The History of WWE on Xbox (Full Movie)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2023
- From No Mercy to SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain, from SmackDown! vs. RAW to 2K23, WWE's video game catalog has many, many bangers. Post every big time console up on the board and there's a great chance that WWE has planted their flag on it's surface. Today, we dial it down, we zoom in on Microsoft's first home console, the Xbox. These were the days when Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft had their own exclusive WWE games, meaning there's no sharing amongst the big three. WWF RAW, WWE RAW 2 and WWE WrestleMania 21 hold a... very specific place in history. Let's get to it.

The first Raw was basically unplayable, but the fact you could rip music from your CD collection for your CAW entrance was amazing at the time
You could do the same for the GTA games too
@@jl9602honestly most games like midnight club too
Even fifa 11 on ps3 did that. Shit was dope
I think The SVR games on PS3 let you do it aswell
Never played the first one but enjoyed raw 2 with my homie after work on fridays
Fun fact. in WWF Raw, when you create a wrestler, the weapons in the game scale with the size of your wrestlers hands.....it's amazing giving your wrestler giant hands and then you pick up a chair and it is GIGANTIC.
I like how Wrestlemania 21 came out a whole year before the PPV even happened as well so we didn't even have the stage from Wrestlemania 21 in the game. It was just a Wrestlemania XX stage with the logo taped over it.
they were on that black tar heroin when they designed these games hahaha
Made in 2004, released in 2005 that’s why.
The game did not come out in 2004, the release was April 20th 2005.
@@ProWrestlingFan1995 still doesnt mean it was smart logically
I can't lie I'm a little low key bummed you couldn't show the career mode in WrestleMania 21 but I don't blame you for not wanting to buy another copy
The career mode is ass anyway bro.
to be fair you should blame the studio for that happening.
Problems aside... I have a feeling IAN would of made a series on the side based on the WM21 career. It's so bad.... it be hilarious content.😅
It's nothing to write home about, you really just playing a series of matches.
@@KidTonyGaming I know I've owned this game and played it a hundred times it's just I like the way he reviews games and everything I just wanted to hear the way he would review the career mode
These 3 videos are easily some of your best and are some of my favorites from you, Ian, and I can’t thank you enough for covering them and compiling them into 1 video😁. Your Mania 21 video especially, still has me cracking up right now😂🤣. Hope you and the DanDans continue to have great days ahead.😊❤️
I feel horrible. This is like a car wreck, and not one that I’m just randomly discovering. I know what this is and I’m gonna watch it anyway. I’m compelled to watch this, knowing the horror that awaits beyond the play button.
I wouldn’t trust myself with someone else’s Xbox if I was playing Wrestlemania 21.
I appreciate these longer videos because sometimes life just doesn't let me keep up with individual episodes. Thanks for releasing these!
Raw 2 is awesome IMO. Great gameplay, roster, and variety.
this gay is ultra idiot the season mode is the best season mode and raw 2 have the best roster in all wwe games
Your videos seem to do well with the "history of" title so this was a good move! Plus, now I can throw this video on in the background while I do chores lol
This trilogy evoked some real trauma in the #1 Dandan. He probably heard that WM21 console grinding noise in his sleep now.
I’m going to enjoy binge watching this! Thank you Ian!
Bro I'm subscribed to your channel and everything I love your game reviews not only do you review the games but you just take us back to our childhood plus I just love the fact that you can relate a lot of the time cuz you played these games too
raw 2, hctp and wrestlemania xix all share the same soundtrack
I'd bet that the RVD Frog Splash commentary in WrestleMania 21was placeholder audio left in by the developers. The guy speaking most likely was one of the audio designers who recorded it to fill the space where the legit commentary line would have eventually gone.
You said the Smackdown arena was cut from Raw 2 but it looks like it was in the season mode?
These videos are awesome btw. Your appreciation for the small features is exactly the type of thing that I did with any wrestling game when firing up. So thanks for covering the little nuances.
I had a PS2 first so I played all the SD games which are the GOATs. But my older brother was thrilled by the Halo demo in our local Game store, and he had just started working. So he bought the original Xbox, and I eventually got the first WWF Raw game Pre-owned for a cheap price. I might have got Raw 2 but I don’t remember it as much. And I owned WM21 but I thought it was a GameCube game from memories, maybe because they had the Wrestlemania games with X-8 and XIX.
I remember not playing Xbox wrestling games much. It made all the sense to play the SD games as priority. I only went to the Xbox for variety.
