union workers off the structures. A Wilhelm scream in a wrestling game 😂😂😂
Hahahahaha it's very similar.
I personally liked the collision detection in this series.
Seems like it's 50-50 so far.
Hell yeah. X8 is one of my favourites. Played it sooo much
Really fun game, for sure.
Now this game brings back so many memories man thank you for that
Thanks for watching!
I am happy for you man, you always deliver for us, and you should get more credit for the hard work as not a lot of people are as passionate as you and I am grateful to be part of your community. Note as you can tell, I am trying my best to comment to you as I have been worked up lately, but just know I will come back to show my appreciation.
Thanks man. There's been a ton of positive comments and even a good handful of new Patreon supporters as well. It's all great. =)
I still play through the entire Revenge Mode every year to this day. It is that much fun!
Yes!!!!! So happy and excited for this
Hope you liked it!
@@616Entertainment I loved it this video, but I was talking about the ECW games video coming! I've been wanting you to do those for awhile!
Did you ever review War Zone and Attitude? Those four games are like the opposite of the Nintendo AKI Four, as I like to call them haha. No I don't count Virtual Pro Wrestling that's in japanese and I have to use roms to play them so phooey, how am I supposed to read Vader's name in Japanese c'mon
While I'm talking about it was Giant Baba's finisher a Giant Swing? That's what it is in VPW2
Another home run, Ian.
And I'm very happy to see you're over the brush with Covid. Good job surviving the squash match and making the big babyface comeback.
I loved Both 18 & 19! They were so underrated, & only a couple of my friends that I actually played games with even had a gamecube. But I played a ton & have all great memories from it! Well done My G!!!
Thanks for watching, dude! More to come.
I've got some super fond memories of Crush Hour and Wrestlemania X8 at my buddy Donnies house. His mom knew how much we loved wrestling and I practically lived with him for awhile. I miss you Connie. RIP.
RIP to Connie, man.
Oh, btw I commented on your Resident Evil video mentioning my cousin who was in a terrible moto wreck last year. Well, he's still alive. Fighting like he always has. He's woken up. Small steps but we still have a long way to go. Thank you so much for your videos. The distractions from daily life is very welcoming. Again, thank you Ian.
Good work Ian!
Thanks Ryan!
I haven't commented on a video in a long time, so I just wanted to say that I'm loving all the content. Thanks for the entertainment. I'm glad to be a DanDan
You've gotta check them out, man!
What a great Video!! Back in the days thus Game has a unique Game Mode!! The Roster was awesome!! I can t wait to see the upcoming ecw Video!! for me it was WWF Attitude 2.0 with Same graphics !!! Have a nice day Dude!!
It's going to be a good time, man.
21:35 is so good. Such perfect setup and execution.
Your skits of people asking questions get me every time man. Hilarious.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I never played X8 that I can recall, but 19 was one I bought and I was beyond confused at the Revenge mode haha. I ran with it though, made it totally my own. I created Bane in the CAW, and had him be my revenge mode guy, since it’d make sense that a DC villain would go around murdering general contractors. The gameplay was fun, even though it made no sense.
Seeing Scott Steiner miss that chain and get hit by a car had me laughing. I forgot about that ridiculous element of these games.
It’s been a long time, I don’t really remember the game looking as good as it did. I don’t have a GameCube anymore or else I’d probably try to get this one again. Great video, man!
Dude see that's the move. Create a character that doesn't look so out of place sending people to their doom, hahaha. Bane is an excellent choice. Thanks for watching, Cap!
When i was young, me and my best buddy would go to my uncles house, he had this fucking huge trampoline and we made wrestler costumes and gave ourselves names. I was Shawn Martel And he was Kevin Cena (He wanted to play the offspring of cena) as i was playing a family member of Rick the model LOL. Your channel reminds me of that all the time its amazing
Dude yes! I love that!
Oh hell yeah I've been looking forward to this.
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@616Entertainment Definitely did! Every video from you is fire 🔥
That bust-up during the post-credits sequence was worth the whole video. I love you, Ian!
Hahahaha you're probably the one one who saw it, lol
Hook triangle x squared O right into my veins man I love it!
A mainline right into the bloodstream.
I remember my mon got me this game as Valentine's day gift wen i was 5 this was like the 3rd gamecube game i ever had fudgin memories man
Dude you gotta love those memories.
I´m still a big fan of Nintendo WWE games.
To this day WrestleMania XIX still the game that never played.
Oh noooo! Play it!
I gave this video a thumbs up solely because of the Supergirl poster! But seriously, this game damn near burned my GameCube to death. I couldn't get enough of the gameplay, it reminded me of no mercy in a sense. Another great video to your playlist
Thanks for watching! And yea, gotta show some love to Supergirl, no doubt.
Another great video. You don't understand how much that chain part in Revenge Mode pissed me the fuck off as a kid. Just about broke the Gamecube.
I thoroughly enjoy your content. Keep up the great work.
Yessir. Thanks!
Hate that I never got to play these games man. Just never got around to do so and missed out. Great double header my dude, wrestling games will always be nostalgic even if these ones got away from me.
#ThanksForWhatYouDo
#WearetheDanDans
#MuchLove
Thanks for watching, my dude. Glad you're liking the double headers.
thank you for waking everyone in my house up with that alarm thing at the beginning.
Maaaaaan what the hell you listening so loud for if everyone’s sleeping? That’s on you, not me!
