The History of WWE on Nintendo Gamecube (Full Movie)

[@RicheyYT]

The Evolution theme was actually used on TV, it's their very first theme they ever used before Motörhead made "Line in the Sand"

[@Michael_7060]

Throwing people off the construction sites and fighting in the malls in Wrestlemania XIX was the MOST fun I have EVER had playing a WWE game loll

[@iGuardian92]

If only AKI would’ve kept going making the GameCube games too

[@JCW65]

Think they did or some inspiration

[@ThrashAD720]

I mean YUKES they still used the engines for the two Wrestle Kingdom games.

[@JCW65]

@@ThrashAD720 yeah I’ve seen em and I think one was on 360 with the engine

[@bookerreek2839]

100% agreed. Idk how familiar you are with Ultra Pro Wrestling, but if you've never heard of it.. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out

[@bookerreek2839]

​@JCW65 they definitely did with Wrestlemania X9, bringing back the strong/weak grapples. Such a welcomed edition to the engine

[@RawHunterX]

Canceling grappling animations by attacking was the single best mechanic from the GC games. I freaking hate when playing 3+ players matches in todays games and having to sit around while the other perform their moves....esp since the games are even slower.

[@DarrenL2009]

I mean that’s just a lie as you can break up moves by attacking them kid animation now and have been able to the last few years

[@DarrenL2009]

mid*

[@GunthersLoyalSoldier1307]

Also yes, you’re alone in hating that friendly fire feature in the GameCube games. It made things more chaotic and who wouldn’t wanna hit surrounding superstars with a giant swing?

[@Zergrush66]

Us Dan Dan’s appreciate the high quality content. ❤

[@RegginaldRiglet]

His content is always top rope

[@alainlaroche573]

Oh hell nah, doing collateral damage when people get hits by your moves is one of the coolest feature of the gamecube games. Being able to interrupt move also add depth to team match because you can save your partner from taking a finisher. I hate how in other games, doing a move is like a cutscene that you can’t interrupt.

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Oh man, I loved Wrestlemania 19 day of reckoning 1&2. I really loved WM19 where we fight in weird locations. GameCube took the premise of WCW's Mayhem and backstage assault, and cranked it up to 10. I loved it, it was chaotic fun.

[@GeeOhJayyy]

I Had All Of Them & They All Kicked Ass...What A Dope Childhood!!!

[@alec2000]

The WWE games on the GameCube will forever hold a special place in my heart, especially the Day of Reckoning games. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent on both of them as a kid with my brother, and to this day, we still have fun with them. Thank you for the nostalgia, Ian. Thank you for all your awesome retrospectives and for being awesome😁. I hope you and all the DanDans have a wonderful weekend, and I love you all.😊❤️

Dude as a DanDan I think I can speak for most of us that I absolutely love when you edit them all together man, just makes for an amazing video to watch long form.

[@SykoSkot]

I love this channel so much

[@Lordmikejay]

The thing about the Evolution theme is they use to come out with it with no words then eventually it changed to the Motörhead version

[@zjdarrah]

Always makes me wonder if Jim Johnson had an idea what the Motorhead version was going to sound like and did his version or if WWE had Motorhead listen to Jim's version and they based it off of that.

[@RCROX]

12:21 "You're FIRED!!" Best Vince McMahon impression ive ever heard!

[@86tjfender]

The X8 video is one of my favourites on here. I played the hell out of that game when I got it. Turned a blind eye to all the holes and missing pieces it had. I played around with the controls to get the most out of the move sets. With a story mode, titles in exhibition mode and the AKI grapple system, this would’ve been an instant classic 🤘🏻❤️

[@chealoutman5]

No “guys,” just me. I’m a one man team. I do all the writing, editing, etc. I don’t really have the ability to ignore the algorithm. This being my job, it matters a ton, unfortunately. I appreciate the kind words, though. Much more to come.

[@chealoutman5]

@@616Entertainment Ian u r a freaking Bad Ass 👍😎

[@Jpfire19]

I owned all 4 of the GameCube wrestling games. X8 was a good start, XIX was a great leap and I had endless fun with friends playing it. Day of Reckoning 1 introduced me to Breaking Benjamin and I am still a huge fan to this day and have seen them live 3 times fixing to go to 4. Day of Reckoning 2 was the best of all 4. Well except for one thing… One of my favorite wrestlers Matt Hardy wasn’t on DOR2….

Lots of fond memories. I never noticed how huge the ring was in the early games.

[@ryanmarshall778]

Ahh man been waiting for this video, used to comment for it all the time!