Naw,he said the 1st RAW didn't have the Smackdown Arena.I can actually vouch for this,because I played this at a friends' house when i was younger and it definitely didn't have any other Arena besides RAW.Kinda sad really.I remember me and my homeboy wanted to fight in the Smackdown Arena SO damn badly,we ended up taking RAW out,switched from the XBOX to the Playstation 2,and put in Smackdown Just Bring It just so that we could fight in the Smackdown Arena.
One of my absolute fondest, GREATEST gaming memories is just a mere few seconds back in 2005.
My best friend was an Xbox guy, and I was a GameCube guy.
We were playing WrestleMania 21 on his Xbox in his dorm room at college.
If you played WrestleMania 21, you know the commentary comes on while the match is still loading.
I am Bret, he is HBK.
During the loading screen, JR says "We are coming to you live from Calgary, Alberta, Canada".
As soon as the match loads, you hear "Yee Haw!!" from the crowd. We were rolling on the floor laughing so hard.
To this day, if either one of us says "We are coming to you live from Calgary, Alberta, Canada" the other one immediately says "Yee Haw!!".
We also made several great memories with Raw 2's Season Mode trying to drop a box on Hogan (it was always Hogan) and we would always laugh if it would take him out, or miss, and he looks around all confused.
Great times.
Hahahahahha. I love it.
That’s a joke in D-Von. He’s legit scared of heights and wouldn’t climb the ladders in real life. It’s great the game incorporated it 😂
I said it before and I'll say it again. I LOVED Raw 2. We didn't get a PS2 until around 2007 or 2008, so my time with the much preferred Here Comes the Pain was limited. But I owned Raw 2, and my brother and I put so many hours into it. I wouldn't trade that for the world.
That said, you're 100% spot on. The game is bad.
Nothing wrong with loving a bad game, I still play madden 😂
I remember when the first Raw came out for PC it was already super outdated. The Raw stage had already switched over to the classic ruthless aggression one. But man did I love playing it and I was involved DEEP with the WWF raw modding world!
Enjoy these long videos brotha. Can't believe I still haven't played most of these man. Never liked Xbox so I missed out on they're wrestling exclusives. But I won't lose sleep over it lol Great video nonetheless👍

I still go back to your channel and watch these retrospective movies from time to time over n over. Eventhough I've seen them all a few times idk why I just like going back n getting my nostalgic fix
I searched WM 21 the game and here this was so here i am again good video
Ian, I really Love WWF SmackDown, WWF SmackDown 2 , and the Legendary WWE SmackDown 5
Oh man, the referee voice on Raw 2 broke me!!😂 EEEELIMINATED!🤣
have you thought about doing an ongoing series where you review full years in wrestling? or would it be easier to review the 12-18 PPVs each year (depending on brand split) and the months worth of storylines leading to the card matches)
like "Royal Rumble 1997" and you start with the weeks leading up to it and what happened with who etc, ending with the results etc - your commentary means a lot to us for pop culture - especially wrestling , and not only for games. It would be amazing if you could do something like this
Friend growing up owned an Xbox and I unfortunately had to succumb to Raw 2 and 21. I vividly remember being infuriated because I couldn’t break the tables. Raw 2 had amazing graphics for the time imagine HCTP with those visuals.
Another great vid!
As a huge WWE games enjoyer throughout all my life, it's funny that the first time I ever played a WWE game was Raw 2 as an 8 years old kid, and I only played it two times because I was at my cousins' house, I remember that I used Scott Steiner, and Chuck Palumbo on those two matches
Your content is amazing
616 never stops
The “I Quit” comment was funny to me,
What’s crazy is I remember seeing the cover art and thought wow this game don’t look bad then looked up gameplay and well I was like wow that’s bad😂
I never owned the first Xbox or a gamecube so their exclusive wrestling games really intrigued me for their good and bad
The gamecube wwe games improved every release. Wrestelmania 18 was good but flawed, 19 was a good wrestling game, day of reckoning 1 was a great wrestling game, and day of reckoning 2 is in my top 5 greatest wrestling games of all time
Raw 1 segment, holy shit that was funny. Great stuff 10/10. Raw 2? Thank you! You shared the same views me and my brother had. We enjoyed the season mode concept, the creation tool was eh, but we didn’t mind it, entrances? Amazing. But the gameplay? Dog shit. Me and my bro loved No Mercy, Day of Reckoning, Shit your mouth and Here comes the pain. They were actually fun.
Brooo I spent so much of my free time on Raw 2 as a kid!!!