@@616Entertainment i wasn’t. it was louder than the rest of the video, at least for me. it’s not a big deal just yeah lol
I'm so glad someone covered this game and the bizarre wrestling murder simulation that Revenge Mode is.
Hahahahahahaaha
Watching An upload from the fucking king, in the latest installment of one of my favorite CZcams series!
Terrific way to finish off the day!!
Hahahaha thanks man.
I Loved WM 18 & 19 I played them both to death growing up as well as DOR 1 & 2 they were all so much fun I miss my GameCube I plan on getting these again true gems.
Do it!
Good shit bro
This game was and still is very, very fun to play. Awesome video, as usual, man! Be safe!! 👊
Thanks man, you too.
@@616Entertainment Thanks, much appreciated! By the way, I also had a problem with a wrestler in these games taking a bump because they were too close to a move taking place.
Happy Saturday Ian! Thank you brother for uploading this video! I’m eating my breakfast and watching some CZcams videos before I go to work at 8am.This made my morning! ❤️👍🏻
Great way to start!
Once again hitting the nostalgia button for me with another great video man. Asking to go rent a video game on a weekly basis and ending up getting these 2 or the Smackdown games every time. 💚
Also as a huge Halloween fan and collector, I cannot wait for those videos🔪🎃
Dude yes!
Fantastic username, too
I always loved when you could take a bump from a nearby move happening. It was realistic. Especially for an early 2000’s game.
Egh. Not a fan. I also don't see it as realistic. How many times on TV do you see someone do a suplex and the other two guys are in the way?
@@616Entertainment I understand that. I think I’m talking more so from a selfish point lol. I remember a few times where I was getting pinned and about to lose and someone did a move that broke up the pin for me 😂😂😂
I was super loyal to GameCube, and my cousin was very loyal to PS2, and I remember we would always go back and forth as far as which console was superior when it came to WWE games. PS2 definitely won, but, the GameCube and it’s WWE games will always hold a special place in my childhood and heart.
As a huge wrestling game fan I will not die happy unless I get a chance to try that revenge mode looks hilarious lol.
I loved this!!! I can't wait for the ECW video.
It's going to be big time.
As always, great video Ian! I'm actually surprised you didn't talk about WM 19's amazing create-an-entrance. At that time, it was by far the most amazing create-an-entrance mode in wrestling games. You can choose when your wrestle walks out onto the ramp and the timing of all the lighting and fireworks. It was amazing! I'm was happy that the reckoning games kept it in tact!
I could've, but I try to focus mostly on gameplay and whatnot. Several of you have pointed out the create features though, so maybe it's a little more important than I though.
@@616Entertainment you should consider making a video series for Day of Reckoning 1 or 2 where you create a wrestler and entrance, and go through the story mode. As entertaining as you are, I'd be all for it.
3:43 Thank you for clarifying for them...
Tons of people don't know, gotta do my part, lol
loved this game, played the hell out of it.
Holds up pretty well, too.
WM XIX is an underrated gem. Revenge is so much fun while being a giant pain in the ass.
Agreed on all fronts.
Bro you were really throwing shots this video like when I heard the Benoit and the referee thing I was like holy shit (Also good video)
Hahahaha, glad you liked that.
Idgaf when this video game out and how late I am. The amount of Hurricane love in this video made me so happy. Still waiting for his induction into the HOF.
Wrestlemania X8 for the Gamecube was my First Ever Video Game and my introduction to wrestling Back in 2008
Great place to start!
I can't wait for you to review the BEST wrestling games ever made in the Day of Reckoning series
In due time, in due time.
I still throw this game in here and there to this day. God I need to move back and get a group of friends together to go nuts in this game again. I have all the MK ninjas created with their own unique movesets and entrances and my 1st original character I made back when I was like 11, Rex. Was pretty much just a buff dude in a dinosaur mask but that didnt stop preteen me giving him the Heavyweight title and dubbing him the King of RAW.
Uggh this game brings back so many memories that I wish I could re-live
I love that.
@@616Entertainment Finishing moves were the running big boot (Dino Stomp), Triple german suplex (REXplex), and the triple powerbomb (REXbomb). In my head the crowd would spell out his name with each suplex or powerbomb with his finishers lol
They'd cheer out R-E-X!!! and the match was over
I remember having this game and playing it when I was younger. Pretty sure it was the first wrestling game I ever bought. Revenge mode was fun at times but also a pain in the ass too. Hope you end up covering both Day of Reckoning games in the future, got even more memories with those.
High chance of the DOR games getting covered as well, yessir.
I have one of these games but I don't remember which one. Guess that gives me a reason to dig it out soon. Amazing job with the vid as always Ian! 👊
Thanks dude!
I’ve been waiting for this one for a while can wait for ecw and day of reckoning keep it up.
The ECW episode will be great, I assure you.
Honestly I truly appreciate the swerve alert 📢
I honestly wished I did play Wrestlemania X8 cause it did looked cool but Wrestlemania XIX will always be my childhood favorite loved the detail of the superstars I definitely enjoyed revenge to a extent but other than that it was a great game great video bro
Yea man, XIX is a great time.
Sorry...just looking at the poster behind you again... 😂🔥😍
i love these videos i cant wait till he gets to the svr 07-11
I've stated that 2007 will happen, but there are no plans for 2008-2011.