[@DarrenL2009]

Little fact, that Evolution theme is actually the first Evolution theme recorded before Motörhead came in and recorded. Must’ve been a timing issue

[@Highlander_Vega]

Great video. LOVE the independent union track playing in the background. Made me want to play wcw vs the world again.

[@andrewforensics9008]

Eh Bro! Love your vids! That WM19 Character select screen is separated by Raw mostly the left side to center and SD the smaller right side. I think Goldberg is at the bottom because he joined after WM 19. I could be wrong but I remember figuring this out when I had the game back in 2003. Thanx again for the content Dude!!

[@williamdickson3409]

The memories i have playing Wrestlemania XIX, Day Of Reckoning, and Day Of Reckoning 2 might be a distant memory due to my age now. But thanks to emulation I'm able to go back to these games one last time. To experience everything again but with much different perception is interesting. Very nostalgic to say the least. Nevertheless, nintendo made some cracking WWE games. Personal favourite of mine would be Wrestlemania XIX and perhaps Day Of Reckoning 2.

[@jayspivak71292]

that wasnt a knockoff evolution theme, that was the original evolution theme. they didnt use it for very long but i think it was in raw 2 as well.

[@TheKurrganShuffle]

This is now the second time you've made me do a spit take from a Chris Benoit joke.... you magnificent bastard

[@bigmclargehuge000]

Gotta agree with everything you said. Def growing pains for the games up to DoR2 but it was worth for that last entry. And yes, moves interrupting other wrestlers was infuriating.

[@jameslightsey1761]

That pedigree on top of the cell through the cell was definitely a 10/10 because there was no hanging from the cell by Triple H

[@rabidhammer31]

that friend was my best friend btw, he ended up changing for the worse many years later, ended up even stealing from me, I still have dreams asking and pleading with him to just be honest and admit it and I ask why, and how was 40 dollars' worth ending the best friendship I ever had. Very depressing, sorry to get a little sad there, it's just a thing for sure that mentally messed me up

[@MaynardOwns]

$40 is a small price to pay to get someone untrustworthy out of your life. Sucks sure but you’re better off without that person around.

[@rabidhammer31]

@@MaynardOwns Oh yeah no doubt, it's the principal of it more so at the time, how because of circumstances I knew it was him and he bold face denied it and it blew me away and was like wow okay then gtfo of my life. Just sucks still ya know, but no doubt I don't ever want to hear or see from him again.

[@stevenkilboy1319]

Dude was the crowd chanting “holy shit” in day of reckoning 2 when big show choke slammed mankind through the top of the cell? Or am I just projecting lol?

[@productreviewproductions439]

I only remember ever playing one of these games, cant remember which but you could put on hats... like random hats like a helmet or a chefs hat during a match, so .... yeah that was just bizarre but the game play was good . The hats was the most memorable thing about it tho

[@rabidhammer31]

Never had a GC so all my memories are connected to my friend who had one, he had the WM games but never DOR, ive actually never played xbox raw 1, 2 and all the GC games

Wrestle Kingdom 2 for ps2 has the corner style viewpoint as its standard camera style just to let you know

[@zackbrown117]

I only had day of reckoning 1 and wrestlemania 19 on the GameCube then when I got the ps2 me and my brothers switched to the smackdown vs raw games

[@NewDawnFadesX]

I remember buying X8 when it came out. It was a huge disappointment to me. I owned ‘No Mercy’ too. Loved ‘No Mercy.’ X8 is trash to me. I consider it one of the worst games I have ever played.

[@mariowalker9048]

You really had high standards. Most wrestling games post 2014 wish they can be as good as x8

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Even if you were trashing these games, you're allowed to have your own opinion on them. I haven't played these games in years and years. So maybe my opinion would change on them, if I play them again. As of right now, I love them. Of course that could just be my memories playing the games. That John Cena commercial, that song is so much better than the one he actually uses. John should've used that instead.

[@616Entertainment]

Trashing these games? They all have their issues, but none of these videos are outright negative at all.

Wrestlemania XIX Review: “Edge and Rey were a team, Big Show’s Alone, [whispering] Chris Benoit killed his family”….LMFAO! That dry, casual line made me laugh hard, thankyou, cuz 🎶One of these things isn’t like the others🎶 But how weird is it that in 2024, years after that review, Vince would be getting the Chris Benoit treatment, and under Triple H, Chris isn’t taboo anymore, it’s just how it is, cuz the fans won’t forget, so why hide him, don’t glorify, just casually state the facts & accomplishments, instead of burying his legacy due to 3 HORRIBLE days in 2007…meanwhile Vince’s name has been outright BANNED by TKO, and they pretend HE doesn’t exist.

"The game itself is more disrespectful to the man than I am under strengths it says 'claims improved stamina...CLAIMS?!"