It seems like WrestleMania 21 is the Jenna Morasca vs Sharmell of games 😂
I love that you did an Xbox thing. That's dope
Getting my food ready for this one.
I just air fried some pizza rolls 😊
You got any soda to drink?
Ive been meaning to comment on this for a while, in Wrestlemania 21, in order to unlock the Career mode you have to create a wrestler first once you do that. The career mode unlocks automatically.
WWE WrestleMania XIX GameCube game
&
Xbox WWE Raw 2 game
Smackdown vs Raw games as volume set
Smackdown here comes the Pain
All old wrestling video games deserves a remaster by different studios
i can play all but wwe 2 raw on my xbox series
While a terrible game, the career mode actually runs well with WrestleMania 21. The game itself functions and its story is actually good.
How does one get to the career anyway?!
I'm a proud owner of a 1st gen XBOX and THE only genre I'm missing IS wrestling. So thanks for the highly informative and well timed video 👍
After this 1 hour+ video, I gotta join Patreon and help my dan dan Ian!
16:19 in Smackdown 3 Just Bring It, I actually created K-Kwik, Justin Credible and Rey Mysterio, DDP and a few others. The hours I wasted doing that was unbelievable.. I might just get it off eBay and do it again just for nostalgia 😊
Have to admit I actually kinda enjoyed The Simpson’s wrestling as a kid
Me too. Technically, it was bad, but it still provided lots of fun and laughs if you and your friends were all fans of wrestling and The Simpsons.
Raw’s presentation & graphics with HCTP’s gameplay would’ve been amazing
Creation wise, Raw and Raw 2 were and still my favorite
Best thing bout Raw 2 was The custom music to rip during entrance, You could make Evolution, nWo, gave many Superstars updated music was awesome Like Y2J King of The World music with his entrance was God tier.
16:34 I only ever had 2 games (well games series I should say) on the PC, Command & Conquer and Sim City. I can imagine a wrestling game on the PC must of been quite tricky to play.
yea the 2k games need a hell in a cell like this
You could use the Xbox hard drive to upload music to the console and use that music as entrance music for you CAC...that was my favorite feature of Wrestlemania 21. Thats it.
I'm sorta disappointed you didn't catch that you can have a custom tron on Raw 2. You can also customize Rey to look more like the one in the trailer. I had all three of these games and actually had the launch version of WrestleMania 21 since I pre-ordered it from blockbuster when I was a kid. On top of that I didn't have internet so I didn't play with the patch until about 16 years later when showing it to a friend. If I can remember correctly you have to create a wrestler before you can start the career mode. You didn't miss much. The only interesting things on career mode is the arenas and legends. For the arenas they had the Civic Center, Boiler Room which was just a ring in a boiler room looking area but I always liked the indy like hs gym.
Back in 2006 they had a mod for the PC Verizon of this game called total edition, it updated the raw stage, and all the wrestlers, I didn't know this was WWF RAW, and I was high upset the game was bare dry, I thought I t was a old WWF game from 1999, but I did learn how to mod (changing entrance videos and music) the create an entrance is the most in depth part of this game
To be fair a lot of disc skipping issues are due to either xbox lasers or scratched discs.
Raw 2 was my favorite, especially the rumble
Its easy to hate on RAW 2 and WM21 now, but at the time i had a lot of fun with both of those games. In particular, the in depth career mode in RAW 2 was awesome. It was cool for someone who liked no mercy, i was a kid back then so i didnt really notice much of the negative aspects. Whoever was developing it obviously would've benefitted from having more time though, they didnt quite use the xbox to its full potential
It was easy to notice how bad it was, when you played on ps2.. shit was tough my cousin had the ps2 and I would. Go over everyday to play SYM and HCTP. Then when I finally saw a wwe title on Xbox shit was ass lol
@@NinjaFingers19 I had a PS2, GameCube, and Xbox. All three of the wrestling games released in 2003: Here Comes the Pain on PS2, Wrestlemania 19 on GameCube, and Raw 2 on Xbox were great and each had aspects that they did better than the games on the other consoles. The other two wrestling games on Xbox did indeed suck though, but Raw 2 was great.
Wait, hold up. In Wrestlemania 21, there are rope breaks in the Hell in the Cell? Was that the default setting? I know that is such a small detail, but it stopped me in my tracks XD.
I am loving the superman collection its awesome my favourite WWE games were the smackdown vs raw games like SD vs raw 07. 09 2010 and 2011 i played 2k17 but didn't like how the controls were
I have a copy of Wrestlemania 21 somewhere it’s yours if you want to see if the career mode will work for you. I bought it years ago and never played it. For some reason I thought it would be backwards compatible on the 360 but it was not. I have no idea if the career mode will work but like I said it’s yours if you want it.
You create a CAW for it to unlock.
Nice Superman collection, holy shit. 🤙
when i saw that freez after the pin fall on wm21 i thought for a second is the disc scratched nah thanks for letting me know about these issues before i spent money on that glitch fest of a game and i thought 2k20 was the worst
Surprised you didn't talk about the walking animations in WWF Raw
Will you please do a series on the wwe games for the 360/PS3 😊
I remember having wrestlemania 21 and it was glitchy like that.
I also wanna know who voiced that RVD line now too.. damn it
Hey Tazz, what's your prediction for this match? Sota! Is Michael Cole's best call ever
Crazy that same Jeff hardy model was cut from HCTP also
I had all the consoles all the wrestling games
what a time
i heard that wwf raw 2 lets you go outside the ring during the royal rumble. Ive watched vids looks cool.
What I remember my buddy showing me was you could do custom downloaded songs as theme music on RaW
RAW 2.
I have seen RAW 2 & WM 21 in school as friends borrow pretty they popular
Ian is it possible for you to create a history of WWF/E Gameboy titles. Most of the Gameboy WWF/E games were awesome. WWF War Zone had the Raw Is War Arena has It's only arena in the game
Firepro was awesome!!
I still think that raw in idea is a great game, and I wish to see so many of the mechanics just for the weapons alone.
“There Is No Fuckin Season Mode!” 🤣🤣🤣
I was already annoyed by the brand split, by when I bought WWF raw and reckless the yakuza missions on the same birthday, I experienced my 2 biggest letdowns as a youth gamer.
Waiting on the 2 best wrestling games ever Day of reckoning
I feel the same about PlayStation . I dont hate it but other than god of war what else game would i play .
Have you ever played "PRINCE OF PERSIA THE SANDS OF TIME" on Ps2? I played it kinda later on in the ps2's lifecycle when it was in the clearance bin cuz ps3 took over. But MAN that game was so fun to play.....and equally frustrating at times 😂😂😂😂
Isn't career mode just for the create a wrestler? Cause I remember the story being an undefeated streak throughout the entire year for your wrestler.
Are you doing the gamecube WWE games too?
I'm sure someone's uploaded the WM21 update patch somewhere on the internet.
Haku was in one of the SmackDown games I’m pretty sure.
Please do the Resident Evil for second decade.
And please do a video on the entire smackdown vs raw series, all years.
And then please do a video on the wwe 2k series of games. 😊👍
Please help me get more Patreon supporters and more time in the day, hahahaha. Thanks man.
I have no issues with raw 2. I love that game to this day. It's the best out the 3.
I don't get the hate for raw 2 by others
Agreed, once you figure out the AI it becomes so much more playable. Also it’s never gets too easy which makes it fun for me. Also the season mode never ends. It’s basically like Universe mode
i wish they was making wrestling games now
I wanted an xbox instead of a ps2 because I wanted to be "different" and "unique"....This is the reason I missed out on good wrestling games growing up. It's too late now, I enjoyed wrestling games as a kid but now I play mostly fighting games thanks to Street fighter anniversary collection
TNA impact wresting the most underrated wrestling game of all time in my opinion
I did a full retrospective on it on my Triangle X Squared O show, check it out.
Of course we remember how well it went when Nintendo and WWE came back together for 2K18 lol.
The last WWE game to be on the switch was 2K Battlegrounds. What a disappointment.
Raw 2 was flawed but to this day it still has the best create an entrance on any WWE game ever, I'd spend more time creating than playing. The fact you could use your own songs and time when pyro comes off was brilliant. WM21 I've never been so disappointed it was awful in every aspect.
It was bad real bad, not the podcast every Xbox WWE game.
did he ever review the ultimate muslce game that came out on gamecube?
Michael Cole: King…what’s your….prediction….for this match….SODA”
🤣🤣🤣
Did he drink before he went to the job?!
21:09 they missed out the W at the start of their name 😊
the cutscenes and script and plot in the WrestleMania 21 career mode were amazing the gameplay sucks tho but graphics were amazing
xbox was underrated
shit was fun af
The woman commentator from raw 2 is Geoff's wife, hes in accounting.
I got catfished when i bought Raw 2... the cover looked so amazing i could not wait to get home and fire it up! Only to be extremely disappointed at how terrible the controls were.. everything in the game looked unfinished and inadequate.
Triple h character from raw 1 look like Val venis cousin. 😂
